The main soccer match, which will take place on May 1, will pit PSG against Borussia Dortmund in the teams’ first-ever semifinal matchup.
Borussia Dortmund.
The Champions League is the most successful competition for the “bumblebees” this season; in the national cup, the team has not produced any results, and there are issues in the championship. With three rounds remaining, Borussia is currently in fifth place, five points behind the first quartet, and is likely to finish outside the top four in the Bundesliga. The decisive game in the race for the top four was Dortmund’s 1:4 loss to direct rival Leipzig on the road.
Borussia won the “group of death” in the Champions League and went on to defeat rivals like PSV and Atletico Madrid; even so, the Parisians are not without a sin. It will be challenging to advance to the final.
PSG
PSG secured an early Ligue 1 championship last week with a 3:3 home draw against lowly Le Havre. We have an opportunity to complete a “golden double,” but we must defeat Lyon in the French Cup final. The club’s primary objective is to win the Champions League because there isn’t much competition in the domestic arena alone.
Real Sociedad and Barcelona were eliminated from the playoffs by Luis Enrique’s team, so Borussia will be the favorite in this pairing. Winning a highly sought-after European Cup would mean a lucrative departure for Mbappe from the team.
