In the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, Dortmund lost to Real Madrid 2-3. In an interview in the mixed zone after the game, Dortmund midfielder Gross said that the team had planned to grab the ball and launch a counterattack, but this strategy did not work.

Gross said: "We originally planned to defend tightly and launch a counterattack by stealing Real Madrid's ball, but this strategy did not work. They invested a lot of players on the wing, so we conceded two goals in a short time. Although we also had some possession time and had several opportunities, our offensive threat was not enough."

"There were not many wonderful offensive and defensive conversions in the game, even for Real Madrid, but they performed very efficiently in limited opportunities."
