Borussia is closer to the Champions League final. The yellow and blacks win 1-0 against Paris Saint Germain, even if the appointment is for next week at the Parc des Princes. Fullkrug decided with a goal in the thirty-fifth minute, but there were many opportunities on both sides.
Hummels was awarded best player of the match. “Very intense match, very fun to play in our stadium, with our fans, we gave everything, more than 100%, playing together. We weren’t perfect so we have to improve in the ball possession phase, overall we are satisfied. I think that in the Champions League, playing knockout games gives us something more, the stadium helps us, in Paris it won’t be as easy. Now we want to get back to the final, playing a great match at the Parc des Princes. Did we know we could attack them in the long balls? on the defensive line, we have extremely fast players as wingers. At the beginning we didn’t have great opportunities, but we could have been dangerous with the movements to overcome their defense as our goal what we want to achieve. We are missing one small step: Let’s see the finish line. It would be absolutely fantastic to go back, I can’t wait, it would be a great goal for the team.”
These are Marquinhos’ words after the defeat. “My save was important because they could have gone 2-0, we know that in Paris we can do much better. In the second half we had opportunities that we cannot miss but at home we can turn the result around. “We made mistakes especially on the goal conceded , in games like these it’s the details that make the difference. We need to be more decisive in front of goal. We will work this week to do better, as we did in Barcelona, even though we are a young team we can make up for this result.”
