The two teams will face each other again in this edition of the Champions League, as Borussia Dortmund and PSG were in the same group in the Group Stage.
Coach Edin Terzic stated that PSG is different from the Group Stage. Therefore, Borussia Dortmund will have to raise their level if they want to leave the field with an advantage.
“In the group stage, we saw a significantly different game against Paris at our stadium. It was a very open game and one in which we were a little closer to winning. Paris are currently at their peak and we have to surpass the performance we showed in that season. We are confident that we will show that we have improved”, he said.
In turn, PSG arrives ready for the clash. Coach Luís Henrique highlighted that the French team is still alive in all the competitions it competes in this season.
“Since I’ve been here I’ve felt the support of the players and the club, we’re in a process of improvement. This is still just the beginning of this project. There’s a month left until the end of the season and we can still win the four competitions. We just have to manage our emotions well and we should not see pressure as a threat”, he declared.
The return duel between the teams will be next Tuesday, at the Parc des Princes, in Paris, at 4pm. Whoever advances to the final will face, at Wembley, the winner of the clash between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
