Jurgen Klopp: 'Bayern Munich the better team'

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp admits that Bayern Munich were worthy winners following their 1-0 victory at Signal Iduna Park.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has conceded that Bayern Munich deserved last night's 1-0 win at Signal Iduna Park.

Robert Lewandowski came back to haunt his former club with a 36th-minute winner as the runaway Bundesliga leaders strengthened their grip on a third successive title.

The result represented Dortmund's first defeat in eight outings, and Klopp admits that his side lacked the cutting edge necessary to come away with anything.

"The first 10 minutes were completely fine," he told reporters. "After that it was not so good, we had too few chances.

"Bayern sat deep and played very physically robust, we could not get our way. In the last zone we lacked punch.

"The second half was okay because we had our opportunities but, overall, it was not enough against Bayern. We lacked clarity. In many small moments Bayern were better, so they deserved to win."

Dortmund sit 10th in Germany's top flight, 15 points adrift of the Champions League qualifying places.
