Chelsea coach reacts on the European fall in front of Dortmund

Chelsea head coach Graham Potter bemoaned Chelsea's poor defending and bad luck after a 1-0 Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund, but insisted he saw plenty of positives in the performance. Graham Potter spoke after the defeat against Dortmund, saying,  “We needed a little bit of luck maybe, and a little bit of final execution,” Potter added. “We deserved a goal but have to keep going. It’s half-time. It’s a tight tie. We look forward to Stamford Bridge.” “Overall, we were pleased with the performance for big parts of the game,” Potter told reporters after the game. “It is complicated away from home in the Champions League, in a hostile environment against a team that’s in a good moment.  “It was an even first half, we managed the game quite well with good opportunities to counter-attack, and we hit the bar. “Then in the second half apart from the one decisive action where we didn’t do well enough, we were the dominant, the better team and created some good chances.” Potter then bemoaned his side’s luckless second half but insists his side will bounce back in the second leg at Stamford Bridge in three weeks.  “We needed a little bit of luck maybe, and a little bit of final execution,” Potter added. “We deserved a goal but have to keep going. It’s half-time. It’s a tight tie. We look forward to Stamford Bridge.”
Chelsea failed to win four consecutive matches in all competitions for the first time since 2018.
