Edin Terzic claimed Chelsea produced their "best performance this year" despite falling to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of his Borussia Dortmund side.
Karim Adeyemi's sublime solo goal in the second half separated the teams at Westfalenstadion and means Dortmund will take a slender lead into the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie. The result also turns up the heat on Graham Potter, who has won just nine of his 24 games in all competitions since taking over as Chelsea manager last September.
That is despite the Blues boasting a star-studded squad that was added to with many more hundreds of millions of pounds spent in the January transfer window. There is no denying Potter is under immense pressure, but Terzic had plenty of good things to say about how Chelsea played on Wednesday night.
