Rio Ferdinand reacts on TNT This 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.

WATCH: The moment Dortmund booked their place in the final 10:05PM
So much talent, so little to show for it 9:57PM
Dortmund are Wembley bound! The German side have reached the final for the third time in their history. It means Jadon Sancho will play in the final.
Which Englishman will join him – Harry Kane or Jude Bellingham?
9:54PM
FULL TIME: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) It’s all over in the Paris. It is a stunning upset. The PSG players collapse to the ground. The Dortmund players sprint to the small pocket of fans on the far side in delight.
What a performance.

9:48PM
88mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) OH MY GOODNESS.

On: Nmecha
9:43PM
84mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) Hakimi shoves Schlotterbeck aggressively on the touchline after the defender tried to waste time.
More ill-discipline from PSG. Would not be shocked to see one of their players lose it before full time.
9:40PM
81mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) Mbappe forces a near post save from Kobel. He timed his run perfectly but should have gone for the far post.
9:38PM
80mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) Into the final 10 minutes we go. Dortmund have been exceptional defensively and deserved their luck so far.

9:35PM
75mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) Dembele goes flying into a tackle on Schlotterbeck. He wins the ball but it was a wild challenge, full of frustration.
Change for PSG:
Off: Zaire Emery
On: Lee
9:33PM
73mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) PSG need two goals just to force extra time. And they are forcing everything at the moment. Mbappe shoots over from a low percentage position.
He has been poor today but credit to Dortmund for marking him out of the game so far…
9:29PM
69mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) Five at the back now for Dortmund. They are desperate to protect what they have as we enter the final quarter of this tie.

On: Sule
9:26PM

PSG players are incensed. VAR looks at it and backs the referee’s decision. Huge call.
The resulting free kick from Asensio is blocked and the ball is cleared.
9:23PM

On: Barcola and Asensio

9:21PM
60mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) MENDES HITS THE POST.

That’s the fourth time PSG have hit the post across the two legs.
9:19PM
59mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) Positive and direct play from Vitinha to burst forward toward the Dortmund box, he lays it off to Ramos but his effort is poor and the ball sails over the bar.
9:17PM

Off: Adeyemi
On: Reus
9:10PM
50mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 1 (agg; 0-2) GOAL HUMMELS FOR DORTMUND.
Careless play by Marquinhos to concede a corner. From the resulting set piece, Hummels gives Beraldo a little push and meets the ball cleanly to head past Donnarumma.
Big problems for PSG now.
9:08PM
48mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) WOW. Huge miss by Zaire Emery.
Mbappe cross into the box after a short corner, the ball glances off Sabitzer’s head and Ramos fails to get a clean touch on it. The ball flies to the far post when Zaire Emery is in space but his shot hits the outside of the post when it should be in the back of the net.
9:05PM
47mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Jadon Sancho completed more take-ons (3) than any other player in the first half vs. PSG, while no player won possession more times (6).

How important will this be when all is said and done? 8:48PM
Half-time: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) All square at the break. Dortmund’s first leg lead is still intact and they are 45mins from Wembley. Work to do for PSG to avoid more Champions League heartbreak.
8:47PM
45mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) One minute of added time.
8:44PM
42mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Credit to Dortmund for restricting PSG largely to shots from distance. They will be very pleased if they can get into half time with the scoreline still level.
8:42PM
38mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Fullkrug is down for Dortmund and in need of treatment. But the referee doesn’t appear to let a physio come on to the field.
Dortmund kicked the ball out on the far side deep in their half. A bit of gamesmanship from Ramos as he kicks the ball out near the corner flag. Dortmund players are unimpressed and a few players square up but it all calms down.
Desperate stuff from Ramos.
8:38PM
34mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Massive moment in this tie. Dortmund break through Adeyemi. The winger approaches the box, shifts the ball to his left and shoots but Donnarumma gets down low to make the save and the ball is cleared.
First clear opportunity of the match and a clear sign of the threat Dortmund pose.

30mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) First time tonight that PSG comes alive. Mendes and Mbappe combine down the right, the latter drives inside but can’t get a shot off so he lays it off and the ball eventually finds its way to Dembele who shoots wildly over the bar from a difficult angle.
Poor effort.
8:30PM
27mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Home fans starting to get a bit frustrated with Dembele. The winger is well known for his inconsistency and so far tonight, he has been erratic on the ball. But he keeps showing for the ball which is positive and not hiding.
8:26PM
23mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Haven’t seen much from Mbappe so far and that will delight the away team. The quieter he is, the better for them.
8:21PM
19mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Ryerson blasts a shot into the side netting after good hold up play by Fullkrug. The German side have definitely settled into the match and are now enjoying 53 per cent of possession.
8:19PM
16mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) First 15 mins safety navigated by Dortmund which should please their manager Terzic on the bench.
Sancho yet to have the same joy tonight that he had against Mendes last week.

14mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Getting Adeyemi into space will be vital for Dortmund. He has the pace to frighten that PSG defence, especially on the counter attack.
8:12PM
10mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Dortmund need to dig deep and hang on here. PSG are going at 100mph and being backed by their supporters.
Some composure on the ball needed.
8:08PM
6mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) First sight at goal for Mbappe. A cross from Dembele is headed high into the air and falls to the PSG star but his effort is comfortably saved by Kobel.
8:06PM
4mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) High intensity start from PSG, as expected. Kobel in the Dortmund goal has been tested with a couple of crosses from Hakimi.
8:03PM
2mins: PSG 0 Dortmund 0 (agg; 0-1) Kylian Mbappe may be PSG’s all-time leading goalscorer but he is not universally loved by the supporters here, in large part because of his near-constant flirting with Real Madrid over the years. With the end of Mbappe’s PSG career now just a few weeks away, this is the Frenchman’s chance to leave on the highest of highs.
His move to Real Madrid is all but confirmed, and there remains the very real prospect that his last game for PSG could be against Madrid in the Champions League final.
8:01PM
Kick Off: PSG vs Dortmund PSG get the match underway.
8:00PM
Here we go! The teams are out and it is a raucous atmosphere in the Parc des Princes.
7:55PM
‘PSG are just strolling about’ It’s quite striking how relaxed the PSG warm-up has been. They’re just strolling about, having some shots, standing around. Dortmund were out a good 10 minutes earlier than the home side and went through all sorts of intense drills.

‘Biggest match of Jadon Sancho’s career’ Edin Terzic, the Borussia Dortmund head coach, reckons this could be the biggest match of Jadon Sancho’s career. It is hard to argue with that assessment. In terms of natural talent, this is the stage that Sancho was born to grace — as he demonstrated so beautifully in the first leg last week.
There are so many unanswered questions about Sancho’s medium and long-term future but tonight is all about this moment and this opportunity for the 24-year-old to prove he belongs at the highest level of the game.

‘PSG’s boisterous ultras’ Much of the build-up in Paris has focused on the atmosphere that will be created at the Parc des Princes tonight. PSG want this competition more than any other and their supporters, especially their boisterous ultras, are evidently in the mood to help in any way they can. The singing and drumming started more than 75 minutes before kick-off and it’s already very, very loud in here.

Can PSG bounce back from first-leg defeat? Hello and welcome to coverage from Paris of the Champions League semi-final second leg between PSG and Borussia Dortmund.
Last week, Dortmund earned a 1-0 lead courtesy of a fine strike by Niclas Füllkrug. Dortmund have never won at PSG in their previous three visits, and their last match at Parc de Princes ended in a 2-0 loss during the group stage in September.
A similar result would put the Ligue 1 side into the final but manager Luis Enrique says his players will not be going all out to score twice.
“The aim isn’t to win by two goals, but to win, if you think you have to score two goals that seems like a big target,” Enrique said.
“We just want to play and score. If we score in the 89th minute, it will carry on. We don’t need to score right away, we just want to win the game. You could score twice in two minutes, but you could also concede a goal.
“We have to be 100 per cent focused on attack and defence. If we concede a goal, it is not serious, we have to stay calm. If we score twice very quickly, our opponents will have to react. It will be an even game with a high level of play on and off the ball, so it will be tough for both teams.”
For Dortmund, coach Edin Terzic says his players need to be even better than they were in the first leg.
“We showed a good game last week, which gave us that little lead. But that performance probably won’t be enough to get us into the final,” Terzic told reporters.
“We have to do everything together, with a good plan, with a good idea. Paris will certainly do better than last week. We want to earn this ticket to the final. We’ll tackle that together.”
