We were too passive in the first half; it wasn\u2019t good from us. We showed a bit more initiative and aggression in the second period. We then had our chances \u2013 the biggest one obviously being the ball that hit the crossbar. We played against a strong team and at some point had to open up to go for the equaliser. That\u2019s how Dortmund created some good opportunities again. Overall I\u2019m obviously not satisfied with the result, but I did see a team that can match up to a Champions League side.
