Borussia Dortmund v Manchester City player ratings: Jude Bellingham 7; Phil Foden 8, magnificent Kevin de Bruyne 9

Manchester City set up a blockbuster Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain as Phil Foden's second-half winner sealed a 2-1 victory at Borussia Dortmund to send the Premier League leaders through 4-2 on aggregate.

England midfielder Jude Bellingham gave Dortmund an early lead, but a second-half Riyad Mahrez penalty and Foden's powerful strike moved City into the last four of Europe's top club competition for only the second time.

Having also scored the 90th-minute winner to give City a 2-1 victory in last week's first leg in Manchester, England international Foden again broke Dortmund hearts.

"We are finally in the semi-finals and we're really happy," Guardiola told Sky with his team bidding to win four trophies this season. "The guys deserve it because what they have achieved this season is incredible."
