Dortmund coach Terzic doesn’t see the need to ‘apologize’ after winning against a dominant Chelsea

Terzic’s men edged out a dominant Chelsea side at Signal Iduna Park and boss Terzic is just fine with that.

Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic knows that his side is lucky in their 1-0 win over

at home ground but sees no reason to apologize for their performance.

Chelsea gave a dominant display at Signal Iduna Park, where Joao Felix missed a couple of chances, but they were undone by a 63rd minute strike by Adeyemi.

Dortmund

’s Kobel made a record 7 saves in a single match to keep his 11th clean sheet of the season.

Terzic told DAZN:

"It's great to come out on the winning side.

"There was a little bit of luck involved and we had an exceptional goalkeeper.

"But there's no need to apologise after winning at home against Chelsea in the last 16.

"What we really needed was longer periods of possession. We won the ball well in midfield a lot, but then gave it away again too cheaply.

"There were a lot of good things, too – the best of which is the result – but we know it's not easy to play against Chelsea and we took a good step tonight."

Both teams had plenty of shots on target but Chelsea’s efforts were more clinical as they had 8 shots on target against 2 from Dortmund. Kobel’s 11th clean sheet comes in his 23rd appearance of the season which is already one more than he did managed in the entirety of last season. Terzic was singing Kobel’s praises at full time.

"I feel like we defended our goal well but made it a little too easy for them to get into the final third at times,"

he added.

"If you saw how often we threw ourselves into challenges, how many shots we blocked, Chelsea have an incredible quality up front.

"But Gregor Kobel is in incredible form and we know when things get tight we can rely on him."
