He remained on the bench in both matches against Paris Saint-Germain but can only be satisfied with the feat achieved by his teammates, who reached the Champions League final. Sebastien HallerBorussia Dortmund striker, spoke about the path of the yellow and blacks: “No one would have bet on us. It was a surprise; if we take a step back and see where we were at the beginning of the season, we have to be honest”, he told RMC Sports.
“We have to tell ourselves the truth: we played five unconvincing games at the start of the championship and lost 2-0 in Paris (at the start of the Champions League group stage). Nobody would have ever thought that Borussia Dortmund would reach the Champions League final, nobody would have thought he would have believed. Let’s remember our level of play at that time. We absolutely didn’t deserve to be here, but if we got there today it’s because we managed to raise our heads, identify our shortcomings, raise the level of play and this paid off.
We can say that perhaps we were less good, that we were lucky, but we all know that in football you have to go looking for it. It’s just fantastic.”
