Paris Saint-Germain was scared but will continue its adventure in the Champions League from February 2024. The capital club, traveling to Signal Iduna Park, took the point of a draw against Borussia Dortmund (1- 1), enough to finish in second place in group F behind their evening opponent. A frustrating result but enough to give a smile to the president, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, questioned by Canal + after the game : “the objective was to finish first in the group. We qualified, it was complicated with the match against Milan, the away match at Newcastle. This is where we lost first place. Even today, we deserved to win this match. We had a great match I think, we had a lot of opportunities to score but we didn’t score. We did the minimum job, we are happy to be qualified anyway because the group was complicated, very difficult. We are satisfied.”
However, despite qualifying for the knockout phase of the C1, the face displayed by Luis Enrique’s men is not the most reassuring, especially for a PSG which wants to be a serious candidate to lift the Big Ears Cup next spring . But the Parisian leader did not hesitate to quickly reinforce his 53-year-old Spanish technician, still at the microphone of the former Parisian Christophe Jallet: “we played with our level, our style, and our coach Luis Enrique. We are happy with him, his work, the style of play, what we want and what we like offensively. We will continue, the coach is really very motivated to do the same thing. We signed with him for an offensive game. We have a lot of chances but that’s football.”
