Dortmund made the worst possible start to the match, conceding a goal after just three minutes.
Remarkably, they are his only goals in the Champions League as he didn't score during the entire group stage.
As football statisticians Opta revealed on Wednesday, Mbappe became the youngest player ever to get to five goals in the Champions League knockout phase, beating Real Madrid great Raul's previous mark, after netting the opener against Dortmund.
The Ligue 1 leaders, the first team under the current Champions League format to reach the last four after going through two preliminary rounds, had the game nearly wrapped up through early goals by 18-year-old striker Kylian Mbappe and Colombian striker Radamel Falcao.
Monaco were forced to push their Ligue 1 game at home to Dijon FCO on Saturday back by four hours in the hope of giving their players additional rest following the incidents that marred last week's first leg in Dortmund and caused the game to be delayed 24 hours.
Bulls stun No.1 Celtics, steal Game 1
DeRozan scored 23 and hit a big shot late in the fourth-quarter to put Toronto 102-100 ahead as they edged out a hard-fought win. They'll call the Celtics a "fake 1 seed" and patronizingly explain to us how the playoffs are different than the regular season.
UEFA said the kick-off had been moved back because of "late team arrival" at Stade Louis II but Tuchel said the holdup seriously affected his team's chances of turning the tie around after losing 3-2 in the first leg.
Mbappe, who has now scored 16 goals in his last 16 competitive outings, is the most efficient striker in Europe in terms of goals scored per minute, ahead of Barcelona's Lionel Messi. "Everyone was on the bus and the police were ready to accompany us, but then we were told we had to wait", Tuchel said after the 3-1 defeat in the Mediterranean principality, which saw them go out 6-3 on aggregate.
"We know that tomorrow is a final, it will be necessary to respect our principles of play".
Dortmund will be without central defender Marc Bartra, who sustained a wrist injury in the bus attack and has since undergone surgery. "We want to go out and enjoy it but all four sides are capable of winning the competition", warned Jardim, whose team were visited by Prince Albert in the dressing room afterwards. "But we weren't able to do it tonight", he added.
Substitute Ousmane Dembele, who replaced Erik Durm during the first half, breathed new life into Dortmund and a rampaging run ended with Reus sweeping his cross beyond Monaco's Danijel Subasic.
