Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic has ignited anticipation ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semifinal clash against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), labeling the French giants as a team "built to win the Champions League." Terzic's remarks underscore the magnitude of the encounter as both teams vie for a coveted spot in the tournament final.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Terzic emphasized PSG's long-standing ambition to claim European football's most prestigious trophy, highlighting the club's concerted efforts since being taken over by Qatar Sports Investments. He noted that PSG's dominance in domestic competitions, exemplified by their recent Ligue 1 title, has been driven by an unwavering focus on Champions League glory.
Despite Dortmund's own storied history in the competition, having clinched the title in 1997, Terzic acknowledged the formidable challenge posed by PSG. The German side finds themselves in the semifinals for the fifth time, marking a significant milestone in their European campaign.
Terzic singled out PSG's star forward, Kylian Mbappe, for praise, acknowledging his exceptional talent and ability to influence matches. However, he cautioned against solely focusing on Mbappe, citing PSG's diverse attacking options across the pitch, including Ousmane Dembele, Goncalo Ramos, Vitinha, Achraf Hakimi, and Randal Kolo Muani.
