We could leave the match with a lot of intensity.<\/p>\n \u201cThe defence were better than the attack. The character we showed against a team like Bayern is so positive. We\u2019re so happy to reach a second Champions League final in a row.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was very intense. Very difficult. They play football at the highest level. Both teams are similar, we love to press higher. We are very happy.<\/p>\n \u201cIn two days I\u2019m going to celebrate my birthday. I\u2019m very happy.

If we look at both legs probably too much went against us. The guys gave everything and we tried against a fantastic PSG team.<\/p>\n \u201c(Jo\u00e3o Neves\u2019s) hand is in the air, it hits it. Because it\u2019s from his own teammate it\u2019s not a penalty. But if you look at both (situations), a \u00adlittle bit of common sense and it\u2019s just ridiculous. Whatever needs to happen but it\u2019s ridiculous. It doesn\u2019t tell the whole game but it\u2019s a one-goal game in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Henry makes huge Arsenal claim after PSG beat Bayern to reach the Champions League final<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n
