Luis Enrique, the manager of Paris Saint-Germain, expressed his frustration with the unpredictability of football, stating that it can be unjust at times. This sentiment arose after his team’s elimination from the UEFA Champions League by Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final stage.
In a remarkable display, Dortmund secured a victory over two matches, with a decisive header from Mats Hummels at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night. This triumph allowed Dortmund to advance to their first Champions League final since 2013, leaving the Ligue 1 champions behind with a 2-0 aggregate score.
