The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international says the Black Yellows had to raise their game to defeat La Liga champions, while Schmelzer netted the winner in an emotional style
Borussia Dortmund central defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767 stated that his side’s hard work handed them all three points against Real Madrid. The BVB beat the Spanish giants 2-1 on Wednesday in their UEFA Champions League encounter. The German
club gave everything and the left-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcel-Schmelzer-c23530 completed a life-long dream.
This crucial and most amazing victory over Madrid took the Signal Iduna Park outfit to the top of their group, clear of Wednesday’s opponents by one point. They lead the third-placed English side Manchester City by six points now
and look to be in pole position to qualify for the next round of Europe’s elite cup competition.
The star player claimed that they had to give their best efforts against a great team like Los Blancos. He insisted that his team members displayed strong determination against Jose Mourinho’s team which could not be seen in their
domestic matches.
"It's clear that against a team like Real Madrid we had to give everything," he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The defender suggested that they lacked the cutting edge in their last few league games. However, the youngster is pleased with the result following their brilliant showing at their home ground.
"That's what we lacked in a couple of Bundesliga matches, when we thought we could play at half speed. It was a great game and a great result," the former Bayern Munich youth player mused.
Team-mate Marcel Schmelzer proved the match-winner in the game, scoring after the interval.
"Today has fulfilled a childhood dream, helping Borussia Dortmund to beat Real Madrid at home," the left-back said.
"To have scored the winning goal is something that I still cannot believe," the 2012 Bundesliga champion finally added.
Schmelzer conceded that he fulfilled a boyhood dream, helping his team win in a crucial clash. The left-back was delighted to have netted the winner and still cannot believe that this actually happened. Dortmund will resume their
league action over the weekend.
