"

The referee told me 'f*** you' twice,"

RMC Sport

post-match.

"If I do that, I get a 10-man ban. Of course I talk a lot with the referee, but I never say f*** you."

Herrera added:

"We talk about respect with the referees. The referee tonight said f*** off to [PSG midfielder] Leandro Paredes.

"If we say that, we get a three or four-match ban."

PSG did not manage to net a single goal which was the first time they failed to meet the back of the net in a Champions League match.

"

We were the best team for 70 minutes,

" said Herrera.

"We attacked, we created problems for a team that is playing very well.

"We can leave with our heads held high. We are of course sad. It is not easy to do so, to be a semi-finalist. We must not change what we did today. We played well. We did everything. There are always things to improve."
