Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain face a season defining UEFA Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund on May 7.

The Parisians slipped to a 1-0 defeat in their semi final first leg as the Bundesliga side take a key lead into the return battle.

PSG are still strongly tipped to progress to the final with Mbappe leading their attack.

Mbappe has consistently indicated his desire to win a first ever Champions League for PSG ahead of his expected summer move to Real Madrid.

PSG have already clinched the Ligue 1 title, alongside a spot in the French Cup final, and Mbappe is quietly confident ahead of a huge night in Paris.

“We feel the pressure, but the group is extremely calm. We’re confident and certain we’re going to reach the final”, as per quotes from Mundo Deportivo.

PSG have only made it to one Champions League final their history with the French superpower losing out to Bayern Munich in the 2020 showpiece.

Bayern Munich could be their opponent in the 2024 final if they get past Real Madrid in the opposing semi final.
