Dortmund vs PSG lineups, stating 11, team news: Mbappe primed to return for latest Champions League glory bid

By | April 30, 2024

Paris Saint-Germain face familiar foes on their latest quest for UEFA Champions League glory when they travel to Borussia Dortmund for a semifinal first leg on Wednesday.

Dortmund and PSG each progressed from the toughest section in this season’s group stage, with Edin Terzic’s men topping Group F on 11 points, three clear of the Ligue 1 champions in second. 

Defeats away from home to Newcastle United and AC Milan left PSG in peril and they claimed half of their points haul across the two games with Dortmund.

Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring from the penalty spot at the Parc des Princes before Achraf Hakimi sealed a 2-0 win, while Warren Zaire-Emery cancelled out Karim Adeyemi’s goal at Signal Iduna Park.

PSG’s Spanish head coach Luis Enrique has seen off two opponents from his homeland during the knockout stages, with Real Sociedad and Barcelona falling. After beating PSV in the last-16, Dortmund reduced LaLiga’s contingent further by coming from behind to defeat Atletico Madrid.
