Borussia Dortmund booked their place in the Champions League final after beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the second leg and 2-0 on aggregate.
The German side took a slim lead to Paris and knew they would be in for a tough night as Kylian Mbappe looked to lead his side to Wembley on 1 June.

Warren Zaire-Emery hit the post for the hosts early in the second half before minutes later Mats Hummels headed home from a corner to put Dortmund in the driving seat at the Parc des Princes.
Nuno Mendes hit the post for PSG again on a night when things were not going their way and they thought they should have had a penalty after Ousmane Dembele went down in the box with half an hour left to play.
The referee initially gave a spot-kick but changed his mind and awarded a free-kick which VAR checked and cleared, despite three-quarters of Dembele’s body being in the penalty area.
Mbappe nearly snuck one in at the near post to level the scores on the night but Gregor Kobel got down well to deny the World Cup winner before captain Marquinhos flicked a header on and just past the post.
Mbappe was the next player to hit the woodwork with a difficult effort in the box and 30 seconds later Vitinha let one go from 25 yards and hit the frame again in what was nothing short of a remarkable series of events in Paris.
In the end, Dortmund held out to advance and there was a huge outpour of relief from the players and staff as they await the winners of Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich.
