    Borussia Dortmund’s Mats Hummels gives his reaction to the win

    “It was intense, but it was fun to play in – and to play in this stadium with these fans,” he told TNT Sports.

    “We weren’t perfect, but it’s good to get the result when you’re not playing at your best.

    “I’ve never won in Paris, so it’s a good time to try for the first time.

    “It’s 90 minutes to the final, and we all want to get there. We are close but not over the finish line.”

    Sancho shines

    Sancho, who has struggled at Manchester United, shone in the match having returned to Dortmund on loan.

    He was clearly Player of the Match.

    Mbappe nearly levelled

    The curling effort from Mbappe was brilliant, but the miss from Hakimi in the follow-up was poor.

    Both efforts hit the post, but one was on a plate.

    The scoreline could have been anything

    Fullkrug’s fine finish on the counter separates the sides in an even tie on a night of nonstop attacks and chances for both.

    PSG trail 1-0, but they will fancy this in Paris.

    Four minutes of added time

    It’s quite incredible that PSG haven’t scored. Let alone that Dortmund haven’t scored more.

    Ruiz is unmarked but heads over

    Zaire-Emery chips a ball in behind the Dortmund back line and Ruiz runs onto it.

    PSG comeback on the stats

    The away side have had three shots on target to the home side’s four.

    The possession is 55-45 in PSG’s favour. It’s a quiet passage of play in the middle of the half.

    Penalty claim for Dortmund

    Fullkrug looks like he was pushed in the back as he attacked a cross.

    VAR aren’t interested.

    Fullkrug fails in front of goal this time

    Sancho bursts down the right and into the area before squaring for Fullkrug.
