Paris Saint-Germain - Dynamo. Post-match press conference
Yuriy SEMIN, Dynamo head coach
- In general, I'm satisfied with the result. On the other hand, our attacking play was not good enough today. It's obviously too early to say that there will be an all-Ukrainian semi-final. However, we would like to congratulate FC Shakhtar Donetsk on their win tonight. Their victory is a great contribution to the success of Ukrainian football.
We don't think that the second leg will be easier for us as PSG are a very well-organised team and some of their best players spent the match on the bench. As for the fans, they were fantastic for their team here. I can just hope our fans will do the same next week to help us progress to the semi-final.
- Can we expect to see Artem Kravets in the next match?
- It is quite possible he will play against PSG in Kyiv. We really missed him today.
- What did you say during the interval?
- I’ve just made some remarks.
- What has happened to Corrêa?
- He has damaged a thigh muscle. The exact diagnosis will be known tomorrow.

Paul LE GUEN, PSG head coach
- Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to gain victory today. However, we achieved our primary objective which was to avoid conceding a goal. We had some chances to score in both halves and created many problems for the visitors’ defence but it wasn’t that easy. Dynamo Kiev are a very good team with highly qualified players. Nonetheless, the most important thing is that my players showed a lot of determination. It is going to be difficult in the return leg as Artem Kravets will probably be back and he's a very good player. Tonight we missed some good chances but everything remains possible. The result is not so bad.
- Can we say that the chances are still 50 / 50 for both sides?
- There is no sense in thinking of it. In Kyiv, our main task will to keep well-organised and disciplined from a tactical point of view and to take our scoring chances.
