Jose Mourinho was at a loss to explain his side’s 4-1 loss
to Borussia Dortmund, in the first leg of their semi-final match in the
Champions League.
Robert Lewandoski scored all four
goals for the home side, while Cristiano Ronaldo got the only goal for the
Spanish giants.
Mourinho, who is chasing his third
Champions League title and the La Decima for Madrid, however admitted that
Jurgen Klopp’s men were the better side.
“I think Dortmund were the best team
by far, they won every individual battle on the pitch, they were stronger
physically and mentally so I think they deserve it. How did it go from 1-1 to
4-1? I don’t know.
“Everything happened in a short space
of time. We lost easy possession and we couldn’t cope with their counter attack
and their transition.”
Speaking on the Polish striker, who
troubled his side time and again, the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss said:
“We know everything about Robert Lewandowski, every detail possible and we lost
him in three goals. It’s very disappointing.
“When we lose and we don’t deserve to
lose, with me, it’s a drama, when I do deserve to lose I accept it. Of course
the boy deserves credit for what he did but we gave him every support for man
of the match.”
