'Overall we were pleased with the performance': Potter reacts to Borussia Dortmund loss

Speaking about his thoughts on Chelsea’s loss to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 clash, Graham Potter said: “Overall we were pleased with the performance for big parts of the games. 

“It's complicated away from home in the Champions League against a team in a good moment. It was an even first half, managed the game well, hit the bar.

“But apart from the one decisive action that we weren't good enough, we controlled the second half. We deserved a goal. It's half time, a tight game, but we looked forward to Stamford Bridge.”

Chelsea played some encouraging attacking football and had seven shots on target, but some poor finishing and amazing goalkeeping from Gregor Kobel denied them on the day.

The Blues will now have to win by a margin of two goals or more at Stamford Bridge to move onto the quarter-finals.
