Borussia Dortmund 1 PSG 0: Man Utd outcast Sancho has one foot in Champions League final as Mbappe woe continues

CONFIDENT Parisiens have already been block-booking Eurostar trains for the Champions League final in London on June 1.

Yet PSG’s fans will need their team to deliver a much better performance in the second leg as they lost to a terrific strike from journeyman striker Nicklas Fullkrug.

Instead, it could be Jadon Sancho going to Wembley - and he was outstanding here - as a repeat of the 2013 final at the national stadium between Dortmund and Bayern Munich remains a possibility.

Although they rode their luck in the second half, Edin Terzic’s side delivered a precious clean sheet although Kylian Mbappe is likely to be on a mission at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.

With Dortmund’s famous yellow wall in full voice, it was difficult to hear the whistle of Premier League referee Anthony Taylor who actually did a decent job and cracked down on PSG’s diving.

As for the other Englishman on the pitch, Sancho looked a different player to the one who seemed as though he had fallen out of love with football at Manchester United.

The on-loan winger was superb, a constant menace down the right, although Fullkrug was the goal hero with his 36th-minute cracker.

Fullkrug delivered an exquisite first touch to control a long punt by Nico Schlotterbeck, he used his strength to hold off Lucas Hernandez and then beat Donnarumma with raw power.

Incredibly, PSG hit the woodwork twice in the space of 30 seconds through Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi

Yet Fullkrug missed a sitter to put Dortmund in control of the tie after another stunning run down the right by Sancho.

It is the third time the two sides have met in the Champions League this season and the first that ended in victory to Dortmund.

The German side now have to travel to Paris where they lost 2-0 in the group stage earlier this season, with goals from Mbappe and Hakimi.
