Champions League: Kovac Laments Collapse As Dortmund Squander Late Lead Against Juventus
UEFA Champions League: The curious finish at the Juventus Stadium remained a mystery to most of Borussia Dortmund's squad. As if a frantic search for the game's "black box" might explain the collapse, players first stared at TV replays before speaking.
Despite leading Juventus 4-2 as the clock ticked past 90 minutes in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League opener, Dortmund conceded two goals in injury time to finish with a 4-4 draw. "It feels like a defeat, despite us scoring four goals against Juve," rued Dortmund coach Niko Kovac. "You have to dive deep into the history books to find something similar."
The 53-year-old praised his team's effort and called the performance top-notch, but admitted frustration at the closing stages. Still, Kovac insisted on a positive view, mindful of the club's recent heartbreaks - losing the 2022/23 Bundesliga title on the final day and being beaten by Real Madrid in the 2024 Champions League final, reports Xinhua.
