PSG vs Borussia Dortmund Champions League semi-final ends in an unpleasant result for Ukraine

Borussia Dortmund became the first finalist in the Champions League draw for the 2023/24 season. The German team shocked France by beating Paris Saint-Germain twice with the same score of 1-0, shattering the opponent's dreams of winning the most prestigious European club trophy for the first time in history.

This result was very unpleasant for Ukraine. The fact is that Shakhtar Donetsk, if wins the Premier League, has every chance of qualifying for the next Champions League draw without going through qualification. To do this, the Miners need a team that has already booked a place in the European tournament through the national championship to win it.

Borussia Dortmund is the only CL semifinalist this season to finish outside the top 4 in their league. The Dortmund side is in fifth place and is three points behind the CL zone with three rounds to go. This means that if they fail to improve their position and defeat either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the Champions League final, Shakhtar will have to participate in the European Cup qualifiers.

We would like to remind you that the format of the Champions League will change significantly from the new season. Now the teams will not be divided into groups, they will play eight matches with different opponents in the first stage, and the points will be recorded in the overall table.
