Götze pulled up and immediately went over to the physios on the Dortmund bench looking angry and frustrated and he rubbed and grabbed at the back of his leg. Juürgen Klopp wasted no time making a chance, bringing on the dependable and versatile Kevin Grosskreutz.
It’s definitely a blow for Dortmund but given the tremendous amount of pressure that Madrid have had them under early, having to bring on a more than capable player like Gorsskreutz isn’t the worst thing that could happen.
Götze will have plenty of time to heal if Dortmund can hold on and advance to the final with the Bundesliga already decided.
