The German team secured a 1-0 victory in the first leg, followed by another win with the same scoreline in Paris, courtesy of a powerful header by Mats Hummels from a corner in the first half. This 2-0 aggregate win propelled them to the final at Wembley, where they will face the challenge of either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, who will compete in the other semi-final on Wednesday evening.

Previously, Dortmund and PSG clashed in 2020 in the last 16 of the Champions League after Dortmund advanced from a tough group stage. Haaland, then playing for Dortmund, scored twice in a 2-1 home win. His celebration, labeled ‘Zensational win,’ drew attention from PSG.

In the return leg, PSG staged a comeback at the Parc des Princes, advancing 3-2 on aggregate. Neymar mimicked Haaland’s celebration after scoring, and the entire PSG team taunted Dortmund with the ‘Zen’ celebration after eliminating them.

Dortmund’s social media team responded after Tuesday’s victory with a post saying, “Tastes like fine wine.”

Dortmund will now prepare for the final showdown at Wembley in June, potentially against arch-rivals Bayern Munich, provided they overcome Real Madrid in the semi-final. This match would evoke memories of the 2013 final, where Jurgen Klopp led Dortmund to the final only to suffer a heartbreaking defeat to Bayern Munich.
