Match went to penalties, but in the end Dortmund eliminated PSG (of Housni, Gharbi and Mbappe), who had been free scoring until now, with the first two players mentioned had scored 9 and 6 goals respectively.
Gharbi was the more disappointing one for me, seemed slow and weak at times, and not so clever with the ball. Surprisingly bad first touch too. Although Gharbi and Housni did contribute in the build-up of the PSG goal (which was a failed shot in itself) . They showed some promising movement too and ability to find each other. Housni seemed willing to put in pressing work for his team but eventually missed the deciding penalty with a poor effort, being the tenth and last PK taker (everyone else had scored before him).
Mbappe was largely a passenger in the midfield, often static and didn't influence the proceedings much at all. Couldn't spot any outstanding qualities from him. Some of the contrasts of the PSG team were funny, they had big 190+ cm tall CBs and 140 cm full backs who looked like 14 year olds (one of them was sent off).
Bamba looked like the most lively Dortmund offensive player, scoring their goal after a good run.
