Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas has taken the blame for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Champions League equaliser on Tuesday night.
The Costa Rican shot-stopper failed to effectively clear a Raphael Gurreiro free kick shortly before half time, allowing for Aubameyang to level scores for Borrusia Dortmund at 1-1 going into the break.
With the clash finishing 2-2 thanks to a late André Schürrle strike, Navas admitted responsibility for his error.
"The team put in a great effort. It is evident in the first goal I made a mistake," he said post game.
"It took me a bit by surprise, I took the wrong decision and it cost us a goal. We will work on those details so it doesn’t happen again."
The match at the Signal Iduna Park was the 29-year-old’s first of the season, having been sidelined with an Achilles issue. He was grateful to have returned.
"I felt calm during the whole game despite the long months I’ve been out. Thanks to God I am back and able to help my team mates."
"My mentality doesn’t change. I have to train hard, improve and it is the coach’s decision (who plays)."
"I am happy to play because that is what every footballer wants. We would have loved to win but a draw is not a bad result."
