unexpected result this evening between Borussia Dortmound and PSG. A defeat of the Germans with the victory of the French was foreseeable but this did not happen.
Let's say that this year it is an easier champsion league for them if we consider the scoreboard and the remaining teams, if they don't manage to finish in the final this year I doubt they will ever be able to win the cup also considering the upcoming and very probable departure of Mbapppè in the direction of Spain.
They can certainly recover for the return match at home.

Dortmund played perfectly, they could have scored more goals. But on the other hand, PSG could have scored too, they were unlucky with two balls that hit the post in quick succession. I think this was the right score, Dortmund's one goal win was a fair result. Anything can happen in the second leg. Dortmund made good use of home advantage, the fans were tremendous. Both teams still have a chance for the final, but Dortmund did well today. I hope they will reach the final.
What a fantastic first half! Against popular opinion, Borussia Dortmund are leading by 1-0 in a match people think will be a PSG match. The goal was not by mistake though and there was nothing PSG would have done to stop the ground strike by Niclas Fullkrug. I don't know what to expect in second half but judging by PSG recent history, they have an amazing record of come backs. Several times they came back to win or draw matches that, they can surely do that tonight.
I just hope they can do a comeback tonight because almost hopes are on them and everyone believes they will prevail against Borussia Dortmund. In the overall statistics of each team’s appearance in the Champions League, PSG got the better record and they will not want anything to happen to that record tonight by losing to Dortmund, even at least a draw they will want to fight for. Just few minutes to the me of the game, and PSG have not scored any goal. This is going to be a home victory for Dortmund tonight, maybe PSG can do better in the second leg at their home next week. I didn't expect this result but that’s what football is, the unexpected always happens when you least expect it.
It's a very good game, the second half started very well.
PSG's two balls hit the post. There is a high probability that we will see another goal. There are 15 minutes left in the game.
We have been watching very good games for two days.
With the way things are hitting up it's likely that a goal comes any moment within the remaining time left but the game can still just end up that same scoreline too but one thing is for sure and that's a mouth watering second leg full of goals because Paris st German will come all out for the win if they lose this leg and the same way they handle Barcelona maybe they might rough handle Dortmund too at home.

Dortmund had a good performance throughout the first half. They made it difficult for PSG to build attacks due to their high pressing and that has helped them increase their chances of winning the first half. PSG lost in the middle game, which is why they tended to focus on attacking down the flanks, but that failed to find many gaps in Dortmund's good defence.
Dortmund only lost in possession of the ball, but they were superior statistically in the game, especially regarding attack. There is not much room for PSG players to develop their game, this is really something that Luis Enrique will have to find a solution for. If PSG fails to play better in the second half, then I think Dortmund will win the game. One of PSG's mainstay players in defense suffered an injury during Niclas Fullkrug's goal process, of course this was PSG's loss in the second half.
Indeed, lately PSG's defense looks weak and has conceded more often of course this is very dangerous if Dortmund continues to attack as in the first half, now the focus of PSG is to play defensive so as not to concede more goals then PSG will try to take over the situation in the second leg. By the way, it seems that my bet on a corner kick will lose, Imagine in 45+ minutes of the match there was only one corner kick lol even though I really hope that PSG who plays aggressively after conceding in the first half.Dortmund only lost in possession of the ball, but they were superior statistically in the game, especially regarding attack.

I watched a lot of PSG games this season both in their domestic league and in the Champions League. The team's performance fluctuates and they lack strength in defense and midfield, so that's why I said they tend to lose stability in the game when they get high pressure throughout the game.
PSG's defense, including the goalkeeper, is not as good as fans talk about, but they have reliable attackers. Without the support of a quality and experienced midfielder, PSG is a team that tends to be unstable. Luis Enrique can't always rely on wing play, that's clearly a weakness because opponents know how to deal with it. Up to 80 minutes, PSG was still 1-0 behind Dortmund. I'm not sure PSG can score, but 10 minutes would certainly be worth it if they did find gaps in Dortmund's defence.

Majority of are people are looking down on the capacity of Borussia Dortmund in this game and forgetting that they're not a small team club for PSG to easily defeat when it comes to champions league competition, if this game ends like this 1-0 ,PSG has got big problem , because they will be focused on trying to equalize the goal first, whereas their opponent team Borussia Dortmund would be looking for more goals and wouldn't be on much pressure as PSG will be.
At the start of the second half PSG started to regain their improved game. But unfortunately from the 60th minute it seemed like Dortmund had once again dominated the game. Yes, too many people underestimate Dortmund. And if Dortmund wins this first leg then those of us who bet on PSG will really learn that the UCL is really difficult for us to guess. All the matches were very fierce even though one of the teams was not the favorite team.The match is now even more interesting because both teams are making very good attacks. A good finish is all that is needed for these two teams to each take advantage of the opportunities they have.

Borrusia Dortmund surprising everyone with leading the game 1-0 against Paris Saint-Germain. Edin Terzic and his team was prepared enough to handled such tremendous performance of thr visitors and this is really an important game for both teams. I've settled for positive facts about football, we should not underestimate any opponents because the best team comes with promising players and having good composure to win matches.
Paris Saint-Germain
Dortmund were able to play with more confidence because they played in front of their own supporters. And yes, it seems that no team should be underestimated when a team has made it to the semi-finals. Because to get to the semi-finals requires hard work and mental readiness of the players when playing on the field. And Dortmund showed their mental readiness in this match. It was clear that Dortmund played more openly and more confidently. They are also not afraid to play short passes comfortably. But PSG must have analyzed what needs to be improved against Dortmund in the second half. So things will get more interesting in the second half. Mbappe also couldn't do much in this match. Because he was always closely guarded.Paris Saint-Germain
Dortmund have been highly underrated both by bookmakers and football fans. It was highly speculated that PSG would beat the German side both home and away. But the first half of this game will make sports bettors change the wrong perception they once had against Dortmund. If care is not taken, PSG will concede more goals.
PSG are losing so far, but it's not the end of the match... But perhaps Dortmund are playing with more confidence at home... PSG have fewer dangerous chances, of which there were only a few... At the beginning of the second half, Mbappe tries to do something, but Dortmund are fine...
Dortmund are more crazy playing at home especially so many fans who fill the stadium this adds to the mentality of the players to be more enthusiastic and aggressive in attack, I saw in the second half more Dortmund attacks than PSG.Yes PSG are trying to find space to make a goal but until now it is still difficult even though there is still time to do it, Dortmund will not let that happen but I hope this match ends in a draw because that's the bet I did.
The better option will be BTS (both team scores) considering the fact that both teams are very attacking and press a lot. But talking about winning I see a draw the second leg will be the decider. People saying PSG will win should bear in mind that this Dortmund did the impossible by eliminating Athletico Madrid who everyone thought was gonna go through. This is football, it’s a team game and Dortmund has got the better team spirit though some cases outstanding players bring the magic.
Can be used as an option for betting. Before Dortmund scored a goal, several PSG players often made mistakes in their own area, such as passing errors and trying to anticipate wild balls. Mendes made a passing error which almost caused Brandt to break into Donnarumma's goal in the 25th minute. Fabian Ruiz also failed to pass the ball well several times.Now, PSG is trying to find a way to equalize the score. 10 minutes into the second half, PSG's players started to improve with their attacks being organized. Still, Jadon Sancho and Brandt are the scariest players.
But the chances of both of them scoring a goal are very likely to happen.

The match was in progress and it was quite surprising because Dortmund actually took the lead through a goal from Fullkrug in the 36th minute. What a great goal. In terms of match statistics, the two are actually not that different. It's just that Dortmund's attack line is actually more effective in attack. This time they even had enough control of the ball. Is it possible that Dortmund can really break the predictions that they will fail, and instead progress to the final round?
I don't know, but it's still early in the match and anything can still happen. I still think that PSG will win in the future, or at least just draw in this first leg.
My worries even now began to rise. Because we can see now how Dortmund players have become more confident in playing the ball and making attacks. Well, now Dortmund is becoming more aggressive. It's as if they have regained their confidence which was initially declining. But PSG is also trying quite hard. But he always failed to penetrate Dortmund's back line, which always looked so tight.1 0

The first half has now entered extra minutes. And it looks like the first half score will not change, namely 1-0 in favor of the home team, namely Dortmund. I hope PSG is more focused in the second half. Because I saw them lose focus after being 1 goal behind.
From the first half performance I can say that Dortmund outshined PSG in terms of good ball control and number of chances created and also goal attempts but PSG dominated in ball possession but they looked too weak and couldn't create any scoring abilities nor had shots on target till the end of the first half. Dortmund got a goal in the first half and going with their performance they will end up winning the game and scoring more goals if they continue being aggressive and attacking PSG the way they did in the first half. The PSG team did not penetrate in the box of Dortmund because of the strong defense of Dortmund but this second half we will see a lot of changes in the performance of PSG and Mbappe will begin to show his good performance since they have the opportunity of progressing in to the finals if they are able to get a good result from this away match then go back in their home ground to win the match in the second leg.

The match is very serious and both Dortmund and PSG are well prepared for this game... But it seems to me that today will be either a PSG win or a draw... I remember their group match in Dortmund last year... It was a draw then, but PSG played terribly... Now PSG is playing much better than it was at the beginning of the season... I hope that today will be no less interesting than yesterday...
Not sure if PSG should be favorites to win the first leg soon, but based on the line-up, I think they can be a little more reliable than Dortmund. PSG has a mission to score quick goals and lock up the game with ball possession and high pressure, but considering that Dortmund is playing at home, this match may be a bit more balanced.
Luis Enrique and his players have high enthusiasm to win the match after they managed to shock the Barcelona public with a fantastic victory. I admit that PSG's performance has improved with Luis Enrique, so there are good hopes about them this season, especially to qualify for the final.

I don't know what to expect in second half but judging by PSG recent history, they have an amazing record of come backs. Several times they came back to win or draw matches that, they can surely do that tonight.
Füllkrug scored a great goal for Dortmund. Schlotterbeck's assist was also very clever. Füllkrug almost scored a second goal, Donnarumma saved. Dortmund is officially playing one sided in this match, but the score is still 1-0. Dortmund will be very relieved if they score the second goal. With the support of these passionate fans, they should do better and finish the match with a more advantageous result in terms of score.
But in the second half there is still a chance for PSG to turn things around but in the first half it was clear PSG was not given space to shoot at goal because of the tight escort from the Dortmund defense, maybe in the second half it could change whatever the result was including Dortmund being able to score again then it was their comfort to defend fully until the end of time.But here PSG will still try to score a draw which is most important for them at home not too heavy with the aggregate score later.
Actually Psg should be able to win both home and away but to be frank this is only if they are really ready to play well especially Mbappe but either way I think they're going to make it to the final even if they lose today or at home in second leg just as we saw against Barca though it will be better if they lose today's game than to lose the second leg.

PSG had to make changes in the second half because their attacks couldn't produce goals because Dortmund's defense was quite good, and I saw Ousmane Dembele wasting several opportunities because he always made inaccurate long-range shots. And I also didn't see Kylian Mbappe take a shot, or even get the ball.

Luis Enrique had made preparations before this match started, several of his mainstay players such as Kylian Mbappe, Lucas Hernandez and Gianluigi Donnarumma were not included in the starting list when PSG played against La Havre. He also doesn't care what results he achieves in that game because whatever the results are in Ligue 1, it no longer matters to his team.
Luis Enrique preparations are a form of his seriousness in facing Dortmund in the UCL because this match is very special for PSG who are trying to appear in the final. The massacre carried out at Barcelona headquarters could give PSG players encouragement to repeat their success. A victory at Dortmund headquarters would make it easier for PSG when playing the second leg.
Well, when you are guaranteed to win the league, you try to look for the next season and that is why he is not playing those players. I understand the logic because it just looks like he is going to be missing some of his players next season, mainly Mbappe and that means that he is trying to not play him and see what takes him to, and I believe that it is going to be quite strong for him in the end, we are going to end up with a greater result for sure.Luis Enrique preparations are a form of his seriousness in facing Dortmund in the UCL because this match is very special for PSG who are trying to appear in the final.

I believe that if they know what they need without him, then they are going to be doing fine. There are a lot of people who just play the players until they leave, and they are fish out of water when they leave, Enrique at least getting ready for these players to be missing and trying to figure out what they need to do for this summer.
And now Dortmund finally scored a very charming goal against PSG. Because the PSG players failed to set an offside trap which allowed Niclas Fullkrug to dribble the ball quite freely. My hopes for PSG seem to be too high. But it's still the first half so maybe another surprise will happen. But yeah, the match from the start to the 20th or even 30th minute still felt boring. Because both teams played quite safely. But PSG failed to take advantage of opportunities several times, which was quite unfortunate. Meanwhile, Dortmund actually only had a few difficult chances. But in the end Dortmund is leading 1-0 at this time.
Unbelievable, Dortmund is not favorite team but success lead awhile 1-0 after Niclas Füllkrug goal on 36th minutes and good capital for first half match how Dortmund lead the winning score until second half. Actually PSG performance not quit well because only dominance with ball possession but not created any attempt almost 45 minutes on the first half match, Dortmund made three shots on target and PSG still difficult how to make shots on target behind they had two attempt only on the first half match. How possibilities with Luis Henrique on second half match make some rotation, I think in the bench still have Lee Kang-in and Marco Asensio as attacking line players option or not bad giving more minutes playing for real central forward Randal Kolo Muani.
