Annoyed Hakimi confident PSG will convert their chances in Paris

PSG defender Achraf Hakimi lamented on Wednesday that his side failed to convert the chances they had against Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final (1-0) and said the Parisians will certainly score in the return leg.

"We created quite a few chances. It didn't want to go in today. In the second leg, the ball will go in. We're happy to have created those chances," said the Moroccan international into the 'Movistar+' microphone.

He also spoke about Fullkrug's goal and regretted not having prevented it after having studied for several days how the German side attack: "We've worked all this week, we've watched videos of what Borussia usually do. One of their strengths is the long ball. We had to be more focused for the return leg", he commented.

He also revealed what instructions Luis Enrique gave his players after an erratic first half: "He told us that we had to dominate, to win, to create chances. But it wasn't possible. We're happy and now we have to prepare for the second leg", he concluded.
