The second night of semi-final action in this year’s UEFA Champions League continued where the first left off, with a pulsating encounter between Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain at the BVB Stadion.



In a match full of chances for both teams, including Paris hitting both posts in a matter of seconds with shots from Mbappe and Hakimi, Niclas Fullkrug’s sublime first half strike was the difference between the sides as Dortmund secured a slender 1-0 lead in the tie.



Hear how the match unfolded, and from the UEFA Player of the Match Mats Hummels.

Fabulous Fullkrug finish secures Dortmund slender lead

The last four sprang into action this evening with two European heavyweights going head-to-head in Munich. And the match didn’t disappoint with Bayern and Real Madrid playing out a pulsating 2-2 draw, to set up a winner takes all clash in the second leg next week. Madrid struck first with Vinicius Junior putting the 14-time champions in front against the run of play, but Bayern responded in style with two second half goals from Sane and Kane putting the Germans in control. However, a late Vinicius penalty, won by Rodrygo, salvaged a draw for the Spaniards to set up a tantalising second leg tie in Madrid. We hear from Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane and Antonio Rudiger. Plus we look ahead to tomorrow night’s semi-final first leg between Borussia Dortmund and Paris St Germain. 

Bayern held by Madrid in Munich

On a night where it was all to play for across Europe, Madrid and Bayern secured their spots in the final four of the UEFA Champions League.



Nothing could separate Manchester City and Real Madrid after 120 minutes of football, with the match finishing 1-1, 4-4 on aggregate. Andriy Lunin was then the hero in the penalty shoot-out, saving two spot kicks as Los Blancos progressed.



In Germany, a solitary Joshua Kimmich goal was enough to secure a 1-0 win for Bayern on the night against Arsenal, and a 3-2 victory overall in the tie. It’s now the 13th time Bayern have reached the Champions League semi-finals.



We hear from all the key players, including Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Kane from a jubilant Bayern camp and disappointed Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

The quarter-final second legs picked up where the first legs left off with two pulsating drama-filled ties. In Spain, Paris recovered from a goal down to stun 10 man Barcelona 4-1 on the night, and 6-4 on aggregate, in what was yet another action packed encounter between the two sides. Second half goals from Vitinha and two from Kylian Mbappe sealed the Parisians progression to a third Champions semi-final in just five years – we hear from their Portugese midfielder Vitinha. There was yet more drama in the night’s other tie in Germany as Borussia Dortmund also recovered from a first leg deficit to beat Atletico Madrid 4-2 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate to qualify for their first semi-final in 11 years. Late second half goals from Niclas Fullkrug and Marcel Sabitzer won the tie for the Germans to set up a last four showdown with Paris St Germain. We hear from goalscorer Fullkrug and UEFA Player of the Match Julian Brandt.
