Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 8
Paris Saint-Germain wins: 2
Draws: 3
Dortmund wins: 3
French giants Paris Saint-Germain and German titans Borussia Dortmund have not been the most frequent of foes in European competition - only squaring off eight times - and the head-to-head counter is relatively even.
Indeed, BVB have claimed three victories compared to two for Les Parisiens - while another three have ended all square - but two of those triumphs for the men in black and yellow sent them through to the 2023-24 final.
Niclas Fullkrug's crisp finish gave Dortmund their first-leg win over the French champions, but the 1-0 scoreline was not at all reflective of the frenetic action on the Westfalenstadion field, as PSG let fly 14 times but only found the target with five of those attempts.
Profligacy also reared its ugly head for PSG on home soil, where Mats Hummels nodded in the only goal of the contest to seal a 2-0 aggregate success for BVB, before their Real Madrid-inflicted heartbreak in the final.
Prior to their semi-final showdown, Dortmund also held PSG to a 1-1 draw at the Signal Iduna Park in the 2023-24 group stage, but Les Parisiens were 2-0 victors earlier in the tournament thanks to strikes from Achraf Hakimi and Kylian Mbappe.
Just before the COVID-19 pandemic brought football to a standstill, Neymar and Juan Bernat were on target during an identical PSG success in the 2019-20 last 16, after Dortmund won the first leg of that last-16 tie 2-1 on home turf.
Before locking horns in the Champions League, PSG and Dortmund's inaugural showdowns came in the group phase of the 2010-11 Europa League, where the maiden meeting saw Nuri Sahin and Clement Chantome strike in a 1-1 draw in Germany; a goalless stalemate followed in Paris.
Of the 13 goals scored in this meeting to date, Neymar and Erling Haaland sit atop the pile with two each, while young stars Karim Adeyemi and Warren Zaire-Emery have also made the net ripple.
