The Portuguese hot shot brought the Spanish giants to level terms after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 gave the hosts the lead. However, Schmelzer’s 64th minute strike was too difficult for Mourinho’s side to overcome.
In the wake of the UEFA Champions League group stage defeat, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 came out in the open to defend his beleaguered teammate. The Real Madrid and La Roja captain admitted that the Pepe was responsible for the goal, but believes it should not cancel
out his overall outing on the night.
Casillas shared that the Portuguese centre back as rock solid for the duration of the match, pointing towards the effective manner in which he organized the defence, while also highlighting his presence on set pieces.
“Well, the truth is that there has been a fortunate move for us. Pepe loss has caused that goal but do not think you can judge for that.”
“Pepe I think has done a superb game, not you can look for that first goal. I think we've been very good on defence and we work very well able to defend their set pieces,” Casillas shared.
Continuing on the topic, the Euro 2012 winning captain stated the Borussia Dortmund targeted their left flank that was not up to the mark after the recent spate of injuries. He added that the Germans exploited their weaknesses and managed to make the most
of the opportunity.
“They have exploited our left wing and made around times of danger,” the 31-year-old goalkeeper remarked.
Casillas revealed that Real Madrid are optimistic about their qualification to the knockout rounds, sharing that they are looking forward to the return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“It is true that the second leg will be very important and it is vital to get three points and return to the top spot in the group."
