Thomas Tuchel moves into the final of the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain. The PSG star ensemble is one size too big for RB Leipzig in the semi-finals.
The dream of the Henkelpott lives for Thomas Tuchel.
Led by the star offensive around Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and Ángel Di María, Paris Saint-Germain made it to the final of the Champions League for the first time. Tuchel’s team showed the limits of Julian Nagelsmann’s selection in their 3-0 (2-0) semi-final win over RB Leipzig. (Match schedule and results of the Champions League)
“I think that Paris made a very good game”, said RB sports director Markus Krösche at DAZN. “We made a few mistakes too many. But we can be proud of what we have achieved this season. Paris was simply better today.”
Tuchel is happy about reaching the final
PSG, who have already won all sorts of titles this season in France, will now face either FC Bayern or Olympique Lyon in the final at the Estádio da Luz on Sunday.
“I’m very relieved,” Tuchel told Sky. “It’s indescribable to feel something like that. I was terribly tense until injury time, only then did I believe it. Even though it is difficult to show: …I’m knocked out right now. We didn’t just show quality, we showed hunger. We’re being rewarded for that right now. This team has really grown together.” (The voices to the game)
