\n

Borussia Dortmund will compete in their first Champions League semi-final in over a decade on Wednesday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their previous appearance in the last four was hugely significant, with their mauling of Jose Mourinho\u2019s Real Madrid in 2013 depicting European football\u2019s power shit away from Spanish supremacy to ruthless German\u00a0gegenpressing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Stylistic contrasts are less distinct 11 years on, although Dortmund will be facing up against a Barcelona graduate who typifies post-Cruyffianism in PSG boss Luis Enrique. Edin Terzic, however, is no Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n

Dortmund have endured an indifferent domestic campaign and are unlikely to secure Champions League football for next season via their Bundesliga performance. However, a stirring second leg triumph over\u00a0Atletico Madrid\u00a0means they are deserving semi-finalists, and they\u2019ll be facing a\u00a0PSG\u00a0side that they lost and drew to in the group stages for a place at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Dortmund could line up for Wednesday\u2019s first leg on home soil.<\/p>\n

Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs PSG (4-2-3-1)<\/h2>\n
\"Borussia<\/figure>\n

Marcel Sabitzer was Dortmund\u2019s quarter-final hero \/ J\u00fcrgen Fromme \u2013 firo sportphoto\/GettyImages<\/p>\n

GK: Gregor Kobel \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Dortmund\u2019s number one has enjoyed another fine season, and he\u2019s a shoo-in to start on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

RB: Julian Ryerson \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0A Duracell bunny down the right flank, Ryerson might have the task of slowing down Kylian Mbappe in Dortmund.<\/p>\n

CB: Mats Hummels \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The veteran defender has played every minute of BVB\u2019s Champions League campaign thus far. He\u2019ll need to produce a vintage performance over these two legs to aid his side\u2019s chances of progression.<\/p>\n

CB: Nico Schlotterbeck \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The experienced Niklas Sule is an option for Terzic, but Schlotterbeck has been preferred alongside Hummels and that\u2019s unlikely to change on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

LB: Ian Maatsen \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The Chelsea loanee is carrying a knock, but he should be fine for the first leg. Maatsen scored during Dortmund\u2019s 4-2 victory over Atletico which helped them into the last four.<\/p>\n

CM: Emre Can\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Terzic\u2019s Swiss Army knife has settled into a midfield role where he functions as Dortmund\u2019s enforcer. He\u2019ll have his work cut out against a technically majestic PSG engine room.<\/p>\n

CM: Marcel Sabitzer \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0PSG would likely be preparing for Diego Simeone\u2019s dark arts if it wasn\u2019t for Sabitzer. The Austrian midfielder inspired\u00a0Dortmund\u00a0during the second half of their quarter-final second leg against Atleti, scoring and assisting in the 4-2 win.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

RM: Jadon Sancho \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Sancho\u2019s stunning opener was quickly forgotten at the weekend as RB Leipzig eventually battered BVB 4-1 to boost their chances of\u00a0Champions League\u00a0qualification. The Englishman has certainly flickered his brilliance since returning to the club on loan in January.<\/p>\n

AM: Julian Brandt \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The slick German operates as Dortmund\u2019s key link man in transition. Brandt has a huge role to play against a PSG side that will aim to dominate possession but surrender counter-attacking opportunities.<\/p>\n

LM: Karim Adeyemi \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Like Brandt, Adeyemi has a huge role to play on the counter. We could see a lightning-quick duel between the German and PSG\u2019s Achraf Hakimi.<\/p>\n

ST: Niclas Fullkrug \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0With Sebastien Haller out, Fullkrug starts up top by default. The German is far from prolific, but he\u2019ll help Dortmund get up the pitch as a result of his hold-up play.<\/p>\n
