Borussia Dortmund veteran Marco Reus said “nobody expected us to make it” as his side booked a return to Wembley’s Champions League final by beating Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday. Dortmund will return to the site of the 2013 Champions League final, when the then Jurgen Klopp-coached side lost 2-1 to German rivals Bayern Munich.

Dortmund won this year’s semi-final second leg 1-0 at the Parc des Princes thanks to a header from Mats Hummels, who also played for Dortmund in the 2013 final.
