In the 11th minute Guirassy Panenko scored brilliantly from the white spot. In the 49th minute, after the corner, Bensebaini returned the ball to the second tripod, where he found himself guirassy and knocked into the net without difficulty. Bensebaini became a tragic only five minutes later because he scored a goal. By the end of the game, Kovac’s team continued to press, and a glimmer of hope was returned to them again by Guirassy, who took advantage of Barcelona’s defense error and scored 3-1.
The blacksmith thus remained at a miracle, and that echoed strongly in the German media. Kicker came out with the title « Dortmund said goodbye to his head raised. » In the text, journalists praise a triple shooter, but also a Croatian strategist for the way he prepared the team.
« The Borussia team made it clear from the beginning that their faith in the return is not an empty phrase: to encourage a frenetic audience, Borussia players, who were very aggressive in the duels, rushed toward the lead. Kovac managed to convince the team that the turning point was possible. »
Bild writes: « The spectacular BVB farewell » and adds: « Despite the release, coach Nike Kovac’s team played great and organized spectacular farewell. »
Dortmund is now expecting a fight for the Champions League through the Bundesliga. The task will not be easy at all because they are currently in eighth place, and the fourth position, which is currently holding Leipzig, runs away six points.
