PARIS, May 8 (Xinhua) -- French giants Paris Saint-Germain hosted German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals and eventually lost 0-1 to their opponents, eliminating them from the tournament with a 0-2 aggregate score. The match was extremely sad for the Paris fans and the team, especially since Paris failed to score after hitting the goal box several times during the match. Paris showed a great performance in the match, hitting the goal frame 6 times in the two rounds, but the fairness of soccer did not give them their due. Enrique said in the post-match press conference: "Tonight we had 31 shots but not a single goal, soccer is unfair in both rounds, soccer rewards the goalscorer, not the one who hits the goalposts, the difference between hitting the goalposts and scoring a goal is whether or not the Holy Spirit descends.

Paris was very unlucky, our expectation was to score three goals, but if any team was unlucky tonight, it was Paris." Despite such a crushing defeat for the Parisian team, Enrique remained positive about the performance and praised the unity shown by the team. He said, "These two days we will be in deep pain, but this is competitive sport. It's very important that we know how we lost, to set an example for the youngsters. You have to congratulate Dort and then accept the defeat. At the same time I saw a team with a unique competitive spirit, they gave it their all from the first minute to the last, this solidarity is very strong and I hope it continues.
