Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck took a nasty tumble while celebrating the club reaching the Champions League final - but luckily the German appeared to walk away unscathed as he laughed off the fall. <br/><br/>The Bundesliga side toasted to a famous win over PSG, securing a 2-0 victory on aggregate across two legs as the brilliant team kept a clean sheet home and away before being seen dancing around the pitch after booking their spot in the final at Wembley in June.<br/><br/>Players were seen jumping up and down on a podium towards the edge of the pitch and an excited Schlotterbeck approached his team-mates as he attempted to join them. <br/><br/>But as the 24-year-old attempted to jump on the block to get involved with the celebrations, he lost his footing and slipped - falling awkwardly as he hit the podium before landing on his back. <br/><br/>Schlotterbeck initially looked in pain before rolling his knees up and being helped to his feet by team-mate and ex-Liverpool star Emre Can. <br/><br/>The player then laughed it off and signaled that he was OK before raising his arms towards the delirious supporters.<br/><br/>Schlotterbeck played the full 90 minutes at the Parc des Princes and put in a sterling performance as he helped keep a clean sheet for his team and he became an instrumental part of keeping Kylian Mbappe and Co quiet.<br/><br/>The defender has been a huge part of Dortmund's season, starting 30 Bundesliga games - plus a further ten in the Champions League - and scoring two goals. <br/><br/>His team has had a disappointing year in the Bundesliga, currently in fifth place and battling to win a place in the Champions League next season. They are three points off fourth-placed RB Leipzig. <br/><br/>However, for now, they won't care about their struggles in the league after their incredible run to the final.<br/><br/>The crazy celebrations continued in the dressing room - led by Man United flop Jadon Sancho, who has become a player reborn in Germany. <br/><br/>In a video shared to Instagram by the official Borussia Dortmund account, Sancho can be seen carrying a large speaker as the rest of the squad watch on, singing along to Adele's Someone Like You.<br/><br/>The squad is in full voice, with some too tired to stand and others taking a breather and taking on various refreshments.<br/><br/>The video then cuts, and Sancho can be seen stepping up onto the table in the middle of the room, speaker still in hand, his phone in the other.<br/><br/>He can be seen regularly walking around the table, embracing his teammates, and reaching to the skies as he continues to belt out Adele's hit.<br/><br/>The 24-year-old's current teammates can be seen laughing and filming Sancho's antics as they see the funny side of the midfielder's performance.<br/><br/>After the game, manager Edin Terzic hailed his side's 'incredible' route to the final as the underdogs. <br/><br/>\
