Brandt: In the end we showed our fighting spirit and just almost dragged the game into overtime

In the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, Dortmund lost to Real Madrid 2-3 and missed the semi-finals. In an interview after the game, Dortmund midfielder Brandt said that the team performed poorly in the first half.

Brant said this: "The final stage of the game became very nervous, and we were only a little short of dragging the game into overtime. In the first half, we performed slowly and dull, and we were scored 2 goals by our opponents."

"We kept catching up afterwards, and the team finally showed their fighting spirit and almost equalized the score. We should have handled the situation in a different way."
