Borussia Dortmund have used Paris Saint-Germain’s social media post from four years ago to mock the French club after knocking them out of the Champions League at the semi-finals stage.
Mats Hummels scored as Dortmund won 1-0 away in the second leg against PSG, with the German side securing a 2-0 victory on aggregate.
Dortmund will take on either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final as they look to win the Champions League for the first time since 1997.
After confirming their place in the final at Wembley, Dortmund evidently hadn’t forgotten PSG’s tweet after the round of 16 clash between the two sides in 2020.Â
In that tie Dortmund won 2-1 in the first leg but PSG won 2-0 in the second leg in Paris to prevail with a 3-2 aggregate victory.Â

However, the post was understood to be fake.
