MADRID, 17 (EUROPA PRESS)

The Borussia Dortmund coach, Edin Terzic, has highlighted the five goals scored by his team against Atlético de Madrid “in two games”, alluding to the 2-1 win at Cívitas Metropolitano and the 4-2 win this Tuesday at the Signal Iduna Park , “something that not many achieve” and that has allowed the German team to be a semi-finalist in the Champions League.

“I understand the interest from Spain in talking about their teams now, but I was only focused on our performance and I think we did very well,” Terzic responded in the press room after a question in Spanish.

“This cannot be minimized. Atlético is a fantastic team, which has been very successful at this level for years. But if you want to highlight something that may be unusual, we managed to score five goals in two games, I think it’s something that not many teams achieve or maybe even it’s something new for them,” he argued.

“Very happy, very satisfied and very very proud of the team and the club. The atmosphere today in the stadium has been exceptionally good. Again there were two moments where they hurt us and that could have ruined everything. However, it was clear that we never lost faith and that, no matter what happens, we cling to what makes us strong,” summarized the Borusser coach.

“If you look at both games, I think we deservedly reached the semifinals, that’s honestly my opinion. And that says a lot. When you say that you deserved to go through against Atlético de Madrid, it’s something very important for us as a club,” Terzic insisted in his wheel. of press.

“From the first second we went out today to warm up, we felt that everyone wanted to take advantage of this night to direct the energy in the same direction and make it possible for them to experience how difficult it is to play against a team that received the support of 74,000 people or more “, said.

In this sense, he was happy to be among the four best in the ‘Old Continent’. “I think it is the fourth time in Dortmund’s history that we have reached the semifinals of the Champions League. That shows how special it is, but it would not have been impossible if we did not all believe in it,” stressed the coach of the Aurinegro team.

“We reached the quarterfinals through a very long and hard journey, and in this tie I simply think that we deserved more than them to go to the next round, for both games. But I think that what Atlético has achieved in recent years should be an example for many teams, including us, because they have managed to win titles in an extremely difficult League and also in Europe and that is why, at this level, the little things make the difference. We have taken those little things on our side in this tie. “, concluded Terzic.
