With a goal from Niclas Fullkrug in the 35th minute, Dortmund won 1-0 at Signal Iduna Park in the first leg, and Sancho was in outstanding form. With an incredible display, the Manchester United loanee became the first Englishman to complete 11 or more takeaways in a single Champions League match. He was also the first to accomplish this in a semifinal since 2008’s Lionel Messi, who finished 16 takeaways against Manchester United.

During his miserable tenure at United, where he scored twelve goals, Sancho never finished more than seven takeaways in a single league game in his fifty-eight league appearances; nonetheless, he accomplished so in a half an hour against PSG.

Sancho was the player who completed the most takeaways (12), won the most duels (13), and created the most opportunities (three) against PSG.

This weekend’s Bundesliga match between Dortmund and Augsburg will set up next week’s second leg against PSG in the French capital, which will provide Sancho even another opportunity to show off his skills.
