Paris Saint-Germain are bidding to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit and beat Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League semi-final return match on Tuesday, with the aim of bringing the curtain down on the Kylian Mbappe era at the club in the final at Wembley.
Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward #07 Kylian Mbappe celebrates after Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward #10 Ousmane Dembele scored an equalizer during the UEFA Champions League quarter final first leg football match between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris on April 10, 2024.
Mbappe informed PSG in February of his intention to depart the Parc des Princes when his contract expires at the end of the season, ending a prolific association with his hometown team which began when he signed from Monaco in 2017. However, a repeat of what happened when they hosted Dortmund in the group stage last September will suffice — on that occasion they won 2-0, with Mbappe netting the first goal from the penalty spot.
Before this season, and since the Qatari takeover of the club in 2011, PSG had won nine Champions League knockout ties in total. While all eyes will, as usual, be on Mbappe, the key to PSG’s chances of recovering from another first-leg loss when they face Dortmund may be in defence. “We know how strong we are at the Parc. Nothing is finished, everything is open,” Marquinhos said after the first leg.
