Newcastle pair Schar, Pope disappointed with Borussia Dortmund defeat

Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar admits there's disappointment after their Champions League defeat at Borussia Dortmund.

Newcastle lost 2-0 via goals from Niclas Fullkrug and Julian Brandt.

Schar later said, "We're obviously very disappointed and unhappy with the result. We were determined to get something from the game. Dortmund were very clever and a bit better than us in key moments.

"It hasn't made things easier for us in the group, but we have the quality to win our final two games. Anything's possible."

Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope also stated: "We're very disappointed. Dortmund deserved the win. The opener was the key moment in the game, in my opinion. It left them in a good position from which they were able to take full advantage."
