After his side were eliminated, the Borussia Dortmund boss said both teams deserved to qualify.
Edin Terzic after the elimination of Borussia Dortmund thinks that Chelsea’s qualification is deserved but that his team would also have deserved to qualify for the quarter-finals:
«On both matches it was a very close encounter and in this match it is centimeters and moments that make the difference to progress to the next round or not. There were times when we were unlucky, obviously, but that’s part of the game, we won’t complain about that. I think both teams deserved to pass. But they scored twice and we didn’t and we can’t complain about not passing.
He also returned to the penalty withdrawn after the failure of Havertz: “When the decision takes 5 or 6 minutes, it’s not easy to make. I am Dortmund manager, responsible for the performance of the team, not that of the referee. We haven’t talked about the referees in recent weeks, we’re not going to start tonight (…) There’s nothing to be ashamed of (this defeat)».
