BORUSSIA DORTMUND pulled off a superb Champions League upset to reach the final for the first time in 11 years.<br/><br/>They will be back at Wembley on Saturday 1 June, where they lost to Bayern Munich in 2013, after downing Paris Saint-Germain.<br/><br/>It ruined Kylian Mbappe’s farewell in France as Jadon Sancho outshone the French superstar again.<br/><br/>Manchester United fans watching on will have felt further humiliation after Monday’s mauling at Crystal Palace watching Sancho cruise into a Champions League final.<br/><br/>Mats Hummels headed home the only goal as Edin Terzic’s side built on the hard-fought first-leg win to dump PSG out and extend their long wait for European success by at least another year.<br/><br/>PSG boss Luis Enrique had revved up the home support while the French press assumed a comeback would be straightforward.<br/><br/>Their ultras in the Virage Auteuil unveiled an elaborate banner ahead of kick-off, depicting a team bus smashing through Dortmund’s Yellow Wall above the message: “We are the army of PSG and nothing can stop us.”<br/><br/>It turns out the fifth-best team in the Bundesliga is all it takes.<br/><br/>The end-to-end theme from the first leg was picked up here, with Mbappe, Karim Adeyemi and then Goncalo Ramos having had their half-chances before Julian Ryerson found the side-netting.<br/><br/>Neither PSG nor Dortmund could quite get a grasp on the action, Ousmane Dembele – who missed a sitter six days earlier – blasted high and wide from close range before Adeyemi drew a fine stop from Gianluigi Donnarumma.<br/><br/>Aside from his volley and a couple of moments of flash footwork, Mbappe had been on the fringes, isolated on the left.<br/><br/>Having been upstaged by Sancho a week ago, many expected the Real Madrid-bound sensation to set the record straight in his home city – but the Englishman was more eye-catching once again.<br/><br/>This was Mbappe’s most important game in seven years at Parc des Princes, a final chance to get a shot at cementing his legacy with a Champions League title before the expected move to La Liga this summer and it fell flat.<br/><br/>There is still a French Cup final against Lyon to be won, but this was the big one.<br/><br/>After a flat first half, PSG had looked to be getting things going in the right direction.<br/><br/>Achraf Hakimi quickly won a corner from which wunderkind Warren Zaire-Emery somehow hit the post with the goal at his mercy from five yards.<br/><br/>Any hope from that quick restart was sucked out of this corner of Paris in 50 minutes.<br/><br/>Marquinhos played an unfortunate back-pass out for a corner and the visitors struck.<br/><br/>Hummels – the only survivor in last night’s starting XI from the 2013 final – was left completely unmarked to meet Julian Brandt’s corner at the far post and head in under Donnarumma.<br/><br/>Terzic quickly sent on veteran Marco Reus, who also played at Wembley 11 years ago, to help see them through before Sule later replaced Sancho.<br/><br/>Just as in the first leg, PSG started to pile up the chances but could not take them.<br/><br/>Ramos twice fired over the bar on either side of
