In the first round of the Champions League stage held on Tuesday night, Dortmund drew 4-4 with Juventus away. In an interview after the game, Adeyemi and Ilditz revealed the little jokes they played during the game and praised each other.

Adeyemi and Ilditz have known each other since they were students. In yesterday's game, Adeyemi scored a first-time record for Dortmund, while Ilditz scored a 1-1 equalization goal. They "meeted their heads" in the subsequent mid-circle kickoff: the two seemed to have a relaxed conversation, a smile flashed across the corner of Ilditz's mouth, and Adeyemi smiled too. After a friendly push, the two met this time and continued the game.

Adeyemi explained on Amazon Prime after the game: "I scored a goal, and he scored a goal, so we joked with each other. I told him that he should not score any more goals, it would be better to run back to the back."

And according to Ilditz, he heard Adeyemi "some jokes made in Turkish", he revealed: "He knows some Turkish words. He sometimes feels better than me in this regard."

Ilditz was born in Regensburg, he grew up in Bayern's youth training and went to school in Ontehashen, a suburb of Munich. Irdez praised Adejemi so much: "He is really a very, very good player, and a very, very good person. I met him in our school. We went to the same school in Ontehaxing. He should have been in the tenth grade at that time, and I was only in the fifth grade. I admired him very much at that time. In the school, he was a little role model."

Adejemi arrived at Ontehaxing via Fosten Reid after leaving Bayern Munich's youth training camp, and he also highly praised Irdez: "He is a very, very good guy, and of course he is very good in football. Everything he showed on the court is great. I have a good relationship with him, he is a good guy."

Dortmund once led 4-2 to the end of this game, but eventually lost two goals in stoppage time and missed the victory. Adeyemi said: "We should have won this game 100% and we will not let anything go wrong anymore, we are disappointed."
