Update of March 12, 00:50: Lucien Favre had once again chosen a very passive, defensive and reserved tactic in a crucial game in Paris - the wrong decision?

After the defeat in the French capital, the BVB coach gave at least a rather confusing TV interview.

After bankruptcy at PSG: BVB veteran Mats Hummels speaks of "a lot of bad luck"

Update of March 11, 11:40 p.m .: BVB star Mats Hummels answered questions at Sky after the game.

“The game is difficult to grasp. It was a game with few goals. The 0: 2 was a lot of bad luck, deflected, it will never go in otherwise, "said the world champion visibly thoughtfully:" We did not manage to put pressure on the goal. "

Hummels went on to say: “Achraf ( Hakimi, the editor) often came to the right, we also positioned Jadon ( Sancho ), but we had far, far too few chances to score. It wasn't all bad now. The slight ball losses happen. We didn’t manage to put the famous last ball. ”

The veteran was also asked whether the empty stadium had an impact. “It was very strange, but for both teams. The beginning was very, very strange, ”said the 31-year-old central defender:“ Every scream, every pass is understood. That's not that easy. That happens a few weeks now, so everyone has to come to terms with it. ”

The BVB attacker had celebrated his winning goal in the first leg in this pose. That should still cause discussions around the Champions League round of 16 .

The German international Thilo Kehrer has already commented on the scenes against Haaland after the game. "After the first leg, there were a few provocations from the other side," said the 23-year-old central defender, who was once under contract with FC Schalke, at Sky : "I still have Schalke in my heart, so I was extra motivated. As ex-Schalke to wipe out the Dortmunders ... ”, he said and grinned towards the cabin.

Update from March 11, 11:15 p.m .: Giant cheers at PSG : After the game ended, the players ran onto a grandstand or its outside area to celebrate with an estimated one thousand fans (according to Sky) in front of the Prinzenpark.

These had already started fireworks in rows during the game and had also started singing fan songs from the outside.

Borussia Dortmund failed in the round of 16 of the Champions League

90th minute + 6: The game is over! Borussia Dortmund leaves the Champions League after a very poor performance in Paris.

90th minute + 4: Yellow card against Marquinhos (PSG).

90th minute + 3: Two more minutes in the Prinzenpark.

90th minute + 2: Change at PSG: Kouassi for Paredes.

90th minute: Again for classification. Can had shoved something at Neymar, looked at something angrily. But the Brazilian falls - once again - like a butterfly. This should again lead to plenty of discussions.

89 minutes: Yellow cards against Neymar and di Maria, who is sitting on the bench.

89 minutes: Red card against Can (BVB)!

88th Minute: Bad pack formation now on the sidelines and in the coaching zone. What's going on here? Marquinhos and Can in the middle! Tuchel also comes and Navas storms out of his gate.

87th minute: Change at BVB: Götze comes into play for Hakimi. Does it bring anything else?

85th Minute: Neymar and the Parisians get a free kick out. You are obviously now taking time off the clock.

82 minutes: Again and again ball losses, now on both sides. Let's go BVB, here's something!

80th Minute: Two corners in a row for BVB, but it is not mandatory enough. The game is still open - and the chance for the quarter-finals for Dortmund is alive. But there has to be a goal.

79 minutes: Change at PSG: Tuchel brings another defender with Kurzawa, di Maria is pumped out.

77 minutes: Burns dangerously! Youngster Reyna hangs up for the German international, whose shot is maliciously deflected. The ball lands on the goal net.

75 minutes: Can hit the ball far over the Paris goal. After all, something is coming from BVB. Again: a goal, and Borussia force extra time.

71 'Now it's getting more offensive:

◀ ️ #Witsel
▶ ️ # Reyna # PSGBVB 2: 0

- Borussia Dortmund (@BVB) March 11, 2020

73 minutes: End of Dortmund. But this shot goes clearly next to the right post.

71 minutes: Change at BVB: The motto at Borussia Dortmund is now a full offensive. With the only 17-year-old Reyna, another striker is on the pitch.

Favre takes full risk and changes veteran Witsel, who remained completely pale today. You have to say: PSG plays anything but outstanding today.

70th Minute: Hakimi is not in the game at all. Again, a flank from the far right comes too far. His passers also do not find the teammate.

69 minutes: Change at BVB: Favre changes Brandt for the offensive. For Hazard, the working day on the square is over.

67.Minute: Yellow card against Bernat (PSG): The ex-Bavarian places Hakimi on the right.

PSG - BVB in the live ticker: Tuchel brings Mbappé into play

63 minutes: Change at PSG: Tuchel lets superstar and world champion Mbappé run.

61.Minute: Yellow card against Hummels (BVB): Clear foul from the world champion, who immediately fairly tells the referee. Did he want to set an example? The defense against the CL-Aus is currently evaporating again.

55.Minute: Di Maria with a rich conclusion for Paris. Watch out now! Dortmund will not, they will not ...

53.Minute: There are still hair-raising mistakes in the Dortmund game structure. So it will be nothing with the 1: 2 and the extra time.

50th minute: Sancho remains battered after a tackle. But it goes on for the Englishman.

A first half to forget. Positive: nothing lost! #PSGBVB pic.twitter.com/0aVuSZn4rl

- Borussia Dortmund (@BVB) March 11, 2020

48.Minute: BVB is good and wild from the break, puts PSG under pressure.

46 minutes: It continues in the Prinzenpark to Paris.

Half-time conclusion: Borussia Dortmund obviously cannot cope with the ghostly backdrop. PSG is superior in all respects and dominates this game without shining.

At BVB, there is no train from the start to the goal, which should also have something to do with Favre's timid tactics. Haaland is not a factor at all in this game. And in the back, the Westphalian show themselves vulnerable to Parisians who are quick to think.

Dortmund is currently out of the Champions League. Anything else?

45th minute + 3: break in Paris! Borussia Dortmund currently needs a goal for extra time.

45th minute + 1: goal! Paris Saint-Germain - Borussia Dortmund 2: 0, scorer: Bernat. Very badly defended, negligent downright. Since the Borussia only run alongside.

Loss of ball in the game structure, the quick pass to the right and the sharp cross. Nobody, really nobody, is with Bernat who deflects the ball into the far corner. Bürki has no chance.

43.Minute: Uhhhhhhh ... Foul by Haaland! Then the youngster extends his elbow clearly, he already has yellow. But referee Taylor, an Englishman, doesn't send him off the pitch. Lucky.

42.Minute: In the parallel game, Liverpool FC took a 1-0 lead against Atlético Madrid. So in this duel after the 1-0 of the Spaniards in the first leg 1: 1 - everything is open. Wijnaldum made the goal for the English.

Close duel: PSG against BVB.

40.Minute: conclusion of Hazard: The Belgian pulls the ball flat past the left post. The protests of the colleagues immediately come to play the ball better inside.

How you can hear it all at once, without any spectators, insanity ...

PSG -BVB in the live ticker: First Dortmund chance through Sancho

38.Minute: Dortmund can now swim freely. Sancho comes to the left, goes to the baseline and pulls from a short angle - but no problem for Keeper Navas.

38th minute: "Allez, allez, allez", Tuchel roars from his coaching zone. He wants his Parisians to press again.

35.Minute: Dortmund makes several ball losses in this phase. PSG is significantly better in the game. BVB has to come up with something, take more initiative. As things stand, the French would be in the quarter-finals.

32nd minute: "Line, line," shouts Mats Hummels. It can be heard clearly via the external microphones. It takes some getting used to ...

In front of the stadium: fireworks at Prinzenpark.

30 minutes: In front of the stadium, the PSG fans of course ignite fireworks again. They are in a good mood, even if they are not allowed in.

28 minutes: Goal! Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Borussia Dortmund, scorer: Neymar. The setback for BVB! At one corner of the French, the Westphalia completely fall asleep.

At the second post, Neymar comes flying with a flying header and pushes the ball behind the line. But that was also poorly defended. Plain and simple...

25 minutes: Giant chance for PSG: Cavani is through after a pass through the alley and pulls tight. But Bürki steers the ball around the post with his toes. That was close!

22nd minute: dangerous! BVB makes the game quick. Kimpembe spied a flat ball on Haaland in the five-meter space in front of the Norwegian.

20th minute: The BVB dangerous! Cross from the right, but then Haaland is disturbed. Guerreiro comes to the ball, puts in the back room on Sancho, who warps.

PSG - BVB in the live ticker: 5,000 Paris fans stand in front of the Prinzenpark

18. Minute: And again the fans ignite a firework. So outside is more spectacle than in the wide area - Borussia Dortmund can be right. The Westphalia won the first leg.

16.Minute: Now you've heard them, the brave PSG fans in front of the stadium. According to Sky, there should be up to 5,000. And they tune in more fan songs. Respect!

14.Minute: PSG plays pressing, tries to force BVB to lose the ball. It works rather semi. Borussia obviously has the motto to withdraw and wait for a counterattack. Now the long ball on Haaland - the ball does not arrive.

12.Minute: Interesting: As a spectator you can hear the teams talking to each other properly and how they criticize the referee.

9.Minute: According to Sky , Uefa has apparently forbidden the Parisians to let fan songs run over the sound system. The corona virus and its consequences also cause confusion and problems here. Did you see that, my dear!?!?

PSG - BVB in the live ticker: Paris fans ignite fireworks

7th minute: soccer is also played. Paris tries to attack, comes via Bernat on the left. But a cross is blocked on the second post. Dortmund begins to behave cautiously in the quiet atmosphere.

5th minute: What's going on here? Fan chants in the empty stadium? But these are actually not the Paris fans behind the stands who continue to ignite fireworks.

According to Sky , the stadium direction apparently played fan songs over the loudspeakers. Completely strange!

2nd minute: Look here! The assembled fans of PSG have set off a large firework display behind the Prinzenpark. Does that please the police (also) gathered at the stadium?

It was always good to look at - and peaceful.

1st minute: Let's start in Paris!

8:50 p.m .: Ghost game inside, mood outside.
