There is great regret in the words at the end of the race Luis Enrique but also the awareness of having made a great journey in the Champions League and of having been eliminated also due to a bit of bad luck as well as thanks to Borussia Dortmund: “To be honest, I think we deserved to win the match. We constructed 31 shots, hit the woodwork four times, more than three Expected Goals… – he explains – In the two games we hit the posts, but we didn’t score. Football is so unfair sometimes“. Luis Enrique compliments his opponents: “Congratulations to Borussia Dortmundit’s a great team and I hope they can win the final.”
Al-Khelaifi: “We deserved more but proud of the team”
Following the example of his coach, the president of Paris, Nasser Al-Khelaifi: “We are very disappointed, sad about the result, I think we deserved better. In total we shot four times at the posts this evening and twice last week, the ball didn’t want to go in, it’s difficult. We wanted to win, but congratulations to Borussia Dortmund – he says – I really think we had the right to go to the final, we were better as a team. We are also disappointed for our fans, London would have been a magnificent final. But I’m proud of my team, the youngest in Europe. It’s the third time we’ve reached the semi-finals in five years, obviously that’s not the goal, but that’s football. Sometimes it’s not fair.”
