Borussia Dortmund defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767 pleased with a draw against Arsenal - UCL news
Borussia Dortmund centre back Mats Hummels believes that his side played well to achieve a draw against Arsenal. He was talking after his side’s opening game of the UEFA Champions League that was played on Tuesday, September 13, at Signal Iduna Park.
The player added that his side dominated the game for most part of the 90 minutes but lacked proper finishing. Hummels, though, still believes that the German champions could give a hard time to the Gunners in the return fixture.
Dortmund were in complete control of the proceedings but were unable to finish when it mattered the most. On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 were made to struggle but the visitors did not lose hope and kept on pressing occasionally. It was Arsene Wenger’s men who
earned an unlikely 42nd minute lead through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380, breaking hearts of thousands of fans present at Signal Iduna Park.
Hummels hailed the efforts of Ivan Perisic, who came on as a second half substitute in the 68th minute. The player earned his side a well deserved equaliser in the 88th minute to secure a point for the hosts. The defender mentioned
that Dortmund were terrific throughout the match and could have easily scored a couple more goals had the finishing been top class from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364.
While talking to the reporters after the game, the 22-year-old stated, "I think we can be satisfied because it could have been worse. Even though we didn't win the match, we were the better team for at least 85 minutes and we could have scored the first
goal before Arsenal did. We didn't, though, and so after an individual mistake – which we've had a few too many of recently – we fell behind. After that, we were left fighting for an equaliser for a long time until http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ivan-c17215 scored that extraordinary goal. For
many of us, this was our first Champions League match and an unforgettable evening."
Dortmund will next be in action against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 to take on Olympique Marseille in their next Champions League fixture.
