What a wasted chance! With their first-year coach, the experienced, Champions League-winning coach Luis Enrique, PSG came to the competition expecting to develop their young and talented squad, but when they drew Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final, with the returning leg at home, the old appetites came back. But unfortunately, the City-Real scenario reappeared, and the team that was better and had more chances was eliminated. However, the problem for PSG is that Dortmund is not Real by any means, so the defeat is much heavier.UCL: A miracle in Paris! PSG are out after another defeat from BorussiaThe situation is so dire that coach Enrique uses religious symbols to explain the defeat.”The feeling is sadness, we were not inferior, if we add up the two matches, we have six shots on the post, football is sometimes unfair, we did not score a goal afterwards having shot 31 times this evening. The football was not fair on the back and forth, but football rewards the one who scores and not the one who hits the post. The difference between hitting the post and scoring, it depends on the Holy Spirit who was passing by. Great bad luck affected Paris, the expected goals statistics were three. If any team had bad luck tonight, without taking any credit away from Dortmund, it was PSG and no one else” added the Spaniard.This is the first time in the last 8 seasons where Paris-Saint-Germain registered more than (25) shots in a single match without scoring a single goal. pic.twitter.com/zPUCthScBk— Fenomeno Football (@FenomenoFtbl) May 7, 2024 President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was also there to comment the defeat and was annoyed with the journalist’s question if Luis Enrique (contracted until 2025) will continue.“What is this question, honestly? Do you understand football? We have the youngest team in Europe. We have made three semi-finals in five years. What are we missing? We hit the posts six times in two matches, but it’s football, we have to accept. We want to continue. young team from Europe for sure, the future is for us” said PSG president.Grab them by the throat’ says Petit to PSG playersKylian Mbappe played his last European game with PSG. With two posts hit in these two matches, it was certainly too little for such a player, and future Real Madrid star. And he was aware of that.”I tried to help my team as best I could. It wasn’t enough. When we talk about efficiency in the areas, I think I’m the first to be targeted. I’m the guy who has to score the goals, who has to be decisive. When it happens, I take all the light, when it doesn’t work, you have to take all the shadow too. So there’s no problem with that. The first one who should score this evening is me. Now that’s life, you have to get over it, whether it’s me or the team” said Mbappe.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUESemifinals – second legTuesdayPSG – Dortmund 0-1 (0-0) /first leg 0-1//Hummels 50/Wednesday22:00: (1.95) Real Madrid (3.50) Bayern (3.90) /first leg 2-2/***odds are subject to change***
