The midfielder told TNT Sports: “A sore one, for sure. We were punished with every mistake we made. Before we knew it, we were 5-1 down. A sobering night.

“You receive consequences when you commit errors like that. Dortmund deserves praise. We need to accept that and move on to the next game, even though we’ve been somewhat sobered.

You re-enter the game for yourself. We were startled a little bit and killed by the first goal. Good players will kill you if you give them too much time with the ball. And they carried out that action.I believe the strategy was to take a middle ground position. We recognize that sometimes you have to suffer a little without the ball when playing against skilled opponents. We must take lessons from it. After that, we had a lot on our minds.
