Video: BVB flies out of the Champions League due to a controversial penalty

STORY: Borussia Dortmund lost to Chelsea in the round of 16 of the Champions League. A first-half goal from Raheem Sterling and a controversial penalty from Kai Havertz erased their 1-0 lead from the first leg on Tuesday to see Chelsea through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 2-1 aggregate win over Borussia. Havertz initially only hit the post with the penalty, but was allowed to repeat it after video evidence because players had previously entered the penalty area. On the second attempt, the ball hit the left corner. BVB trainer Edin Terzic was repeatedly asked about his opinion on the referee’s decision in the subsequent press conference, but expressed himself diplomatically. “In games like this, inches and moments decide whether you go through to the next round or not. And today there were a few moments where we were a bit unlucky, but that’s also part of the game. So we’re not going to comment on that situation complain.” “I’m the manager of the team. I’m responsible for the team’s performance and for the staff’s performance, but not for the referee’s performance. We haven’t talked much about the referee, not in the past few weeks, and we will too don’t start tonight.” “But it’s those moments, those little things that lead to progress or not. Today they weren’t on our side. We still had enough time to fight back. And I think we tried and we did we also shown.” It was Dortmund’s first defeat after ten wins in previous games.
