Paris Saint-Germain had no shortage of chances and possession in their Champions League semifinal loss to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, but they didn't have the one thing that mattered: goals.
Jurgen Klinsmann dissects Kylian Mbappe's performance in PSG's 1-0 loss at the hands of Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semifinals. "Yes, of course. Difficult match and I think a tight match, but to be honest, I think we deserve to win that match," the PSG coach said afterward."We hit the post six times and we didn't score a goal. It's unbelievable. Football is so unfair sometimes.
"It is a sad moment when you lose and especially this way. I congratulate Borussia, they have had an outstanding Champions League and in the two games they had competed very well. We have six posts in total, 31 shots but we have not scored a goal. It feels impossible to believe""Last season, we lost the championship at home on the last matchday.
"The players and coach gave their all. Congratulations to Dortmund, we deserved better. It's a tough game. I'm proud of my team, the youngest in Europe," PSG president Nassar al-Khelaifi said. "We've reached the semifinals three times in five years. That's not our objective, it's still the final. That's soccer, you have to accept it and sometimes it's not fair. We'll accept it."
