#PSG #scored #goals #Hummels #header #Dortmund #Champions #League #final
Since Dortmund won the first game with Füllkrug’s goal a week ago, they didn’t mind that PSG, playing at home, didn’t start with big attacks in the second leg. The Parisians were more active, but Adeyemi still missed the biggest chance of the first half. The striker completed a quick counterattack with a dangerous shot, Donnarumma needed a feat even though four men surrounded the young striker.
PSG started the second half with noticeably more momentum, after a pass, Zaire Emery hit the post from three steps away, instead of the goal.
Dortmund took the lead two minutes later.
Brandt’s corner was perfectly met by Hummels, and even if the Parisians knew exactly that the world champion defender was by far the most dangerous in spot kicks, they still could not prevent him from rising from four meters and nodding into the goal unperturbed.

PSG connected, Ramos also had a chance after Dembele’s cross, but his attempt went over the top. Then Mendes hit the left goal post from 24 meters, in this case Kobel was already beaten, he couldn’t save even if he threw himself. This was their fourth goal post in this duel, and their fourteenth in the entire season, which is a BL record.
In the 65th minute, Hummels committed a foul just before the penalty area, and the video footage confirmed that referee Orsato judged the situation correctly. Asensio’s free kick died in the goal line.
After the substitution of Niklas Süle, Dortmund defended with five defenders and set up even more on the counter. Meanwhile, the Germans were self-sacrificing in their defense, goalkeeper Kobel was also in place for Mbappé’s ball to the short corner.
The last ten minutes began with PSG knowing that they needed at least two goals to make it through extra time.
Instead of goals, however, the goalposts came again.
Marquinhos’ header missed by inches, Mbappé hit the post in the 87th minute, but the ball went off the bar and into the field. A minute later, Vitinha’s long-range bomb was also saved by the crossbar. The rebound was cleared by the best player of the match, Hummels. In the last moments, there were no more great situations, PSG was eliminated.
After 2013, Dortmund reached the BL final again, even then it was held at Wembley. Eleven years ago, Bayern Munich was the opponent and lost. There is still a chance for this duel if the Bavarians somehow beat Real Madrid on Wednesday night. That match starts at 2-2.
