Dortmund stuns PSG, advances to Champions League final

Hummels' goal lifts Bundesliga side to 1-0 victory in Paris

Mbappe's last Champions League appearance ends in disappointment

Borussia Dortmund pulled off a stunning upset on Tuesday, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at the Parc des Princes to advance to the Champions League final. Mats Hummels' goal in the 77th minute was the difference, as Dortmund held on for a 2-0 aggregate victory.

The victory was a major blow to PSG, who were heavy favorites to reach the final. The French champions had won the first leg of the semifinal 2-1 at home, but they were unable to find a way past Dortmund's resolute defense in the second leg.

Dortmund's victory was all the more impressive considering that they were without their star striker, Erling Haaland. The Norwegian forward was injured in the first leg, and his absence was a major blow to Dortmund's attack.

However, Dortmund's other forwards stepped up in Haaland's absence. Julian Brandt and Thorgan Hazard both had chances to score in the first half, and Hummels finally broke the deadlock in the second half.

Dortmund's victory was a major upset, but it was also a well-deserved one. The German side were the better team over the two legs, and they ultimately deserved to advance to the final.
