Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has insisted that there was no shame in his side's 2-1 loss to Zenit St Petersburg in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
The Germans progressed 5-4 on aggregate courtesy of a 4-2 win in the previous leg, but went down to goals from Hulk and Jose Rondon on the night.
"Anyone who works in football knows that Zenit aren't push-overs and the creme de la creme of European football now awaits us in the quarter-finals," Klopp told reporters.
Sebastian Kehl found the net for Dortmund in the second leg.
