FT Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Borussia Dortmund [0-2 on agg.] A brutally unlucky game from PSG today, but also one with plenty of mistakes!


[OptaJean] 12 - Paris have the hit the woodwork 12 times in the Champions League this season, with half of these coming against Borussia Dortmund. It's the highest tally for any team on record in a single edition of the competition (since 2003-04). Frustration.



[James Benge] 3.22 xG - PSG’s 30 shots saw them register the highest xG tally without scoring in a Champions League match in nearly five years, since Napoli against Genk in October 2019. PSG had 4.92 xG across the semifinal without scoring.
