Despite a disappointing domestic campaign, Borussia Dortmund are one game away from becoming European champions for the second time in their history.<\/b><\/p>\n

Edin Terzic’s side produced a superb team performance to beat Paris St-Germain 1-0<\/a> in Tuesday’s semi-final second leg to complete a 2-0 aggregate victory.<\/p>\n

Dortmund, fifth in the Bundesliga, will face either fellow German side Bayern Munich or Spanish champions Real Madrid in the final at Wembley on 1 June.<\/p>\n

Defender Mats Hummels, who scored the only goal at Parc des Princes, feels his side are confident of winning the Champions League for the first time since 1997.<\/p>\n

“Since the second match of the group stage, we’ve believed we can prevail – and I don’t see why we shouldn’t win at Wembley,” said the 35-year-old. “We were able to take so much pace out of the game and atmosphere out of the stadium. That was our recipe for success.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve scored far too few Champions League goals in my career, just five. Now is a good time to add to that number.”<\/p>\n

Hummels was part of the Dortmund side that lost 2-1 to Bayern in May 2013, the last time Wembley hosted a Champions League final.<\/p>\n

He was instrumental in his side’s superb defensive performance as French champions PSG could not find a way through, despite hitting the woodwork on six occasions over the two legs.<\/p>\n

“We suffered a lot, but how we won the game, no-one will ask tomorrow,” added Dortmund forward Marco Reus, whose last game for the club after 12 years could be at Wembley. <\/p>\n

“Shots against the post won\u2019t matter tomorrow. What counts is that Borussia Dortmund are in the final again. Nobody expected this. It’s just incredible.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
