While Dortmund emerged victorious, PSG faced a bitter defeat, with Mbappe's farewell overshadowed by the disappointment of an unexpected exit. The semi-final clash served as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the fine margins that separate victory from heartbreak in elite competitions.
