For the semifinal clash, PSG will be without Willian Pacho, while Real Madrid won’t have Dean Huijsen, as both defenders received a red card. After the match, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois spoke to DAZN and noted the squad’s mentality about playing without the talented young defender.
“Obviously, it’s a significant loss,” Courtois said (h/t Mundo Deportivo). “He had settled in really well, played every game, and gave us a lot of options in the buildup. Now it’s someone else’s turn to be ready—this is Real Madrid, and there are plenty of players waiting for their chance. They have to grab that opportunity with both hands.”
