PSG player ratings vs Borussia Dortmund: More Champions League misery for Kylian Mbappe as Ousmane Dembele and Goncalo Ramos fluff their lines in pathetic semi-final exit

Luis Enrique's side huffed and puffed at Parc des Princes but couldn't find a way past the visitors' Yellow Wall

Kylian Mbappe slumped to yet another dramatic Champions League exit, with the misfiring forwards around him partially to blame as PSG lost 1-0 to an organised Borussia Dortmund side in the Champions League semi-final.

Mats Hummels' second half goal, combined with a glut of Parisian misses, handed the visitors a 2-0 aggregate win and a spot in the final for the first time since 2013.

The Parisians had the best chance of the early goings, Ousmane Dembele blasting over after a fluid counter-attack. Dortmund could have taken the lead soon after, but a strong hand from Gianluigi Donnarumma denied Karim Adeyemi.

Warren Zaire-Emery should have given his side the lead early in the second half, but smashed an effort off the post from close range. The visitors capitalised on his miss, Hummels heading home from a corner to double Dortmund's lead on aggregate.

Nuno Mendes came within inches of pulling one back, but cracked his effort off the post from outside the box. He wasn't the only one to come close. Mbappe and Vitinha both hit the woodwork as Dortmund held on - and sent PSG to another embarrassing European exit.

GOAL rates PSG's players from Parc des Prince...

Goalkeeper & Defence

Gianluigi Donnarumma (6/10):

Made an impressive diving stop to deny Adeyemi. Could do nothing about the goal.

Achraf Hakimi (7/10):

Scampered down the right with regularity, whipped in some nice crosses. Couldn't ask much more of him, really.

Marquinhos (7/10):

Very good at the back for long stretches, and handled Niclas Fullkrug effectively.

Lucas Beraldo (5/10):

A bit uneasy at the back from the youngster - who was caught out of position on occasion.

Nuno Mendes (6/10):

Engaged in an enthralling battle with Jadon Sancho. Unlucky to crack one off the post.

Midfield

Warren Zaire-Emery (6/10):

Really impressive in the middle of the park, but he will rue a very poor miss after the break.

Fabian Ruiz (6/10):

Covered a lot of ground, but didn't offer the punch or thrust the Parisians needed on the night.

Vitinha (8/10):

The driving force in midfield when he had the ball. Played some incisive passes and kept the ball moving.

Attack

Ousmane Dembele (4/10):

Blasted one over in the first half, missed again in the second, but spent the rest of the game turning his man inside out - which is kind of his thing. Needs to take his chances.

Goncalo Ramos (4/10):

Missed a few good chances after the break. Not his finest evening following a good run in the side.

Kylian Mbappe (6/10):

Dangerous throughout, but was admittedly well marshalled by the Dortmund backline. Saw a certain goal denied by an excellent intervention from Hummels.

Subs & Manager

Marco Asensio (5/10):

Ineffective in a central role.

Bradley Barcola (6/10):

Offered some energy after his introduction.

Lee Kang-In (N/A):

Energetic and made things happen. Brought on too late.

Luis Enrique (3/10):

Made some interesting tactical choices, bringing Ramos in and sticking with the same midfield that lost the first leg. The Parisians created a lot, but simply couldn't finish on the night. He suffered the same fate as so many before him.
