Champions League: Borussia Dortmund lost against Juventus – SPIEGEL ONLINE

It was a controversial debate that after 2 was performed -Niederlage Borussia Dortmund at Juventus in the interview area: 1 (2: 1). An overview of the many misfortunes of the evening was really no one, it seemed. BVB had made small, large and very large errors, especially the Dortmund defender had a lot of mistakes in a very few moments strung together. “Both goals fall too easily, too easily,” said coach Jürgen Klopp.

However, a consistent answer to the question of who was responsible for this defeat, there was not at BVB.

consensus was at least that Sokratis had to passively acted before two goals against, threatened as the risk of the outside right. But would Mats Hummels to cross in front of the 2: 1 can not for a corner by a resolute intervention? Or would Marcel Schmelzer have to press the two Goal Scorer Carlos Tevez (13th minute) and Alvaro Morata (43) more? And how much blame for Roman Weidenfeller at 1: 0, because it at the feet of Tevez deflected Moratas shot from a sharp angle, rather than simply run it off

No one was able to tell if this now? was a good game, because BVB had phased dominates one of the title contenders. Or a bad game because the behavior of some players had looked before the goals conceded more like a relegation battle as after Champions League spell.

Hummels concedes misunderstanding with Schmelzer a

Also Weidenfeller and Hummels, two protagonists of defectiveness, took part in the discussion, but with a different degree of self-criticism. “For a goalkeeper, it is incredibly difficult when the ball as in the 0: 1 is played as sharp inside, I’m just his fingertips ran”, Weidenfeller said. It was “clear that because as a goalkeeper looks bad.” And Hummels admitted that before the 1:’ve given 2 “misunderstanding” with Schmelzer: “I can actually stand deeper and catch the edge.”

It was confirmed that evening in Turin quite the impression that the mood at BVB after three wins is significantly better in the Bundesliga. But then again, to the defense still unfocused and confused acts. . The misunderstandings suggest that mutual trust is missing

“It is curious that make directly from the two chances two goals,” Schmelzer said – but it was not so strange. It was by no means to opportunities Turin world-class individuals were generated with brilliant ideas, but about goals, how to shoot 96 and Hertha BSC, Hamburger SV Hannover or, if they so generously invites.

For the Dortmund can look forward to a significant advancement in the offensive. Marco Reus, the interim to 1: 1 hit (18) is always better Ilkay Gundogan had strong scenes in the attacking half. Ciro Immobile looked powerful and engaged in his home country, even the last so weak Henrikh Mkhitaryan was fairly stable in Turin. “Especially in the first half, we have many things right,” said Klopp after his side of the equalizer clearly a better team had been in the phase.

memory of great moments

In fact, the game of Dortmund remembered for half an hour at the big Champions League campaign two years ago, which was crowned with the final. “They have in the first half, delivered every passing lanes,” Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri also praised the opponents. Even the fickle defender had at this stage moments with spectacular duels won, but the tendency to individual Blackout remains a problem.

Only when played in the second half Oliver Kirch and Matthias Ginter instead of Lukasz Piszczek (suspected violation on Syndesmoseband) and Sokratis (muscle problems), passed no more error catastrophe. But there was also the team’s performance not as ambitious as Dortmund played again as an underdog, who is trying to limit the damage.

The damage is manageable by the away goal, in fact, getting ahead is still possible. “When you lose, then please 2: 1, which we have done,” said Klopp, and Nuri Sahin added: “. What I take with me that Juve is completely beatable”
