Reaction to the 4-4 draw in Turin: "We should have won that match" | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund seemed like the sure winner on Tuesday evening, but had to settle for a 4-4 draw at Juventus Turin after conceding two goals in injury time. Unsurprisingly, disappointment prevailed among the BVB officials and players after the final whistle.

"When you 'lose' the game in the last two or three minutes in this way, you feel emotionally down," said sporting director Sebastian Kehl via the club's website, reflecting on the mood, but he emphasized the overall decent result: "Nevertheless, we will wake up tomorrow and will have, of course, still earned a point against Juventus Turin. And that is, in the end, here in this stadium and against this team, something that will help us achieve our goals," said Kehl, who wants to "take away many positive things."

Coach Niko Kovac, meanwhile, addressed the avoidable mistake by Ramy Bensebaini before the 3-4, but also defended the Algerian and praised his team for holding their own in Turin: "I have to compliment the team for playing like this in front of the spectators, who are really very passionate, and for putting on such a good first half."

Gregor Kobel demands more mature football

Within the team, the disappointment was still palpable. "We are disappointed. We have to win the game. We can't concede two goals in injury time. It shouldn't happen that we end up with a draw after we actually played such a great game," lamented Gregor Kobel about the outcome, coupled with a clear realization regarding the final phase: "We just need to play more mature football there."

Karim Adeyemi expressed similar sentiments, not really satisfied with the draw: "In the end, we are ahead and need to bring it home – and then we are all happy. It just wasn't meant to be. We are very disappointed," stated the scorer of the first and assister of the second goal, but he also had a promise ready: "We'll do better in the next game."
