The Spanish champions struggled to find rhythm or create many chances against Roger Schmidt's side, who sealed a 1-0 win courtesy of a brilliant second-half strike from Hakan Calhanoglu.
Godin conceded his side were outfought at the BayArena on Wednesday but is confident they can deliver an improved showing in the return leg at the Vicente Calderon.
"It's not a great result but the tie is still open. We have to play at the Calderon and do things very well there," the Uruguay international told Canal Plus.
"I think we were lacking a bit of intensity without the ball. We're not a team with great fluidity on the ball.
"It could've been worse. It was a strange game - I don't think either side created many chances," he said after the match. "We couldn’t handle their pressing. They won the second balls fume's Diego Simeone, the Athletico Madrid Coach

And what a miserable night for Arsenal Football Club. They were suicidal defensively and looked like School Boys in crucial moments of the game.
Goals from Geoffrey Kondogbia, Dimitar Berbatov and Yannick
Ferreira-Carrasco secured a convincing win for the Ligue 1 outfit despite Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain's late strike.
The result leaves the Gunnners' Champions League hopes

times in the second leg to have any chance of progressing to the
quarter-finals.
Wenger admitted his side did not defend well enough, though
he did praise his former side's organisation.
He told Sky Sports: "It was a horrible night but
congratulations to Monaco. They fought, defended very well and caught us on the
break.
