What they said after Borussia Dortmund v PSG Champions League semi-final

Key quotes after Borussia Dortmund defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday:

"It was a well-deserved win, a good team performance. We could have scored more goals, but so could they. That's why the result is OK from my point of view."

-- Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said to DAZN of his charges' narrow win against PSG

"You have to earn your way to (final venue) Wembley. All we need now is a draw in the second leg, but we also want to win next week. We have a small lead and a good opportunity."

-- Terzic looking forward to next week's return fixture

"I think we today showed a classic team performance. Each helped the other to win the game. We needed a bit of luck a couple of times, but we can be very satisfied with our performance. It was a very satisfying, very grown-up performance from us."

-- Borussia Dortmund's long-serving centre-back Mats Hummels told DAZN

"It's not easy to play on the stage of the Champions League semi-final to take risks sometimes, because there can be mistakes, you can lose the ball. When you want to be successful on this level, it only works when you make the opponent work a bit and try to dominate them."

-- Hummels on Dortmund's approach to the tie

"We know how hard it is for opponents to beat us here."

-- Hummels on the atmosphere created by the fans in Dortmund's 81,000 capacity Westfalenstadion

"It's always difficult playing here. We knew how much of a contest it was going to be. 1-0, we've overcome it before, especially at home with our supporters."

-- PSG captain Marquinhos on the atmosphere in the ground

"The Parc (PSG's stadium) and our supporters are giving us hope for the second leg, and we know we can do much better."

-- Marquinhos 

"We're sad about the result. We didn't take the chances we created, especially in the second half."

-- PSG defender Achraf Hakimi to Canal+ of his side's wasteful night in front of goal
