The referee blew the whistle for halftime soon after the goal celebrations. The players of both teams immediately headed to their respective dressing rooms for the break.
The Juventus players couldn't contain their happiness since they were already leading by a 3:1 score. Most were all smiles, while a few continuously cracked jokes as they walked toward the dressing room.
On the other hand, the Borussia Dortmund players were in low spirits. They walked with contorted expressions as they traversed the tunnel and eventually arrived in the visitor's dressing room. They then remained silent and gloomy while waiting for their coach's halftime address.
Coach Jürgen Klopp, who had arrived earlier, clapped his hands to draw their attention. He narrowed his eyes and said, "That was a terrible first half."
