After the break, Bayern had more chances to finish off the game. However, the visitors were effective and put themselves back ahead with goals from Aubameyang and Dembele. Bayern did not give up and looked for the equaliser in any possible way. The Bavarians had many occasions to score in Dortmund’s goal and force the extra-time, but luck was not on Ancelotti´s side and so the Italian showed at the press conference: “Of course we are disappointed. We had enough chances to win the game”.
