The Fight for a Place in the Champions League Final

As has become the norm over recent years, PSG are once again Ligue 1 champions in April, celebrating their 50th trophy in the clubs’ history. However, their celebrations were temporarily spoiled by a defeat at the hands of Dortmund in the first leg of this Champions League semi-final tie. The French champs struggled to find the back of the net and left with plenty to do at home. Despite several chances from the likes of Mbappe and Hakimi, PSG failed to equalise.

The German titans are part of the elite list of clubs that have experienced European glory, with their only title coming against Juventus in the 1997 final. Last season, they reach the last 16 of the competition, where they fell short against a struggling Chelsea side.

Despite PSG securing their twelfth Ligue 1 title this year, the Champions League has always been the ultimate goal for the club. Despite making over 15 attempts and coming close on several occasions, PSG are yet to achieve their dream of European silverware. The last time they reached the final was back in 2020, where they lost to Bayern Munich. Last season, they made it to the round of 16, where Bayern once again proved too much for the French side. Can Mbappe and his teammates overcome Dortmund at home and beat Madrid or Bayern in the final?
