PSG vs Borussia Dortmund: What has been said?

Dortmund boss Lucien Favre: “We want and need to produce a big performance here if we want to qualify. We’ll need to have a very good game and to play with intelligence and patience.

“We’ll have to perform very well defensively and we’ll need to go forward too – so we need to play, in inverted commas, an entirely normal game. We want to try to destabilise our opponent. We can’t simply limit ourselves to defending.”

Dortmund assistant Sebastian Kehl: “We put in a very, very good performance at home but only, in inverted commas, won 2-1. Nonetheless, it sent a signal.

“We demonstrated that we can defend very well against PSG and that we can still get opportunities going forward too. With that in mind, we’re hopeful that we can reproduce similar form tomorrow. We know that it’ll be a different game.

“PSG will definitely perform more strongly, especially being at home. We believe ourselves to be well-equipped for this match and are full of hope that we can through to the next round.”
