When the Champions League final takes place in London on June 1, CONFIDENT Parisians have already begun blocking off Eurostar trains.
However, after falling to an incredible score from journeyman striker Nicklas Fullkrug in the first leg, PSG supporters will need their squad to play far better in the second match.
Instead, a rematch of the 2013 final between Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the national stadium is still a possibility. Jadon Sancho was excellent tonight, therefore he might go to Wembley.

Jadon Sancho was in sparkling form for Dortmund
It is the third time the two sides have met in the Champions League this season and the first that ended in victory to Dortmund.
The German side now have to travel to Paris where they lost 2-0 in the group stage earlier this season, with goals from Mbappe and Hakimi.
Edin Terzic’s team kept a valuable clean sheet despite riding their luck in the second half, though Kylian Mbappe will probably be on a mission at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
It was hard to hear Premier League referee Anthony Taylor’s whistle as Dortmund’s infamous yellow wall was raising its voice. Taylor did a respectable job of calling penalties for PSG’s diving.
Regarding the other English player on the field, Sancho appeared to be a different player than the one who appeared to have lost interest in the game while playing for Manchester United.
Although Fullkrug was the match’s hero with his brilliant goal in the 36th minute, the on-loan winger was outstanding and a continual threat down the right.
Fullkrug held off Lucas Hernandez with a strong first touch, controlled Nico Schlotterbeck’s long punt with a deft first touch, and then defeated Donnarumma with sheer might.
PSG astonishingly struck the woodwork twice in a 30-second span thanks to Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi.
However, Fullkrug squandered a clear opportunity to give Dortmund the advantage after Sancho made yet another incredible move down the right.
