Seeking the club’s elusive first Champions League crown, Kylian Mbappe leads PSG into the second leg of their UCL semifinal matchup against Borussia Dortmund at home on Tuesday.
The sides are 90 minutes from a spot in the final at Wembley, with Dortmund leading by a goal after a 1-0 win at home in last week’s first leg. Niclas Fullkrug’s 36th minute goal earned the victory, but it was a wasteful performance from both sides as the two clubs each missed multiple chances to turn the tide further.
Mbappe was held surprisingly silent in that game, but he was also quieted by Barcelona in the first leg and roared to life up against it a week later, so Dortmund will be well aware of the challenge they face keeping a lid on the French superstar for a second consecutive match.
Whoever makes it through will face a daunting task in the final against either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, but taking care of business here must be the task at hand before even entertaining thoughts of a truly famous final result.

PSG vs Dortmund lineups & team news
Like they were afforded before the quarterfinal second leg against Barcelona, PSG were handed the weekend off in Ligue 1 play, having already mathematically wrapped up the league title.
However, they’ll be without defender Lucas Hernandez who went down injured in the first leg and will miss significant time with a torn ACL, his second in the last three years. That will mean either young Beraldo or the out-of-form Milan Skriniar will have to start at center-back, and it’s likely the 20-year-old Brazilian will get the nod as Skriniar has been out of favor.
Backup goalkeeper Sergio Rico is out for the season after his horseback riding accident earlier this year, and Presnel Kimpembe remains sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury, but otherwise only a back injury to Layvin Kurzawa presents any kind of concern for head coach Luis Enrique.
PSG projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Donnarumma (GK) — Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Mendes — Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, F. Ruiz — Dembele, Mbappe, Barcola.
Borussia Dortmund are still without Sebastien Haller who has had a stop-start season with injuries and remains sidelined for another few weeks. Donyell Malen returned to the field on the weekend and is fit for selection, should he be selected to play a role. Other key Dortmund players like Mats Hummels, Karim Adeyemi, Nicolas Schlotterbeck, Julian Brandt, Marcel Sabitzer, Jadon Sancho, and Niclas Fullkrug were all given various amounts of rest for their weekend league game, and should be set for a return to the lineup.
Dortmund projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Kobel (GK) — Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Maatsen — Can, Sabitzer — Adeyemi, Brandt, Sancho — Fullkrug.
PSG vs Dortmund prediction, betting odds
- Moneyline lean: PSG (-190 on BetMGM)
- Score prediction: PSG 3-1 Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund have been strong in this competition, but they have relied on individual performances to carry them through, which are hard to replicate in difficult circumstances such as this. The Jadon Sancho performance in the first leg was the latest Herculean effort, following Julian Brandt’s creative masterclass against Atletico Madrid and the seven-save brilliance from Gregor Kobel against PSV in the Round of 16.
They will need one or more of those players to reprise those roles if they have any prayer of winning at Parc des Princes, as they cannot continue to lean on their back line to bail them out of situations time and again. Keeping Kylian Mbappe down for consecutive matches has proven fruitless so far this season, as Barcelona found out the hard way, and at home the French club should advance to the final in a month’s time.
