Borussia Dortmund’s Mats Hummels gives his reaction to the win
“It was intense, but it was fun to play in – and to play in this stadium with these fans,” he told TNT Sports.
“We weren’t perfect, but it’s good to get the result when you’re not playing at your best.
“I’ve never won in Paris, so it’s a good time to try for the first time.
“It’s 90 minutes to the final, and we all want to get there. We are close but not over the finish line.”

Sancho shines
Sancho, who has struggled at Manchester United, shone in the match having returned to Dortmund on loan.
