Champions League failed to punish, Desky Sky: Gilasi is very angry at his downgrading to the second penalty kicker

According to Desky Sky, in the Champions League match where Dortmund drew 4-4 away with Juventus, Gilasi and Benzebaini were in a dispute over the penalty kick power. The former was very angry at his relegation to the second penalty kicker.

Dortmund head coach Niko Kovac explained the penalty controversy in an interview with Amazon Prime: "Of course I understand Gilasi's mood for a goal because he has a chance to score. But we have made it clear before that if there is a little ball, it should be Benzebaini to take the penalty."

"Benzebaini scored the ball firmly, and Gilasi was very happy. Everything was good and no problems left. We are a team, and they have a very good relationship, so there are no sequelae."

However, according to Sky Sports, the situation may not be as simple as Kovac said. After the game, Kovac and athletic director Sebastian Kyle reportedly spoke with Gilasi again.

Nevertheless, things don't seem to have settled completely. Gilasi is said to be still very upset and angry at Kovac's relegation to the second penalty kicker. Gilasi missed a penalty against St. Pauli, and Benzebaini never made a mistake when he took the penalty for Borussia Dortmund before joining Dortmund.
