Borussia Dortmund's Niko Kovac happy with fight in loss to Bayern Munich
"After the game in Bergamo, today's performance was really good. The team put up a strong fight and truly deserves a compliment. On the other side is FC Bayern Munich. Just look at the first goal: the way Josh finds Serge, the way he then sets up the third, that's world-class. That's ultimately the difference, which was also evident today."
"Nevertheless, I want to expressly compliment my team. I've already told them that, because they fought with everything they had today. Bayern really had to stretch themselves to come away with the win. With a bit of luck, you might draw a game like this. In the end, it's that little bit of top quality, like that of Joshua Kimmich, that makes the difference."
Borussia Dortmund faced Bayern Munich in a competitive 3-2 loss where head coach Niko Kovač emphasized his satisfaction with the team's performance and intensity. Coming off a disappointing Champions League elimination to Atalanta, Kovač wanted to see his squad fight with focus and determination, which they delivered. While Bayern's superior quality, particularly Joshua Kimmich's playmaking, proved decisive, Kovač explicitly complimented his players for their effort and commitment throughout the match. He acknowledged that Bayern had to work hard to secure the victory and noted that with slight fortune, the result could have been different. The loss likely eliminates Dortmund from the Bundesliga title race.
