    This dortmund defence performance reminds me of the Chelsea year when Cahill blocked everything: Amazing game management.

    Mbappe has been pretty poor over these two semi final legs. PSG needed him to step up and he's gone missing.

    PSG gave it a good go in the second half though, hit the woodwork 3 times.

    Ian Maatsen into a champions league final, as is Sancho who Ten Hag didn't want around.

    PSG choking in the Champions league will never not be funny.

    Who had a possible Ian Maatsen Vs Eric Dier Champions League Final at the start of the season?

    All that money and they can't beat the fifth best team in Germany.

    PSG have hit the woodwork 4 times tonight, and crash out again.

    Agreed, Hummels and Schlotterbeck were immense.

    No PSG, no Man City… brilliant stuff.

    Now I hope Dortmund stuff Bayern or Madrid in the final.

    Would like all German final with Kane getting a hatrick, before Dortmund get their 4th and lift the trophy 😀

    It will be interesting to see where PSG go now. Qatar bought them in 2011 and 13 years later they still haven't won the CL. Now with Mbappe leaving this summer they don't really have any star names left there. In that time they've had players like Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Zlatan, Di Maria, Verratti, Thiago Silva, Sergio Ramos etc and it hasn't worked in Europe.

    Personally i think instead of wasting hundreds of millions on 'star' names they should go down the same route as Bayern and turn themselves into the club that all top local players want to be at. Players like Saliba, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Konate, Gusto, Wesley Fofana instead of leaving the French league at a young age to go abroad, would instead want to sign for PSG. But aside from a couple of exceptions it rarely happens.

    An all German final at Wembley, stop me if you've heard this one before

    Not sure Kimmich had to act like he had been shot in the head though

    Definite foul. Surprised there wasn't a yellow card for that

    Going to be a bit amusing if Kane ends up winning the hardest trophy of the lot that Bayern have been involved in this season.

    Win the European club competition with a German club at Wembley.

    Win the European international competition with England in Berlin.

    I like the symmetry…

    German teams have never rolled about as much as they do now. Like watching Argentina or Portugal, hitting the deck every few seconds to kill the game

    Taking Kane off, could be bad news if they get an equaliser. Should have learnt from City taking Haaland and De Bruyne off before penalties
