"If we want to reach the final, we have to hold on in Paris"

Germany's Mats Hummels said on Wednesday after their 1-0 win over PSG in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final that if his side want to reach the final, they have to hold on in Paris.

Speaking to 'DAZN', the German centre-back was pleased with his side's performance and urged his team-mates to hold on to the result to reach the final.

"We played an excellent game. It was a very mature game from our side. We helped each other to perform at our best. It's not easy to keep calm and make the good decisions in a Champions League semi-final, but we did well for long stretches," said Hummels, 35, a World Cup winner with his national team at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

"Of course we want to go to Wembley, but on Tuesday in Paris it will be another difficult game. If you want to reach the final, you have to be able to hold on in Paris," he said.
