Enrique says football is 'not fair' as Paris Saint-Germain exit the Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique says football can be “wrong” after his side were knocked out of the Champions League semi-finals by Borussia Dortmund.

The German team won 1-0 at Parc des Princes in the second leg and 2-0 on aggregate.

PSG had a catalog of chances in the second leg and hit the woodwork five times without scoring.

Mats Hummels scored the only goal of the night, slotting in from a corner.

Kylian Mbappe was unable to find the net despite his best efforts and the French champions were eventually beaten by a well-organized Dortmund side under Edin Terzic.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Enrique said: “If the result is like that, yes it is difficult.

“It's a tough game, but to be honest I think we should win the game. We created 31 shots, four [times hitting the woodwork] – football is not fair sometimes.

“Football sometimes…” 😢

“We congratulate them. They are a great team and I hope they can go to the final and win it.

“That's our job to try to create something and it's a sad moment.

“We have to create something special and next year we will try to win this competition.”

No team has scored more than PSG's 14 times throughout the Champions League campaign but Dortmund legend Marco Reus says his side's place in the final was not just luck.

He said: “It is inexplicable. After more than 10 years, I am in the final with Borussia again. Ousmane [Dembele] and Achraf [Hakimi] we brought a lot of speed and suffered a lot.

“How we won the game, no one will ask tomorrow. Shooting against the post will not matter tomorrow.

“The important thing is that Borussia Dortmund has entered the final again. No one expected this. It's just amazing.”

Terzic – a Dortmund fan growing up – echoed Reus' words and expressed how proud he is of his players.

The Bundesliga giants are back in the final for the first time since 2013, when they lost to Bayern Munich at Wembley.

They will now have a chance to redeem themselves on the same pitch and face their old enemies if they beat Real Madrid tomorrow night.

Terzic added: “I'm proud if I have to get one name. A very proud moment for us.

“The dream is not over.

“I think we suffered a lot, but we showed a very good game in the away game against a team that is strong in front, fast and mobile.

“We won both games in the semi-finals. This is unbelievable, it was an amazing job.

“In the first half they were the better team in terms of possession, but we had a big chance with Karim Adeyemi and it was an important moment for us to keep the belief high.”
