The hour of shock is approaching in Dortmund, where Borussia receives this Tuesday evening PSG. But the Parisian supporters, numbering 3,300 in Signal Iduna Park, have not all arrived in town yet. Particularly part of the ultras, blocked at the border, as explained by the president of the Collectif ultras Paris (CUP) on Twitter in the middle of the afternoon.
"After 5 hours of detention by the German police, in unacceptable conditions, treated like dogs, we leave for Dortmund," writes Romain Mabille on social networks. A version confirmed by representatives of the red and blue club, who underline the "zeal of the local police" on the border between France and Germany. Individual body searches were carried out for all ultras traveling by bus for long hours. They should all be able to reach the Borussia stadium in time for the big game.

Let's not give in to provocation 👌
In addition, all subscribers to the Parc des Princes present this evening in Dortmund have received an email from PSG asking them to avoid provocation and adopt an appropriate attitude. The club is under the threat of a reprieve from UEFA in relation to the behavior of its fans outside and therefore does not want any overflow under penalty of sanction.
In the city, the atmosphere is rather calm. Many supporters arrived in the morning in Dortmund, by train or by plane. Some were also searched by the German police. "They were zealous but they were nice," said a fan he met in a city bar. Some regroupings took place around Dortmund in a relaxed atmosphere.
The 3,300 PSG fans, plus those who have obtained seats through resale sites elsewhere in the stadium, will head for Signal Iduna Park. The kick off of the Champions League 8th final will take place at 9 p.m.
