Borussia Dortmund Grab Advantage in Champions League Semi-Final
Fullkrug's Goal Gives Dortmund 1-0 Lead
Mbappe Faces Uncertain Future in Last Champions League Appearance
Borussia Dortmund secured a crucial 1-0 victory away to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final, giving them a narrow but important lead heading into the second leg at home. Niclas Fullkrug's first-half goal proved to be the difference in a keenly contested match.
In what is widely expected to be Kylian Mbappe's final Champions League appearance for PSG before his rumored summer move to Real Madrid, the French superstar played a pivotal role. His incisive runs and clever passes created several dangerous chances for the hosts, but Dortmund's defense held firm.
Mats Hummels' 50th-minute header sealed Dortmund's victory in the second leg at Signal Iduna Park, leaving PSG needing to score at least two goals in Paris to progress to the final.
The result leaves Borussia Dortmund with a slight advantage heading into the second leg. However, PSG's attacking prowess and home advantage make them formidable opponents. The return match promises to be another thrilling encounter between two of Europe's top teams.
