Of course, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is overwhelmed.
Seven and a half months after Lisbon's disappointment and the defeat in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich (0-1), Paris Saint-Germain tamed the Bavarian ogre in its refrigerated den at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening .
"It's an important victory in the history of the club," said the president on the site of PSG at the end of this quarter-final first leg.
“We win away, here in Munich 3-2, despite several injuries on our side.
We have done a very good job, but it's not over yet, it was only the first period, there is the second to play for us at Parc des Princes next week.
"
"Very proud of the players and the staff"
Qualifying against Barca in the previous round does not seem to have been enough to ward off the specter of unfortunate eliminations of the past.
“We will also want to win, it is very important for us, insists Al-Khelaïfi.
I'm very proud of the players and the staff, because they played a great game.
But we do not forget that there is still the return match to play.
The message got through before the meeting at the Parc, next Tuesday.
