"Ah.....!" Dortmund's players stood regretfully on the spot, some holding their heads, others with mouths agape looking skyward.
The broadcast cameras focused on them, capturing the moments of top players showing traces of frustration on the field.
"Clap, clap, clap...." Klopp didn't notice anything amiss at first, clapping to encourage the players on the attacking line.
Throughout the first half, Arsenal had been using a short pass strategy... but let's not talk about earlier; in the last ten minutes, these short passes struggled to penetrate Dortmund's midfield and front line defense.
Unable to penetrate, they naturally couldn't find their three forwards, failing to pose any threat.
This prolonged comfort made many at Dortmund forget the pressure at the back.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, Szczeny twisted to the side and unleashed a diagonal long pass, sending the ball towards the front left side, waking the Dortmund players from their daydreams as they turned their heads.
