Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique was hopeful his side would still reach the Champions League final despite a 1-0 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their last-four tie on Wednesday.

“It’s football. Very often it is marvellous and other times it is like this. We would have preferred to be in a different situation, but I think when you look at it was a very even game,” the Spaniard told broadcaster Canal Plus after his side were undone by a solitary Niclas Fuellkrug goal in the first half. The French champions had more possession and more attempts on goal but were hindered by wayward finishing and perhaps a lack of luck—Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi hit separate posts in the same move at one point in the second half.
