Unai Emery adamant that PSG will win Champions League one day

Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery has promised the French giants will win the Champions League one day after his side were eliminated in the last-16 by holders Real Madrid.

The club’s Qatari owners have spent heavily on the playing squad ahead of this Champions League campaign with Kylian Mbappe and world record £198million Neymar, expected to deliver the trophy. 

But a 5-2 aggregate defeat to Los Blancos looks set to be what will cost Emery his job at the end of the season.

The Parisians were knocked out at the last-16 to Real Madrid with a 5-2 aggregate scoreline 

The former Sevilla boss urged for patience from his critics and supporters as PSG continue to ‘build a team that can win’ it in the future.

The French giants are yet to win the Champions League and former boss Laurent Blanc was dismissed after guiding them to the quarter-finals in three consecutive seasons.

They have now exited the competition in the last 16 for the last two years under Unai Emery.

He said: ‘We all want to win this competition quickly. We’ll continue with patience, and build a team that can win.

PSG are yet to win the Champions League trophy and will rue two poor games against Madrid

‘I’m sure this team can win the Champions League. The supporters will see that Paris will win this competition one day.

‘Losing to Madrid is not a disappointment, but going out in the last 16 is. But, the first leg was the key because we were better over the first 80 minutes than them.

‘They controlled 60 per cent of this match and we couldn’t do enough in the 40 per cent we controlled.’
