• 1-0 in Dortmund. Narration and statistics

Erling Haaland is a 19-year-old boy who has scored 11 goals in his first seven games with Borussia Dortmund. And if the former admitted perhaps the asterisk of occurring in the context of goals against generally smaller teams, the two of Tuesday admit no more added than that of applause. The always unsatisfied megalomania of the PSG ran into the footballer of the moment, an incredible forward who threatens to sign the fourth consecutive elimination of the Parisians in the eighth of the Champions League. It is not 2-1 the worst result in the world for those of Tuchel, but in addition to the defeat they left Dortmund with a soul slab that revives old and terrifying ghosts.

The result rewarded Favre's approach, also winning his tactical battle with Tuchel. The Parisian ball circulation lacked the speed necessary to intimidate a Borussia who played cat and mouse, some times pressing up and others waiting in the center of the field. Only Neymar brought some flash, almost always blown off by the passivity of Mateu Lahoz, more prone to the Brazilian with the Brazilian than to admonish those who sent him to the ground.

It did not seem to favor the PSG 3-4-3 arranged by Tuchel - sacrificing Icardi- as an imitation of the traditional scheme of his rival. The French team, too predictable, was splitting too much, favoring the outings against Dortmund, who enjoyed the best chances in the first half. In fact, it was Keylor Navas who is directly responsible for keeping the score unchanged at rest.

Seeing that the beast was not as dangerous as it seemed, the Dortmund returned from changing rooms putting one more march to the encounter through Achraf and Sancho, finding Verratti as the main obstacle towards the goal. After five minutes of effusivity, yes, the waters returned to their previous channel, with greater Parisian dominance.

And just when Tuchel's seemed more intoned, with Mbappé finally appearing with two good shots, Dortmund dealt the first blow of the tie. It happened in a play at full speed that ended with a shot by Guerreiro in the area entangled by several rebounds. The last one was hacked by Haaland who, in a state of grace, sent him to the bottom of the Navas network. Neymar gave the reply right away, drawing after a great individual play by Mbappé, but Haaland was already unleashed.

With Gio Reyna (17 years old) as an ally that emerged from the bench, he exhibited his power in the shot culminating a backlash with wild violence. And although there is a great battle open in the Park of the Princes, this tie will be remembered already by the confirmation that Haaland is incredible.
