BORUSSIA Dortmund beat Paris St-Germain to reach their first Champions League final since 2013.

The German club held a 1-0 advantage following the first leg of the semi-final and doubled their lead after Mats Hummels headed in a goal from Julian Brandt’s left-wing corner.

That goal came just after PSG’s Warren Zaire-Emery wasted a chance as he volleyed against the post from close range early in the second half.

The final will be at Wembley on Saturday, June 1 and could be an all-German affair, just as it was in May 2013 when Bayern Munich beat Dortmund 2-1 in London.

Bayern and Real are in the second 2024 semi-final and the first leg ended 2-2 in Germany, with the second leg in Spain on Wednesday.

Dortmund is aiming to become European champions for the second time in its history.

The German team last won the trophy when it defeated Juventus 3-1 in the 1997 final. – May 8, 2024.
