Of course Dortmund have a lot of qualities offensively. But I thought today we were very good, we stopped the offensive players and we also had some very big counter opportunities. Straight after we conceded, we had one counter where our guy didn’t see our striker, who was totally alone. But that’s football, that’s the way it should be. It should be emotional, it should have a little bit of temperament, good atmosphere and today it was everything.
