Heading into the last 15 minutes of normal time then.
Anyone dare pick a final scoreline? Me neither.

No wonder Gregor Kobel gets a pat on the head from team-mate Julian Ryerson.

Borussia Dortmund 1-0 Paris St-Germain
Image source, Getty ImagesThis could be a big save from Dortmund's Gregor Kobel.
The PSG attack ends up in Kylian Mbappe dinking a pass into Ousmane Demeble, who tries to steer the ball past the left of Kobel.
But the Swiss keeper stands up as long as possible before reacting quickly to block.

That gives PSG the chance to break quickly down the left through Ousmane Dembele...

Borussia Dortmund 1-0 Paris St-Germain
Jadon Sancho gets the party tricks out. He's trying to make a mug of Nuno Mendes.
But the PSG defender, with help from his team-mates, scramble back possession on their own byeline and eventually clear.

Jadon Sancho has is mojo back, he wants the ball and he wants to take people on.
He is in an environment where he is liked and he looks like a different football player.

Randal Kolo Muani hasn't had a major impact yet for PSG.
His latest contribution is passing the ball straight out for a Dortmund throw-in.

The pace drops a little. Time to catch breath. That's after Karim Adeyemi spoons a cross from the left well over everyone in the PSG box.

Jadon Sancho has completed 10 dribbles tonight, the most by a player in a Champions League semi-final since Lionel Messi in April 2008 against Man Utd (16).
Wow. Stat.

You can tell with the way Niclas Fullkrug jumped he was knocked off balance.

Borussia Dortmund 1-0 Paris St-Germain
Niklas Fullkrug could have had a hatty tonight.
A free-kick from the left is swung in by Ian Maatsen and the Dortmund striker flings himself through the air like Clark Kent.
He can't keep the header down though.

While the Dortmund fans still dissect that incident, Luis Enrique decides it is time for a tactical tweak.
Winger Bradley Barcola goes off and is replaced by Randal Kolo Muani.

Dortmund are begging for another penalty.
Niclas Fullkrug goes down after trying to reach Julian Brandt's cross. Is he pushed by Nuno Mendes? The hands were up but not sure how much contact there is.
English referee Anthony Taylor is unmoved.

Sancho is positive and the big fella Niclas Fullkrug is leaning back, get over it and keep it down!
The ball was perfect, Fullkrug has to get over it.
I am enjoying Sancho's performance.

Now Sancho is starting to have some fun!
The Dortmund winger breezes past Nuno Mendes on the right but his cross to Niclas Fullkrug is an awkward one for the goalscorer to hit.

Borussia Dortmund 1-0 Paris St-Germain
Jadon Sancho has been a little quieter in the second half, but now he pops up again.
A neat touch allows him to move forward on the right and he slips the ball inside to Niclas Fullkrug.
He shows his confidence with a first-time shot which is deflected out for a corner.

Borussia Dortmund 1-0 Paris St-Germain
This is more like what we expected from PSG. Kylian Mbappe looks for a one-two around the corner but Bradley Barcola is not on the same wavelength.
A breather for Dortmund, who take their time to regroup before taking the goal-kick.

Match Facts
Borussia Dortmund have only won one of their six meetings with PSG in all competitions (D3 L2), beating them 2-1 in the first leg of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League round of 16, before being eliminated 3-2 on aggregate.
Paris Saint-Germain have never won an away match against Borussia Dortmund, losing one and drawing two of their three visits, including a 1-1 draw in the group stages of this season’s UEFA Champions League. Indeed, this is the first time two teams have faced in the group stage and semi-finals in a single campaign in the competition since Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in 2012-13.
Borussia Dortmund are playing in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the fourth time; they’ve reached the final on two of the three previous occasions (1996-97 and 2012-13), with their only elimination at this stage coming in 1997-98 against Real Madrid.
This is Paris Saint-Germain’s fourth appearance in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. They’ve lost all four games in their two previous two-legged ties (vs Milan in 1994-95 and Man City in 2020-21), although they did beat RB Leipzig in a single match in 2019-20.
Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in their last 10 UEFA Champions League home games (W6 D4), their longest ever such run in the competition. Indeed, only three teams are on longer current unbeaten home runs in the competition: Manchester City (31), FC Bayern München (15) and Real Madrid (12).
Paris Saint-Germain have averaged 65% possession in the UEFA Champions League this season; their most in a single campaign on record (since 2003-04). Along with having more possession in all eight UEFA Champions League games under Luis Enrique, the French side have also allowed the fewest opposition passes per defensive action in the current tournament (8.7).
Borussia Dortmund’s per game average of 1.8 expected goals against is the highest of any team to progress from the UEFA Champions League group stages this season (18 xG against in 10 games). However, based on the quality of shots faced, Dortmund have conceded ten fewer goals than expected in the tournament this term (8 conceded from 18 xG against – excluding own goals).
Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappé has scored eight goals in this season’s UEFA Champions League, his joint-best return in a single campaign (also 8 in 2020-21). The Frenchman is also just two goals away from becoming the ninth different player to score 50 UEFA Champions League goals – he’s scored a brace in his last two away games in the competition.
Marcel Sabitzer has assisted five goals in the UEFA Champions League this season, with two of those coming in their second leg victory over Atlético de Madrid. The only Borussia Dortmund player to make more assists in a single campaign in the competition is Ousmane Dembélé (6 in 2016-17), who now plays for opponents Paris Saint-Germain.
Vitinha has completed 96% of his passes under pressure in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages this season (212/222); the highest percentage of any midfielder (min. 10 such passes). The Portuguese also has the most line-breaking passes of any Paris Saint-Germain player in the knockout stages this term (45).
