In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League, Borussia Dortmund hosted Roma’s Lazio at home, expressing a clear desire to maintain the front line in the quartet’s standings. However, Erling Holland’s injury had too detrimental an effect on the “bumblebees” line of attack, so they could not beat the “eagles” (1: 1).

Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre in his post-match interview complained about the poor implementation of scoring chances by his players, as well as the theatrical play by opponents, who thus won the right to a penalty in the second part. His words are quoted by the club’s official website.

“We play against a good opponent. We can’t win every game 3-0; this is impossible. We had chances and we could have made the score 2: 0 or 2: 1, a bit later. We didn’t use this, we conceded unnecessary goal.

It was not a penalty, but a circus! It was a theater with a clearly exaggerated actor. But none of the referees said anything. As a result, 1: 1, which does not correspond to the actual state of affairs. We could have won today. We limit ourselves to only one guaranteed entry to the playoffs. Now that is the most important result of the match, “summed up the mentor.

In the final round, Borussia Dortmund will have a guest showdown with an obvious outsider of the group: St. Petersburg Zenith.
