Mats Hummels’ second-half header sent Borussia Dortmund into the final of the Champions League as they held off a late fightback from PSG to progress 3–1 on aggregate. Dortmund, who had won the first leg 2–1, struck five minutes into the second half through Hummels’ powerful header, and PSG were unable to muster a response until it was too late. The French side hit the woodwork four times in total, with Kylian Mbappe, Warren Zaire-Emery, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha all denied by the frame of the goal.
