A short-lived joy. In a high-class action in the 77th minute, with a cross call full of flair and a millimeter pass from Achraf Hakimi, Kylian Mbappé beat Gregor Kobel with a dry cross shot and thought he had given PSG the advantage back in an extremely tense match against Borussia Dortmund. In the end, it didn’t happen.

After intervention by the video referees, who did not even ask the central referee Glenn Nyberg to see the images, Kylian Mbappé’s goal was finally invalidated for an offside position by the Parisian number 7. Not obvious at real speed, this illicit position appeared more clearly to the developer, the French striker being ahead of Mats Hümmels with all the bust. However, a player is offside if “any part of the head, trunk or legs” exceeds the line of the last defender, as provided for in law 11 of the game.

A cold shower for PSG, who remained at that moment of the match at 1-1, thanks to a goal from Warren Zaire-Emery, on the lawn of Signal-Iduna Park, still depending on the fate of the match between Newcastle and AC Milan to know its fate on the European scene. The Parisians, who generally dominated Borussia Dortmund, missed a lot of opportunities in this meeting.
