Despite the pain of elimination in the Champions League semi-final, PSG captain Marquinhos believes that the capital club must use the double confrontation against Dortmund to better bounce back next year.
Heads are heavy for PSG players. Beaten twice and eliminated from the Champions League in the semi-final against Dortmund, they will not play the second C1 final in their history, after 2020. Punished by a header from Mats Hummels at the Parc des Princes, Paris “missed efficiency” according to Marquinhos.
“They scored two goals from a corner and a through ball that we had worked on. We had to defend better. These are small details. We created chances, much more than them. We were not effective, they were efficient, they scored two goals, won both confrontations,” regretted the Parisian captain at the microphone of Canal+.

We wanted to go to Wembley for the supporters, our families. is very tough, there was room. Both teams grew in this competition, we came very close.
