‘The virgin appeared to them,’ said the América de Cali coach in a press conference in Colombia. And thousands of kilometers away, in Germany, another possible divine appearance was recorded, now in the middle of the Champions League.

Borussia Dortmund and PSG played a great game, in a heart-stopping definition of Group F, which ended 1-1 on German territory and a happy ending following several were eliminated in the 90 minutes.

It was a part in line with the pressing French need: at 16, Shüle miraculously took it from the line in Mbappé’s shot that should have been a goal; Just followingward he crashed it into the Barcola post and Kolo Muani failed in his duel with the goalkeeper before the break, crashing a violent shot into his humanity.

And at the same time Donnarumma saved Reus out of pure reflex, Oscar also failed in one-on-one with the Italian goalkeeper and the French took one more shot from the line, who played on the attack and took risks.

It was soon learned that Newcastle won in London and the French went even further ahead, a temptation for Dortmund who opened the account with Adeyemi, in a defensive hesitation in the 51st minute, although in reality the happiness was short-lived because in the 55th minute, In a great start by Mbappé, Emery made the score 1-1. And it was good, but not enough to avoid elimination at that point in time.

But once more news came from London: a partial 1-1 draw between Newcastle and Milan and the place in the round of 16 was saved by a miracle… the virgin appeared to Luis Enrique!

And it seemed that PSG had heavenly help to even win the group, but the VAR caught a subtly advanced knee in the great goal that Mbappé celebrated in vain and Dortmund added its share of suspense with a couple more approaches, at the end of the party.

​

The tension was already high, but another detail was missing: Milan defeated Newcastle 1-2 and that meant that, with a goal from Dortmund, PSG once once more said goodbye. But then an agreement was reached on German territory: Dortmund signed the lead in group F and PSG lowered the rate so that both might simply qualify. How the first phase cost Luis Enrique’s team! Could it be an omen?
