‘Good opportunity’

Dortmund boss Edin Terzić praised his side for coming through the test and says he’s going to Paris next week to WIN that game too.

He told DAZN: “It was a well-deserved win, a good team performance.

“We could have scored more goals, but so could they. That’s why the result is OK from my point of view.

“We ran a lot, but that’s necessary in a game like this. You have to earn your way to Wembley. All we need now is a draw in the second leg, but we also want to win next week.

“We have a small lead and a good opportunity.”

Marquinhos reacts

PSG skipper Marquinhos says there is no panic in the dressing room at the moment, as they’ve shown they can come back from deficits in this competition.

He said: “It was a test of two teams who like to go forward, have the ball, and press.

“It was a physical test. We had a lot of chances, especially in the second half, and ones that you can’t miss if you want to qualify for the final of the Champions League.

“At home, we’re going to have to make sure we take them. It’s always difficult playing here. We knew how much of a contest it was going to be.

“One-nil, we’ve overcome it before, especially at home with our supporters. We know we can do a lot better than we’ve done today. We just have to take our chances when they come, and be more decisive, both offensively and defensively.”

In the balance

PSG created plenty of chances and they’ll know that more will be created at home.

And that’s why the bookmakers still make them FAVOURITES to progress.
