Hands covering his face, Ousmane Dembélé was carried off on a stretcher. At the press conference Thomas Tuchel gave the all-clear, announcing that the Frenchman had not been seriously injured.

The coach said that "two knocks" sustained to the knee and thigh muscles were the reasons why Dembélé, who had been on the receiving end of a number of fouls, was unable to continue. Tuchel described it as "heavy bruising" and said of the man who set up both goals: "Substituting him off with bruising was a real disadvantage for us. The tiring opposition would not have been able to deal with his turns." (br)
