@neumi17 Yes, but not from a a player trying to score that way. I din't make those rules tho.
They got some funny ones for when a shot is and is not on target as well : )
from Opta :
" When the ball hits any part of the Goal frame but does not enter the net as a direct consequence.
Any single attempt hitting the Goal frame multiple times (bar then post for example), will only count as hitting the woodwork once. ‘Hit Woodwork’ is only collected for the attacking team and can be attributed to any player on the pitch."
Finishing was awful but Dortmund seemed solid enough of a team that they could win in Paris. Is PSG usually this bad? (this season) It looks like multiple teams now have figured out how to mark Mbappe.
Kudos to UEFA for setting up such a lame path to the final. Seriously, who allowed teams such as Dortmund, PSG, Atletico and even Barcelona in their current state to compete for a place in the final?
@DanInter Seriously, there was even a forward who headed the ball backwards instead of towards the net. Forget who it was but to be fair they all suck at headers. Usually when you miss a big chance you get punished for it later. Great save by Kobel towards the end, that was worth a goal.
@SJP14 Not a bad idea, Kane might finally win a trophy and Dortmund will want revenge on Bayern. I imagine everybody in Germany who isn't a fan of Bayern is happy they finally lost the league and it would be even better to see them lose the CL too.
@Sputnik you must have a crystal ball that tells you what NOBODY wants! Or maybe you've been living under a rock where football dreams go to die. Because trust me, if there's one thing fans would line up for, it's a rematch of that legendary 2013 UCL Final between Bayern and Dortmund. But hey, if you're content living in a world of missed opportunities and dull football fantasies, who are we to burst your bubble?"
Stupid idiot
@Sputnik "absolutely nobody" " Dortmund has exactly 0 % chance of winning in Paris" .
You seem like a person with an IQ matching your age, and being an obnoxious little kid
If this would be the 2nd leg and you asked me before game if Dortmund can qualify or not, I would said yes. Based on what we seen today so far, it's still possible. Bayern getting it done in Madrid on the other hand doesn't seem too likely, unless they play out of their mind and RM has a surprising off day.
@Ortega_10 it seems your crystal ball is foggy again! Calling Dortmund's journey to the semifinals luck is like saying Messi kicks a ball occasionally. Dortmund earned their spot with skill, determination, and maybe a sprinkle of magic, while PSG might pass through, but only because they've got enough money to buy their way past any obstacle. So, let's not confuse talent with wallet size, shall we?"
BTTS for sure, PSG defence is pretty "meh" for this level, and that's something even a team like Dortmund should exploit, especially at home. PSG as sh.tty as their offensive play is without a proper N9, still should find a goal.
@DanInter I agree, but if Luis Enrique would finally dare to play Ascensio, Mbappe, Gonzalo Ramos, and Dembele up front, PSG would win this game easily: they are all in top form and Dortmund is nowhere near in offensive fire power compared to those four players! Reuss is history, Jadon Sancho is just a shadow of his earlier genius self (I would surely fire my agent in his place, for convincing me to play for Manchester United, the worst team for young talent in the past 10 years), Adeyemi and Brandt are inconsistent. No wonder why Dortmund seems to play so many low scoring games nowadays: it sure appears to take pride in its defensive capabilities instead of his weak offence! Even if Dortmund goes ahead by accident, PSG won't blink even an eye to score couple of goals to win the game!
@Zoltan TBH it's not that I rate Dortmund highly either, but PSG just disappoint you so often, especially when it looks like they are starting to gel as a team. Even in the previous round Barca was overall the better team, and if not for that silly red card, they quite likely would play here today instead. And this false-9 knock off tiki-taka haven't worked well for quite some time either, most of the times you just see PSG get into good positions on the wings and then trying to cross to the non-existent center forward.
@DanInter Well, what did I tell you about Gonzalo Ramos? He is a natural center forward and yet he is sitting on the bench while there is no one who could finish in the centerforward position. That young guy Bradley Barcola is ridiculous in the forward position: he might be good in Ligue 1, but certainly not good enough at this level. Same thing stands for Ascension: natural born attacking midfielder with a tremendous shot from a distance, yet he is sitting on the bench because of the 3 no name midfielders: Warren Zaire Emery, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz. Verdict: Luiz Enrique is a terrible coach - you could bet that he won't make a change at the beginning of the half either when everything calls for multiple changes: PSG has only 3 attempts, 0 on target, and 0 corners, and the coach just sits there on the sideline doing nothing. I can't believe that such coaches can hold up jobs at PSG and other big teams!
@Marbella Why risk so much, when even BTTS would do the same job? Let's remember that neither Terzic, nor Louis Enrique are great coaches, so they are both capable to screw up by drawing against one another in a 1-1 game!
Sancho's shot on the 75th min was deflected on target, how can they call it a blocked shot when the ball went forward to the gk.
@SM5 Because the shot was deflected. PSG had two shots in the metal but only one counted as shots on target as the other one deflected of Sabitzer.
Sancho with the most dribbles in one CL game since Messi in 2008.
@neumi17 * In the knockout stages ...
Dortmund plays football
PSG hit woodwork twice within 10 seconds. How come it only says only once in the stats ?
@neumi17 One of the shots to hit the metal was deflected of a Dortmund player
@Careca So ? It still hit the woodwork
@neumi17 Yes, but not from a a player trying to score that way. I din't make those rules tho. They got some funny ones for when a shot is and is not on target as well : ) from Opta : " When the ball hits any part of the Goal frame but does not enter the net as a direct consequence.

@neumi17 One of the shots in to hit the metal was deflected of a Dortmund player
I expect a few Mbappenalties next week in Paris to fix the result.
Ridiculous that this game didn't end 4-4. Both teams wasted soo many chances ...
Finishing was awful but Dortmund seemed solid enough of a team that they could win in Paris. Is PSG usually this bad? (this season) It looks like multiple teams now have figured out how to mark Mbappe.
@tkr Dortmund have exactly 0% chance of winning in Paris.
sancho is incredible outside the prem
@rabito Sancho is an incredible player outside Manchester
@rabito He's A Mickey Mouse Player
Kudos to UEFA for setting up such a lame path to the final. Seriously, who allowed teams such as Dortmund, PSG, Atletico and even Barcelona in their current state to compete for a place in the final?
@Sputnik What's wrong with that
@SJP14 What's wrong is that none of them are particularly good football teams. That's what's wrong.
@Sputnik Then were are the "better" teams? Answer: already eliminated.
@stuckonautomatic On the other side of the draw. Every team from Real Madrid's path easily eliminates every team from this path.
@Sputnik Says who? Your crystal ball, stupid idiot
@saudes Says football logic.
The missed opportunities this match are quite something. Guess it's one of those nights.
@DanInter Seriously, there was even a forward who headed the ball backwards instead of towards the net. Forget who it was but to be fair they all suck at headers. Usually when you miss a big chance you get punished for it later. Great save by Kobel towards the end, that was worth a goal.
Who's all in favor of a 2013 UCL Final redo between Bayern and Dortmund
@SJP14 Not a bad idea, Kane might finally win a trophy and Dortmund will want revenge on Bayern. I imagine everybody in Germany who isn't a fan of Bayern is happy they finally lost the league and it would be even better to see them lose the CL too.
@SJP14 ABSOLUTELY NOBODY!
@Sputnik you must have a crystal ball that tells you what NOBODY wants! Or maybe you've been living under a rock where football dreams go to die.

@SJP14 just you alone
@abbeycity You make one comment per year and this is what you use it for?
Sports betting revolves around me and I'm on a hot streak. I advise BTTS no Live.

@Ortega_10 Well, at least one side of your prediction was correct.
PSG will pass through, Dortmund reached the semifinals by luck
@Ortega_10 it seems your crystal ball is foggy again! Calling Dortmund's journey to the semifinals luck is like saying Messi kicks a ball occasionally.

@saudes He is right, they are lucky they played Pathetico Madrid. Inter would have wiped the floor with lowly Borussia Dortmund.
I think psg win 3-1 or 4-0
BTTS for sure, PSG defence is pretty "meh" for this level, and that's something even a team like Dortmund should exploit, especially at home. PSG as sh.tty as their offensive play is without a proper N9, still should find a goal.
