PSG v Borussia Dortmund: Champions League semi-final, second leg – live

Half-time entertainment. The other semi-final is also delicately poised. Sid Lowe reports from Madrid, where it’ll all come down this time tomorrow.

HALF TIME: Paris Saint-Germain 0-0 Borussia Dortmund (agg 0-1)

45 min: Mbappe probes down the inside-right channel. He rolls the ball across to Fabián Ruiz, who hits a wild shot that deflects off Schlotterbeck and inches wide of the left-hand post. Kobel was rooted. Nothing comes of the resulting corner, but that could have been disastrous for Dortmund.

44 min: Maatsen throws long from the left. Füllkrug wins a header in the PSG box but there’s nobody there to take advantage of the knockdown.

42 min: Vitinha sends a swerving but basically harmless shot straight at Kobel from distance.

41 min: Brandt has the opportunity to release Adeyemi into space down the left but faffs, allowing Marquinhos to strip him of possession. Füllkrug was way off the play, but appears to be moving freely.

39 min: Well, this is weird. Nobody comes on to see to Füllkrug, who eventually gets up again. That’s good to see, but all slightly strange. Then Mbappe and Gonçalo Ramos restart the game by giving the ball back to Dortmund … but only knocking it out for a throw deep in the visiting team’s territory. Schlotterbeck not happy. The referee tells him to pipe down.

38 min: Uh oh, this doesn’t look good for Füllkrug, who lands awkwardly and immediately waves across to his bench. Dortmund send the ball out of play so he can get some treatment.

36 min: Huge chances at either end! Fabián Ruiz cuts the ball back from the byline to the left of the Dortmund goal. Mbappe swipes at a shot but can’t get a proper connection. Suddenly Adeyemi breaks down the middle! He makes it as far as the edge of the Parisian box before aiming a low drive towards the bottom right. Donnarumma is equal to it! What a save. The Italian keeper keeps PSG in the Champions League!

34 min: PSG are beginning to dominate possession … but that Dembele chance apart, they’re doing very little with it.

33 min: Zaïre-Emery wins a corner down the right. Dembele takes. Marquinhos can’t get a header on target, and is forced to chase after Füllkrug, who attempts to counter. Marquinhos drags Füllkrug down, and is fairly fortunate not to go into the book.

31 min: Mbappe sashays in from the left, drawing four yellow shirts towards him before rolling across for Zaïre-Emery, who immediately shuttles the ball down the inside-right channel for Dembele. It’s a good opportunity to shoot, albeit from a slightly tight angle; Dembele lashes it wildly wide and high. He should have worked Kobel at the very least.

30 min: Dortmund haven’t done much in attack so far. Sancho switches to the left flank in the hope of getting something going, only to telegraph a backheel intended to release Adeyemi.

29 min: If the PSG nerves are kicking in, the hosts aren’t being betrayed by them. The ball is stroked around the back patiently.

27 min: Fabián Ruiz hoicks over harmlessly from distance. A few whistles from the home fans, perhaps the first sign of nerves kicking in tonight.

25 min: Mbappe nearly gets the better of Ryerson down the left, so much so that the Dortmund full back is forced to backheel the ball out while prowling the byline on all fours in the pantomime-dog style. For some reason PSG aren’t awarded a corner, but there have been worse injustices in the Champions League this season. The penalty Füllkrug didn’t get in the first leg, for example.

24 min: The pace drops a little for the first time this evening. Borussia Dortmund will be pretty pleased with the way this has gone so far; Kobel hasn’t had any serious work to do.

22 min: Hakimi has the opportunity to release Dembele down the right but overcooks his looped pass. Goal kick. “I prefer to think that Mbappe adheres to the boot philosophy of the character Milligan, in Spike Milligan’s Puckoon,” begins Stephen Davenport. “Black don’t show the dirt, brown ones don’t show the mud and a good pair of green boots won’t show the grass.”

20 min: Dembele fizzes a low shot-cum-cross through the Dortmund box from the right. Any touch on that and it’s deflected into the net, but there’s nobody in blue nearby.

19 min: Sancho isn’t deterred, though, and takes on Nuno Mendes again. He wins a corner, from which Ryerson lashes a doozy of a shot into the right-hand side netting. To repeat: this isn’t ending goalless. It won’t. It surely can’t.

17 min: Nuno Mendes was given a bit of a runaround by Sancho last week, so he does well here to block his opponent, who very nearly gets clear down the right with a drop of the shoulder. The well-timed insertion of a boot puts a stop to Sancho’s gallop.

15 min: Ryerson powers his way down the right flank. He’s within his rights to go down under severe pressure from Nuno Mendes, but doggedly stays on his feet and makes it into the box, whereupon he loses control. Mbappe then attempts to break upfield with a balletic turn on the left touchline, but runs out of room. Throw. This is already shaping up to be a lot of fun, with both teams totally going for it.

13 min: PSG counter at speed, and Gonçalo Ramos spins on the edge of the D before lashing a first-time effort inches wide of the bottom left. Had that been on target, Kobel may not have got there in time. There’s no way this match is ending 0-0. Then again, the first leg really should have produced at least seven or eight goals, so you can never be 100 percent sure.

12 min: Marquinhos, under pressure from the speedy Adeyemi, fires a backpass towards Donnarumma that nearly foxes the keeper and finds the bottom right. Donnarumma does very well to stick out a leg to divert the ball away from danger. From the resulting throw, Adeyemi takes a shy at goal that’s deflected over for a corner. Nothing comes of the set piece.

10 min: This is being played at 101 kilometres for every one of your French hours. The referee letting it flow. “Pleased to see that, judging by his choice of green boots tonight, that Mbappe has finally made a decision on his future – he’s signing for Celtic. Yours delusionally, Stephen McCrossan.”

8 min: Sancho instigates a high-paced one-two down the right with Sabitzer … but doesn’t get the return pass. Had Sabitzer noted his team-mate’s intention, Sancho was away down the flank.

7 min: PSG are getting a lot of joy down the right. It’s Dembele this time, who turns on the jets but can’t quite get clear of Adeyemi. He earns a corner, though. Dortmund don’t really deal with the set piece, and the ball drops towards Mbappe, just inside the box on the left. Mbappe meets it with a sweet volley, but there’s not enough oomph behind it, and that’s easy for Kobel too. The hosts will be very pleased with these early exchanges.

5 min: More room for Hakimi on the right wing. He looks for Gonçalo Ramos in the middle, but shanks his cross towards Kobel at the near post. The keeper gathers. Some positive early moves by the hosts.

4 min: Some space for Hakimi down the right. A low cross is met by Gonçalo Ramos, who hands out a leg and steers a shot straight at Kobel. Not enough power to fox the keeper.

2 min: Sancho takes his first touch of the evening. Whistles for the first leg’s man of the match. The home fans know a dangerman when they see one. Then a free kick to come in from the right. Maatsen curls it in, but it’s easy meat for Donnarumma. Still, that’ll give the visitors some early encouragement.

PSG, a goal behind after the first leg, get the second underway! Blistering noise rings around the Parc des Princes. Here we go, then!

The teams are out! PSG in blue and red, BVB in yellow and black. Music. Ce sont les meilleures équipes! Sie sind die allerbesten Mannschaften! These are the champions! What an atmosphere, with red pyrotechnics filling the spring Parisian sky. We’ll be off once Emre Can takes receipt of that pennant. Don’t look at it too closely, Emre, you’ve got to run about for 90 minutes.

Pennant watch: an update. “PSG have priors,” reports Joe Pearson. “Did similar when they met Sociedad earlier in the campaign.” My goodness, their designer really is earning their corn this season. Very nice as well, though a bit too fussy to be classified as funky. Or psychedelic. Having said that, you wouldn’t want to stare at it too long after a gourd of Mate and 20 B&H.

Pennant watch. This surely has to be the funkiest commemorative pennon in European Cup history. Does it count as psychedelic? Probably not, though you wouldn’t want to stare at it too long after a strong cup of sugary tea and a hand-rolled cigarette.

PSG make two changes to their starting XI after last week’s first leg. Gonçalo Ramos and Lucas Beraldo come in for Bradley Barcola, who drops to the bench, and Lucas Hernandez, who tore his ACL in Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund are in If It Ain’t Broke mode. They name exactly the same XI that started their victory at the Westfalenstadion. In between times, they’ve beaten Augsburg 5-1 in the Bundesliga; PSG didn’t play last weekend.
