Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund's boss Edin Terzic, speaking to TNT Sports: "Proud if I have to find one word. It is a very proud moment for us.
"The dream is not over yet.
"I think we suffered a lot, but we showed a very good away game against a team that is so powerful up front, quick and mobile.
"We won both games in the semi-final. This is unbelievable.
"It was an outstanding performance.
"In the first half they had been the better team in terms of dominance, but we had the biggest chance with Karim Adeyemi and it was a crucial moment for us to keep the belief high."
On reaching the final: "Sounds good!"

This German Londoner is hoping for a repeat of the 2013 Wembley line-up. Still remember having some Bayern fans in the theatre show I was working on at the time and also helping some Dortmund fans negotiating the intricacies of the Tube.

Image source, Getty ImagesPSG boss Luis Enrique, speaking to TNT Sports: "When the result is that, yes it's difficult of course.
"A tight match, but to be honest I think we have to win the match. We created 31 shots, four [times hitting the woodwork] - football is so unfair sometimes.
"Congratulations to them. They are a great team and I hope they can go to the final and win it."
On regrouping: "That is our job to try to create something and it is a sad moment.
"We need to create something that is special and next year we will try to win the competition."

Paris St-Germain hit the woodwork 14 times in the Champions League this season, the most on record (since 2003-04) by any team in a single campaign.
Six of these have come in this tie - two last week and four tonight.

"Since the second match of the group stage, we've believed that we can prevail in every game - and I don't see why we shouldn't win at Wembley now.
"We remained active today and were able to take so much pace out of the game and atmosphere out of the stadium. That was our recipe for success today."

Kylian Mbappe is world class. He has a hat-trick in the World Cup final - he is a big-time player.
Could he have done more? Possibly, but all the credit has to go the way the Germans defended.
Some of it is down to Mbappe as there were occasions he could have done more to get on the ball. But I would flip it, the majority of the credit has to go to the German defence – it was a tactical masterclass.

"Back then, many were still puzzled. Last season, we lost the championship at home on the last matchday.
"I'm happy that we can now give something back to the fans. We've grown with every game and eventually realised that we could be the team that surprises everyone in the end. Now I'm very happy to be in the final with my team."

Borussia Dortmund forward Marco Reus speaking to DAZN: "Indescribable. After more than 10 years, I am in the final with Borussia again. Ousmane [Dembele] and Achraf [Hakimi] brought a tremendous amount of pace and we suffered a lot.
"How we won the game, no-one will ask tomorrow. Shots against the post won’t matter tomorrow. What counts is that Borussia Dortmund are in the final again. Nobody expected this. It's just incredible."

Image source, Getty ImagesThis is unusual for Kylian Mbappe. We are accustomed to seeing him at the biggest stage.
All through his career he has seemed to step up, but over the two legs he has been very subdued.
You have to give Dortmund massive credit. They didn’t allow Mbappe to get one v one.
Those big players find something when they get into a space. The chance at the end, the volley, that was a chance for him to being clinical.
But, more credit goes to the team in yellow, Dortmund. The manager Edin Terzic deserves massive credit.

Individuals performing all over the pitch, the two Dortmund centre-backs [Mats Hummels and Nico Schlotterbeck] were the man of the match.

Dortmund were organised, they knew they would get one or two chances and the two centre-backs were outstanding.
They did enough to be dangerous on the break and it has been a triumph for football.

This will be the eighth meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund in European competition, with both sides winning two games apiece to date (three draws). All four of the victories recorded in this fixture have been by the team playing at home.
Borussia Dortmund have faced Paris Saint-Germain away from home in Europe on three occasions, but have never won (D1 L2) or scored on any of those trips. They were beaten 2-0 away to the French side in this season’s group stage in September, and only managed one shot on target in that game.
Paris Saint-Germain are aiming to reach a European Cup/UEFA Champions League final for just the second time (previously in 2019-20), while Borussia Dortmund could do so for the third time in their history, after 1996-97 and 2012-13; the latter being the last time the final of this competition was played at Wembley.
Following their 6-4 aggregate win over Barcelona in the previous round, Paris Saint-Germain could become the first side to lose the first leg in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals in a UEFA Champions League campaign and still progress to reach the final.
Paris Saint-Germain have only failed to score in two of their last 38 home games in the UEFA Champions League (93 goals scored in this run), with FC Bayern München being the team to keep a clean sheet on both of those occasions (1-0 in February 2023 and April 2021).
Borussia Dortmund are the side with the biggest difference between goals conceded and expected goals against in the UEFA Champions League this season (+10.7 – nine conceded from 19.7 xG against). The only two instances of a team hitting the woodwork twice and failing to score in a game in the competition this term were both against Edin Terzic’s side (PSG in the first leg and Newcastle in October 2023).
Paris Saint-Germain have trailed on the scoreboard (339 minutes) for longer than they’ve been ahead (291 minutes) in the UEFA Champions League this season. They’ve also conceded the opening goal in each of their last three games in the competition, their longest such run since April 2015 (4).
Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappé has been directly involved in 32 goals in 31 home games he’s started in the UEFA Champions League (21 goals, 11 assists). Indeed, only once previously has he failed to score in both legs of a knockout stage tie in the competition when starting in both matches (v Real Madrid in the round of 16 in 2017-18).
Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho has completed more dribbles (22) than any other player in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League this season. 13 of those came in the first leg against Paris Saint-Germain; the most by a player in a knockout stage game in the competition since Neymar v Atalanta in August 2020 (15 for PSG).
Kylian Mbappé has created the most chances under pressure (23) of any player in the UEFA Champions League this season, although none of those have been converted by a Paris Saint-Germain teammate. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is the player with the most assists under pressure (5) in the competition this term.
