He just flies on the field.” The midfielder added about the victory: “It was Goodand important We dominated the first half. They had chances, but we were in control mostly in the first half. In the second half we took our foot off the gas and they managed to take control of the midfield. We proved how well we know how to react to it and defend properly to eliminate the game. A good word about our crowd – they are like the 12th player for us, a spectacular display from them.” Edin Trezic, the happy coach of Dortmund, praised his players for an impressive defensive performance: “I felt we did a good job in defense, but maybe we gave them a little too many chances . Gregor Koval was simply amazing at exactly the moments we needed him.

Besides the unbeaten streak, the London team only scored four goals in nine games in all competitions in 2023, when they failed to score at all in five of them. Potter showed optimism after the loss: “A very good performance by us, a lot of opportunities, it’s only half of two meetings .We needed a bit more luck, we’ll take the good stuff from here to Stamford Bridge. I turn to the fans and tell them that we are developing and progressing, exciting things are happening here at the club.” Chelsea also had encouraging news ahead of the return leg early next month, when it became clear that Angulo Kante will be fit and back in Potter’s squad for the crucial game.
