The Black Yellows’ coach admitted that the German side were lucky on a number of occasions during the game against La Liga champions, but however was happy with the BVB’s performance
Borussia Dortmund team trainer Jurgen Klopp suggested that the Borussians were lucky to steal a crucial point from their trip to Santiago Bernabeu after a 2-2 stalemate against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. He took
time to heap praise on his team following their impressive displays against Los Blancos.
Die Borussen opened the scoring through the German young prodigy http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 levelled the game six minutes later. However, an own-goal by right-back Alvaro
Arbeloa gave the away team a crucial advantage on the brink of half-time.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international Mesut Ozil equalised for the Spanish champions late in the game, after continuous attack from them which put immense pressure on the visitors. As a result of this, the BVB manager revealed that the
Bundesliga side were lucky not to concede any more goals in the second-half.
Madrid young starlet Jose Callejon was also unfortunate to see his strike penalised after being ruled for offside. Furthermore, the tactician conceded that it was a good result for them and maintained that if a team is unlucky
at this venue, they will at least let in eight goals in a match.  
“We’ve had some luck. If you have no luck here [at the Bernabeu], you concede eight goals,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
“It is very difficult to plan a match against Real Madrid. The big difference is, when you play at the Bernabeu, they are more aggressive. After the break, Madrid were in force and we did not respond well,” the two-time German
Football Manager of the Year finally concluded.
Klopp said that it is very hard to devise a strategy against the La Liga winners. He commented that the main http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 is to make sure the team plays on the counter-attack when playing in Madrid’s stadium. Dortmund need only a win to
progress to the next round of Europe elite cup competition.
