Borussia Dortmund beat Chelsea 1-0 when the two sides met at the Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday, February 15.
A Karim Adeyemi goal in the 63rd minute was enough for the German side to triumph over the out-of-sorts Chelsea side with pressure mounting on Graham Potter.
Speaking after the game, Potter believed there was a lot to take from the match to the second meeting in London. He said: "The boys have been fantastic in terms of their work, but at the moment, we're suffering in terms of results. But the performance was a big step forward for us tonight.
