Dortmund vs PSG Preview
- Tournament – Champions League
- Date – Wednesday, May 01
- Kick-off Time – 08:00 pm GMT
- Venue – Signal Iduna Park
The two European giants will battle out each other in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first-leg tie on Wednesday, May 01. This season, both clubs are trending in opposite directions and PSG has a great chance to win this tie against a vulnerable Dortmund who have struggled domestically but have progressed well in the European stages.
The highly-anticipated fixture has previously been contested only six times with PSG winning two, drawing three, and losing only one against the Black and Yellow. PSG are on course for a treble this season and it has been a good stretch for the French champions who are unbeaten in the league since September 2023. Also, Paris Saint Germain is entering this game after clinching their 12th Ligue 1 title.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, has endured an inconsistent season and has already played PSG twice earlier in the season’s group stages. But they still have a chance for glory in Europe, even though this is their first semi-final appearance since 2012-13. This tie would be extremely close fought, especially with the presence of the tournament’s current top scorer Kylian Mbappe who has netted eight goals so far.
