In the historic battle to reach the Champions League final for the 2023/2024 season, Germany's Borussia Dortmund have achieved what many thought was impossible. Led by Edin Terzic, the team withstood the onslaught of Paris Saint-Germain and managed to win 2-0 on aggregate, advancing to the final of the prestigious tournament.
The attack of PSG did not break the defense of "Borussia"
The start of the match in Paris was for the home team, which tried to snatch the victory, but the Germans showed an incredible defensive game. The Parisians had the advantage in possession of the ball, but all their attempts to break the wall from the defenders were in vain. Gregor Kobel in the goal of "Borussia" became a real hero, repelling blow after blow.
Decisive moment of the second half
The key moment of the meeting was the second half, when in the 47th minute, Warren Zaire-Emery, not using an excellent opportunity, only hit the bar. And just three minutes after a corner kick from Julian Brandt, Mats Hummels expertly closed the pass with his head, hitting the PSG goal and making the score unattainable for the French club.
Tense last minutes
Despite the loss, PSG didn't give up until the very end and created several great chances to equalise, but their efforts were met with a nuisance in the form of the crossbar. Dortmund defended their goal and deservedly reached the final.
The final test is ahead
Terzic's team now awaits their opponent in the final, which will be decided in the confrontation between "Real" and "Bayern". And the fans of "Borussia" are already dreaming of the opportunity to raise the forged trophy of the Champions League above their heads.
In the decisive match, which will take place already this month, Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin will defend the goal of "Real". This adds even more intrigue and anticipation for the next match.
