Luis Enrique remains confident: PSG can qualify against Dortmund in the return leg, despite a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the 2023/2024 Champions League semi-final.
Just as he had predicted against Barcelona, Luis Enrique foresaw PSG overturning the scoreline in the return leg. The same scenario unfolded against Dortmund, albeit with just a narrow goal difference. « We knew the difficulty of this match. It was a balanced game, very fair. Both teams had chances. »
« The attacks often got the better of the defenses. They scored a goal. We had very clear opportunities, but we failed to capitalize on them. There’s nothing we don’t know how to do. Now, we have to go home, recover, and think about the return leg. »
« This is the first time in the knockout stages that we’ve played the first leg away. For Borussia Dortmund, it’s the first time they’ll play the return leg away. Today, our 4000 supporters never stopped singing, singing, singing. Even when we were losing. In Paris, it’s going to be a celebration. It has to be before the match, during, and after, » said Luis Enrique.
