Ousmane Dembele proved to be the winner after his early striker assisted by Victor Osimhen’ former teammate Khicha Kvaratskhelia, who picked him out with a precise cutback just two minutes into the game.

Despite chances from both sides for the rest of the game, Dembele’s goal turned out to be the winner, giving PSG an aggregate 6-5 win over their Bundesliga hosts.

Nigeria’s Oshoala was active throughout the semifinal encounter and could not help but connect the dots as she watched PSG impress her on the pitch.
