Club Bruges put up a good fight against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, before losing at the end of the match (0-3). Red Devil Maxim De Cuyper, who spoke to us after the match, believes that the Blue and black can be satisfied with the level they displayed in front of their audience.
Convincing for 70 minutes for their entry into the Champions League, Bruges were severely punished for their inefficiency in front of goal at the end of the match. Revitalized by their substitutes, Borussia Dortmund piled up three goals in the space of twenty minutes.They enjoyed their highlights, we didn’t, summary Maxim De Cuyper. That’s the difference in the second half. Even before the game, you know it’s going to be difficult if you don’t take advantage of your strong moments.”
Despite everything, the young Red Devil remembers the good level displayed by his team, who will face the Austrians of Sturm Graz during the 2nd day of the league phase.I think we should be proudwe had chances, we tried to play our football and that’s the most important thing. I played a Champions League match, it’s an honour“
Pushed around in the first half, the Gazelles gave their opponents a hard time at the start of the second half.They started strongly. Many of our players were playing their first Champions League game, but we came back into the game. They had control of the first half but the second was a bit more for us. After the first goal, we gave them more space.“
The Bruges left-back finally paid tribute to his counterpart on the right Joaquin Seyswho was playing his first European match at the age of 19.He is very young but he played very well. He did his job on the right, on his bad foot. We can be proud of what we showed today.“
