Paris Saint-Germain’s ongoing quest for a maiden UEFA Champions League title takes them to Borussia Dortmund in a semifinal first leg on Wednesday.
Kylian Mbappe is tipped to leave the French capital and move to Real Madrid at the end of this season, making this potentially a final shot at glory with his hometown club.
Luis Enrique’s team have already been crowned Ligue 1 champions and have reached this stage by dispatching Real Sociedad and Barcelona.
Dortmund also saw off La Liga opposition when they came from behind to knock out Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals. Edin Terzic’s side remain on course for a potential re-run of the 2013 Wembley final against bitter rivals Bayern Munich.
The Sporting News is following Borussia Dortmund vs. PSG live, providing score updates, commentary and highlights as they happen.

40 mins before kickoff: We’re still over half an hour away from kickoff and it’s loud at Signal Iduna Park. This is a flavour of what the PSG players will have to contend with tonight.

1 hr 5 mins before kickoff: Luis Enrique has opted for Barcola alongside Mbappe and Dembele in attack. That combination of pace and movement got the better of Barcelona eventually. Goncalo Ramos has to be content with a place on the bench. Nuno Mendes has passed a late fitness test to start at left-back.
1 hr 10 mins before kickoff: The teams are in. Here’s the Dortmund XI. Plenty of firepower with Adeyemi, Brandt and Sancho in support of Fullkrug. It’s the same XI that saw off Atletico Madrid.

1 hr 20 mins before kickoff: This is PSG’s fourth semifinal appearance in the Champions League and they have only reached the final once. That was during 2020, when the COVID-impacted finals tournament took place in one-off games over the course of one week in Lisbon. Then under Thomas Tuchel, they beat Atalanta and RB Leipzig before losing to Bayern Munich in the final. Yes, narrative fans, they are in the other semifinal and now coached by Thomas Tuchel.
Anyway, it means PSG have never won a two-legged semifinal after losing to Manchester City in 2020/21 and AC Milan back in 1994/95.
1 hr 40 mins before kickoff: From the quarterfinals onwards, this season’s Champions League has been exceptional. Are we in for another thriller tonight. On paper, PSG should have more than enough to overcome the fifth best team in Germany right now. But the Yellow Wall at Signal Iduna Park will have things turned up to 11 tonight. PSG’s win over Barcelona was impressive but a Barca being forced to play away from Camp Nou will feel like a very different proposition to a Dortmund side that ransacked Atletico Madrid on home turf last month.
2 hours before kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ live coverage of the UEFA Champions League semifinal first leg between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid played out a compelling 2-2 draw last night. Can one of these teams claim a significant advantage before next week’s return game?
