Come on, a little analysis of the worst failures of last night by our special correspondent in Rhur, with some Paint montages which are worth the detour.
True to form, the Borussia coach was not in a biscotto-showing mood yesterday when the final whistle blew. Because he knows what awaits his team at the Park. “We have a small lead, nothing more, nothing less. We are going there to win, even if we know that a draw could be enough for us. We also know that they will play next week with great euphoria and a great atmosphere for their home match. And that they will want to swing the meeting to their side,” he declared in conference.
Ok, we’re pushing it a bit by using the words of Daniel Riolo, the man who must have been martyred at school by Luis Enrique in another life and who devotes blind and disproportionate hatred to him today. Nevertheless, bringing in Kolo Muani who no longer has much of a football player and leaving Gonçalo Ramos on the bench, it’s criminal on the part of the Spanish coach, right? Asked about it, Lucho dodged: “We coaches always make decisions based on what we think is best for our team.”
Well, it’s clear that you messed up, my friend…
It will remain as one of the strong sequences of yesterday evening. Before the match, the PSG ultras displayed a banner in tribute to a Dortmund fan who died last January following a brain tumor. A gesture that the audience at Signal Iduna Park particularly appreciated.

We are going to read this paper from William, our special correspondent in Germany who finished preparing all this for you at the end of the night, and who dissects with his teeth this unfortunate tendency of Parisians to partially miss the subject in game 1.
If he hasn’t necessarily digested the boatload of opportunities missed by his teammates (FUCKING GET OUT OF THIS 80TH OPPORTUNITY!!!!!), the captain is also keeping his faith. “We had clear opportunities that we cannot miss. At home, we will have to make them happen if we want to reach the final. The team was a little disorganized, you have to be careful. We know the context. We showed that we could come back. What gives us hope? The Park, our supporters. We know we can do much better,” Marqui said on Canal after the match.
As after the quarter-final first leg, the Spaniard remains convinced that his team has what it takes to reverse the situation in the return match, at the Parc, next Tuesday. “It’s football. A lot of times it’s wonderful. Other times it happens like this. We would have preferred to be in a better situation. It was a balanced game. (…) We knew it wouldn’t be easy. The locker room is a little affected. In Paris, we will be very strong and we have nothing to lose,” announced Lucho as soon as the final whistle blew at the Canal microphone.
So, friends, do we want to believe it again?
Come on, here we go again… As after the quarter-final first leg against Barça, at the Parc, PSG wakes up this morning with the bitter taste of defeat in their (pasty) mouth and will have to re-mobilize to hope to reverse the trend in a week at the Parc des Princes. Until then, we have plenty of things to tell you and show you about yesterday’s match.
