    Dortmund are coming; slowly, but definitely. Hazard does really to skate after Bernat, robbing him, turning, and driving a low shot just past the near post. He had options, and should probably have used one.
    40'
    Neymar chases back - that's awfully kind of him - and the PSG bench go wild.
    38'
    Dortmund are improving, Sancho finding space on the left and pulling a shot towards the near post that Navas saves easily enough.

    ...Sancho gets it up and over the wall, but his shot is straight at Navas.
    35'
    We've seen very little of Sancho so far, but after Hazard finds him, he drops a shoulder, nips across Paredes, and wears the inevitable foul. Free-kick Dortmund, 30 yards out, just left of centre; it'd take something remarkable to beat Navas from here, but Sancho is going to try...
    34'
    Dortmund look a little livelier now, pressing higher up the pitch.
    33'
    It's not going especially well for him at the moment, but he's still a brilliant player. If Tuchel can get him peaking, PSG will be a big threat, assuming the competition actually finishes.
    31'
    Dortmund can on longer allow this game to pootle along. They need to up the pace and intensity, because PSG can go all night with it like this.

    GOAL! PSG (2) 1-0 (2) Borussia Dortmund (Neymar) Di Maria swerves a nasty cross into the six-yard box and Neymar attacks it with a diving header - really! - as Hakimi waves a shoulder from behind him; that's a well-taken finish, but miserable defending. PSG lead on away goals!
    27'
    PSG win a free-kick outside the box which Di Maria curves into it ..., and a stray head means it's a corner...
    26'
    That wasn't an awful finish, but as a striker, you're waiting for precisely that opportunity and missing it is a tremendous oversight.

    OH EDINSON! The game's biggest big-game bottler - along with Gonzalo Higuain, obviously - is sent through by Di Maria! But, at inside-right, he drills low and hard for the far post, only to allow Navas to extend a foot and save!
    24'
    Di Maria does well to catch up with Sarabia's pass, putting it through Zagadou's legs on the by-line and hurling himself to the ground. No foul says the ref.
    22'
    Hazard stretches down the left and curves a low cross towards Haaland, but Kimpembe - who's got unfinished business with this stage of the competition - does brilliantly to slide in and take the ball away. A mistake there and that was a goal.
    21'
    This game is so slow. On the one hand, that's not how Dortmund like to play; on the other, it means they're risking nothing thus far.
    20'
    Can was a really clever signing for Dortmund, adding stability, personality and know-how to a team not renowned for that. If they do this, he'll be a big part of the reason why.

    Hakimi goes down the right and crosses, but Haaland can't connect so Guerreiro retrieves and clips to Sancho, on the edge of the box; he swings a leg at the volley, dragging a foot or two wide.

    Have you ever turned up to a party and been the first person to arrive? This is like that. It's eerie.
    18'
    PSG win a corner, which Neymar whips to the front post where none of his team-mates are. Haaland heads clear.
    15'
    I wonder what kind of study you'd do to work out the impact of a crowd on a game of football. There just isn't any intensity here, or maybe there is and it seems like there isn't. In the meantime, Haaland tries to liven things up, chasing back after he loses the ball and running through Paredes.
    12'
    Zagadou sticks Hazard away down the right - Sancho is on the left for now - but Kimpembe races across to unload him.
