Borussia Dortmund manager, Edin Terzic has issued a resolute message to Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final clash on Tuesday, May 7.

While Dortmund eyes a return to the UCL final for the first time since 2013, they are well aware of the formidable threat posed by PSG, especially at the Parc des Princes.

Expressing caution against adopting a defensive approach, as they did in the away fixture earlier in Europe's premier club competition, Terzic has pledged to field a more dynamic Dortmund side for the upcoming encounter.

His side lost 2-0 to the French champions at the same venue during the group stages, per The Athletic. However, the 41-year-old is determined to change the narrative this time around.

What Dortmund boss said ahead of PSG showdown

Despite his confidence in Dortmund's ability to replicate their performance from the home leg, Terzic acknowledges the daunting challenge of facing PSG in a lively Parc des Princes but has vowed his side will move mountains to ensure qualification.

"We will run 20 kilometres more than them tomorrow if we have to," Terzic said, as cited by GFFN.
"In the Bundesliga, we are the team that has taken the least amount of points against the top five teams, but we’re still alive in the Champions League, and we’re in the semi-finals.
"We created a foundation last week and we want to keep our Wembley dream alive.”

Mbappe admits PSG are under pressure

Sports Brief also reported that Kylian Mbappe has addressed the growing pressure on PSG ahead of their crucial second-leg Champions League semi-final clash with Dortmund on Tuesday evening.

Despite the mounting pressure, Mbappe maintains optimism about PSG's prospects of advancing to the Grand Finale. However, he acknowledges the substantial weight on the team's shoulders as they strive to achieve success.

Reportedly, the PSG hierarchy views this season as a golden opportunity to secure the coveted title, but overcoming Dortmund will be the first hurdle in their path.
