Borussia Dortmund head to the Parc des Princes to face PSG in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League. A win would provide the perfect farewell for Reus.
Match Overview
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund beat Augsburg comfortably 5-1 despite fielding a heavily rotated side ahead of their Champions League second leg tie. Youngster Kjell Wätjen impressed with an asisst during his debut, and the departing Marco Reus also scored.
Edin Terzić made ten changes for the weekend's game against Augsburg, with only goalkeeper Gregor Kobel retaining his spot in the starting eleven.
Borussia Dortmund are essentially a one-competition team this season due to their failure to make any sort of progress in the Bundesliga. This Champions League campaign is by far the most important aspect of their season.
Niclas Füllkrug, the club's top scorer in the competition with four goals, scored the only in their 1-0 home win against the strongest side from France.
BVB have made the final in two of their three previous semi-final encounters, with their last set of semis ending in a Wembley final in 2013.
Ahead of the game against the Parisian giants, Dortmund coach Terzić said: "We hadn't really found ourselves yet. We lacked courage in many areas. In the two games in Dortmund, we then showed that we can play very differently against PSG."
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain have wrapped up Ligue 1 early, despite having made hard work of the French division throughout some previous years.
Having not played last weekend, PSG should be fresh from last week's humbling defeat at the Signal-Iduna Park.
Kylian Mbappe, PSG's main star (who will depart in the summer) has scored twenty-six in Ligue 1 this campaign and has scored an enormous 48 goals in the Champions League.
Before the game, the Parisian's coach, Luis Enrique said: "Dortmund will press high, so there will be space between the lines. We want to find our best players in the areas where they are dangerous."
