A repeat of that will see them through to the final at Wembley, and raise the prospect of Kylian Mbappe winning the Champions League in his final match for the club – potentially even at the expense of future employers Real Madrid, who drew 2-2 at Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Dortmund battled past Atletico Madrid to reach this stage, for what is their first semi-final appearance since 2013. PSG, meanwhile, fought back to brush aside Barcelona and clinched yet another Ligue 1 title at the weekend.
