Goofy Gaffes: Kobel's Klutzy Moment in Champions League, He Insists it Ain't His Fault

- Legs fail to secure the ball.
The mighty BVB snatched a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals, but it wasn't a smooth ride. OSC Lille had given Dortmund some nails-biting moments, especially when they took an early lead in the 5th minute, and Kobel wasn't pleased.
When the ball innocently rolled towards the Swiss goalie, he assumed the position to catch it, but woopsy-daisy, it slipped right through his legs into the net. A total bummer for Dortmund, struggling to maintain their form this season.
Now, let's be honest, it looked like a goalie gaffe, but as you know, there's no pleasing a keeper when they mess up, especially in a high-stakes game like the Champions League. So, Kobel passed the buck post-match, chucking the blame on Nico Schlotterbeck's foot. "Trust me, when you take a closer look, it's just pure bad luck," Kobel bemoaned to the media throng.
BVB's Kobel: "It Ain't All My Fault"
"Normally, I'm the first one to admit my mistakes," Kobel explained. "But this time, lady luck wasn't on my side," Kobel continued, expressing his frustration. "From point-blank range, the slightest deviation can stump even the best goalie," added Kobel, adding salt to the injury.
But the Swiss shot-stopper's grim countenance didn't last long. By game's end, Dortmund had come out victorious, 2-1. Gregor Kobel had reason to heave a sigh of relief then!
Next up for Kobel and the BVB? FC Barcelona under the command of German head coach, Hansi Flick, who steered his team to victory against Benfica Lisbon on Tuesday.
