Narrative:
I was pilot flying. Smooth flight. [We had a] normal descent; approach and touchdown. Selected reverse thrust. Engine 2 went into reverse but engine 1 did not. [We got a] initial ECAM of number 1 engine reverser inoperative. [We] stopped aircraft on the runway and set parking break. Reverser ECAM went away and green hydraulic system press low ECAM displayed. Completed ECAM and referenced FM for additional information. [Our] nose wheel steering [was] inoperative due to loss of green hydraulic system. Tug arrived and we were towed to gate.
