    Borussia Dortmund pulled off a superb Champions League upset to reach the final for the first time in 11 years.
    They will be back at Wembley on Saturday 1 June, where they lost to Bayern Munich in 2013, after downing Paris Saint-Germain and ruining Kylian Mbappe’s farewell in France as Jadon Sancho outshone the French superstar again.
    Manchester United fans watching on will have felt further humiliation after Monday’s mauling at Crystal Palace watching Sancho cruise into a Champions League final.
    Mats Hummels headed home the only goal as Edin Terzic’s side built on the hard-fought first leg win to dump PSG out and extend their long wait for European success by at least another year.
    PSG boss Luis Enrique had revved up the home support while the French press assumed a comeback would be straightforward.
    Their ultras in the Virage Auteuil unveiled an elaborate banner ahead of kick off, depicting a team bus smashing through Dortmund’s Yellow Wall above the message: “We are the army of PSG and nothing can stop us.”

    The players will no doubt celebrate tonight – and so they should.
    And they’ll almost definitely tune in for tomorrow’s second leg.
    Real Madrid and Bayern Munich meet at the Bernabeu level at 2-2 from the final.
    They now know what’s at stake if they win that tomorrow.

    Copy linkCopiedFull time celebrations
    Some of the amazing celebrations that followed the full time whistle.

    Copy linkCopiedTheir road here
    Dortmund were in the Group of Death.
    And labelled the whipping boys up against PSG, Milan and Newcastle.
    They topped that group having been 50/1 to win the tournament at that time.
    Now they’ve shut out PSG in the semi finals over two legs to set up a big final.
    Copy linkCopiedHummels stat
    Just to further add to his incredible evening, Mats Hummels joins the history books with that goal.
    That goal puts him as the third oldest goalscorer in a semi final Champions League tie.
    Only Ryan Giggs (37y 148d) and Edin Dzeko (37y 54d) were older.
    Copy linkCopiedNo doubts
    Mats Hummels has been named tonight’s Player Of The Match.
    No real doubts about that.
    UEFA’s Technical Observer Panel said: “Blocks, interceptions, tackles, clearance and leadership at the back – plus the goal, of course.”
    Copy linkCopiedWhere next for PSG?
    It remains a trophy they’re desperate to win.
    They’ve thrown all sorts at it to achieve European success.
    But now without Kylian Mbappe – who admittedly was pretty hopeless in both legs of the tie – that looks like a dream that will have to wait for quite some time yet.

    Copy linkCopiedShot count
    PSG recorded an incredible 45 shots across the two legs.
    And scored zero goals.
    But the amount of times they hit the woodwork was absurd really.
    Here’s the rest of the stats from a dogged second leg.

    The subs and staff make their way over too. Superb scenes.
