That came from the one goal in this tie, that was itself struck by another unfashionable figure in Niclas Fullkrug, but it could have been so many more. It was a 1-0 win for Borussia Dortmund that could have been a 7-6 either way. If PSG are to face disappointment in this competition once again, the Qatari project will look to this tie and wonder how they missed so many opportunities. Then again, they should also wonder how they gave up so many.
Through that, it was a rare game that was actually invigorated by the misses. They added to the raucous scenes in the stands, deepening a ferocious tension. PSG even hit the inside of both posts in the space of a minute. They have a lot to work on before the return at Parc des Princes in six days’ time, but can’t afford to really dwell on any of this. For now, Kylian Mbappe has been bested not by Fullkrug, but by Sancho.
This was one of those games that will just have everyone at Manchester United wondering exactly what has happened. PSG’s Nuno Mendes certainly had that feeling on several occasions. Sancho destroyed him to wreak havoc.
It was just that havoc continued with the finishing – bar that one moment from Fullkrug.
