How Borussia Dortmund beat PSG to advance to Champions League final

Luis Enrique spoke to TNT Sports after PSG's elimination: "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 look ahead: "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."

On the other hand, it surely takes more than luck to shut out Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.

This was only the third time that PSG have been kept off the score sheet in their past 39 home Champions League matches.

Borussia Dortmund entered this match already as the side with the biggest difference between goals conceded and expected goals conceded in the Champions League this season, and that disparity only grew today.

They now stand as having allowed nine goals from 23 expected, a difference of 14!

Here was one observation from our Discuss tab during this second leg:

• JS: 💬 "So funny how you can see that Red Bull graduate Marcel Sabitzer always wants to press, but most of the time does it on his own. Great waste of energy that, in the end."

And for balance, I've included it was a picture of Sabitzer celebrating his side's success in Paris. The Austrian was second for Dortmund in clearances and headed clearances.

He wasn't Mats Hummels levels of influence tonight, but he played his part in Dortmund's success.

Edin Terzić spoke to DAZN after guiding his team into the final: "Before the first game against (PSV) Eindhoven, we talked for the first time about how short the journey to London could be. 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."

There are a lot of happy fans over at our Discuss tab as you'd expect, although not all of them are Borussia Dortmund supporters. Here's a pick of the reaction...

• Besar D: 💬 "One for ages, that! Mats you legend!"
• Marcus L: 💬 "The goalposts are Dortmund's MOTM over the two legs."
• Matthew L: 💬 "PSG shouldn’t even be in this round. The referee helped them beat Barcelona, otherwise they aren’t good enough!"

Peter Rutzler, Sebastian Stafford-Bloor and Liam Tharme have broken down a monumental win for Borussia Dortmund.

Marco Reus spoke to DAZN after his team's victory: "Indescribable. After more than 10 years, I am in the final with Borussia again. Ousmane (Dembélé) 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 is in the final again. Nobody expected this. It's just incredible."

Paris Saint-Germain recorded 44 shots over the two legs of the semi-final but failed to score in each.

That goes down as the most shots a team have had without scoring in a Champions League on tie since at least 2003.

Well, that won't go down as the greatest game of football - just one of the really good nights for Dortmund. Here's how the numbers showed up...

FT: PSG 0-1 Borussia Dortmund

• Possession: 70% - 30%
• Shots: 30 - 7
• On target: 5 - 3
• XG: 3.22 - 0.77
• Big chances: 5 - 1
• Successful duels: 45 - 47
• Possession lost: 142 - 112

PSG had the ball, the efforts on goal and the overall quality of chances - which will make the night all the more satisfying for Dortmund.

PSG somehow managed to hit the woodwork four times tonight, bringing their total in the Champions League this season up to 14!

That's the highest total any team have recorded in a single season in the UCL since Opta started tracking the stat in 2003.

At the age of 35 years and 143 days, Mats Hummels has become the oldest German ever to score a goal in a Champions League knockout match.

It is not very often you see a player on the losing team given the Player of the Match award, especially in a Champions League semi-final.

But, today, Vitinha was head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch and should feel seriously aggrieved to be on the losing side.

The 24-year-old was really good in the first leg and even better tonight; three chances created, one big chance created, eight ball recoveries and a firecracker of a strike that hit the crossbar.

Defeat for PSG, but another coming-of-age performance for Vitinha.

The chances PSG missed are a distraction. Dortmund were magnificent in their industry and organisation, and there were all sorts of outstanding individual performances across the two legs.

A word for Mats Hummels: 35 years-old, standing tall in the middle of defence and setting the tone for so much of what happened around him. A fabulous night at the end of a quite brilliant Champions League campaign for him.

Well, not quite the end.
