Nico Schlotterbeck calls for 'winner's mentality' after Borussia Dortmund drop points in UEFA Champions League
Given that it was no doubt felt by many at the club, frustration was an understandable emotion for Schlotterbeck to have conveyed after Wednesday’s 2-2 draw at Signal Iduna Park. Not only did dropping points mean Die Schwarzgelben passed up the opportunity to move into fourth place in the league phase table, but it saw them slip to 10th – outside of the automatic qualification places for the round of 16.
What’s more, it marks the fifth time this season across all competitions that Dortmund have dropped points from winning positions courtesy of a late equaliser. After seemingly having drawn a line under this habit, following 3-3 and 4-4 draws with St. Pauli and Juventus on Matchday 1 of the Bundesliga and UCL campaigns respectively, the trend seems to have crept back in in recent weeks.
On Matchday 10, BVB conceded a 97th-minute equaliser away to HSV, which they followed up with the concession of a 91st-minute leveller at home to VfB Stuttgart the following week.
