Borussia Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said an injury to defender Marcel Schmelzer and the suspension of striker Robert Lewandowski took the shine off the club's advancement to the Champions League's quarterfinals.
Last season's finalist reached the quarterfinals despite losing 2-1 at home to Zenit St. Petersburg in Wednesday's last-16, second-leg clash - its 4-2 first-leg victory allowing the German side to claim a 5-4 aggregate win.
Brazil star Hulk gave Zenit an early lead with a superb strike before Dortmund drew level from a header by captain Sebastian Kehl just before the break.
