PSG take on Dortmund in the first game of Champions League Group F on Tuesday, 19th of September, at Parc des Princes, at 20:00 PM (BST).
The last time these two sides faced, was in 2020, in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. PSG beat Dortmund 3-2 over the two legs, to progress to the Quarter Final of the competition that season.
PSG lost their last Ligue One outing, losing 3-2 to Nice. A Kylian Mbappe brace was not enough for PSG, as a Terem Moffi brace and Gaetan Laborde goal secured three points for Nice at the Parc des Princes.
Dortmund won their last game, beating Freiburg 4-2 in the Bundesliga. Freiburg were leading 2-1 at halftime with goals from Lucas Holer and Nicolas Hofler for Freiburg and a goal for Mats Hummels for Dortmund. Then Dortmund went on to get back in the game through a Donyell Malen goal, before late winners from Mats Hummels (88th minute) and Marco Reus (92nd minute) secured the victory and the points.
