Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to watch every game anywhere in the world. Borussia Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final clash.

There were plenty of chances in the match, but Nicolas Fulkrug scored the only goal in the first half after a counter attack.

Germany beat Atletico Madrid 5-3 in the quarter-finals to book their place in the last four.

Paris avenged a 3-2 home loss to Barcelona by beating them 4-1 in Spain.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid tied 2-2 in the other semi-final on Tuesday.

The roof of the Westfalenstadion was blown off as the final whistle blew! Both coaches Edin Terzic and Luis Enrique hugged each other and were on the verge of laughing after watching a wonderfully entertaining first leg.

Dortmund sat in a line in front of the Yellow Wall and were immersed in the celebrations. But how did it end 1-0? Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi scored off the inside of both posts in the space of ten seconds; Ousmane Dembele scored when it was surely easier to score.

Nicolas Fulkrug, on the other hand, was pushed from behind by Nuno Mendes and should have had a penalty, while the electric Jadon Sancho set up Julian Brandt for a second, but Marquinhos came out of nowhere with a block to make it spectacular.

Cast-iron fun from start to finish… and all this without mentioning Fulkrug’s goal, the ball delicately plucked from the air and dispatched with venom. The second leg in Paris next week promises to be spectacular.
