Borussia Dortmund has taken a little step of its serious meaning and therefore towards the Champions League of 16. The BVB, which has been struck for months, won the Sporting Lisbon Sporting Series 3-0 ( 0-0) and therefore has a good chance of going to the next round.
After a clear increase in performance in the second round, Serhou Guirassy (60th minute), Pascal Groß (68.) and Karim Adeyemi (82nd) assured the team of coach Niko Kovac. For the successor of Nuri Sahin, it was the first victory as a BVB coach, and there was a 1-2 against Stuttgart for him on Saturday in the Bundesliga. The return match against Lisbon will take place in Dortmund next week.
After a little release for Borussia, he initially did not at all considered because of courage and an appearance without ideas before the break. In BVB, the new winter comer, Daniel Svesson, moved for the first time, while his teammates also revealed the Swedish weaknesses of the left rear. In the 15th minute, for example, the defense network around the 22 -year -old did not really attack Uruguayer Maxi Araújo, whose shot of almost 20 meters went only to the transverse bar.
Otherwise, the Dortmund started with almost eleven at the beginning that in the last 1: 2 against VFB Stuttgart – and the team was noticeable in almost all stage, especially in the first round. On the offensive, BVB has often acted too much with hesitation and discouraged in the game of passes, on the defensive Svensson and Co.
But because Sporting also appeared something other than in the upper form, an extremely difficult game has developed. Portuguese’s top Swedish scorer, Viktor Gyökeres, was only slightly struck on the bench. If sport has become dangerous, only if Dortmund has defended too much with hesitation. Just like the early crossbar of Araújo.
It was time for BVB professionals at least trust themselves in themselves and their skills. Shortly before the break, a shot from Jamie Gitten (38th) passed just after a nice dribble. In the minutes later, control of the game moved to BVB, but the precision of the last pass was missing.
Of course, it also recognized Kovac, who, in his second match, apparently found the right words at halftime as a BVB coach. Dortmunders did not come from the break as if they were transformed, but much more determined. They have now supported the Portuguese as unstable and more aggressive – and that has borne fruit.
After a strong shelf of Guirassy, Adeyemi initially failed a short distance from the sports guard who was strongly by Rui Silva. Shortly after, the striker himself did better. A long flank of Julian Brandt sailed in the penalty zone, where Guirassy directed the tour against the direction of Silva. A few minutes later, added BVB. This time, Guirassy delivered the model that his flank was promoted by a short distance from his knee in order.
Sporting, on the other hand, did practically nothing line after the change of sides. Gyökeres came into play in the 59th minute, but the fast attacker could barely define the accents. Instead, Adeyemi did 3-0 shortly before the end.
You City played two guided tours against Real Madrid – and loses
Real Madrid’s title champion, after a late success in the success of the Champions League in Manchester City, is held before moving into the swell of 16. Former Dortmund Jude Bellingham met 3-2 (0: 1) Success in the Pep Guardiola team in additional time. Two shots of Erling Haaland were not enough for the city. The decision is made during the return match next Wednesday (9 p.m.) in Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid.
Even if Real Madrid had to do without many defensive players alongside Antonio Rüdiger, the Spanish were much better at the start. Kylian Mbappé (11th minute) and especially Ferland Mendy (12th) have assigned the best options. On the other hand, the hosts took advantage of the first opportunity: Haaland scored 1-0 (19th).
However, the blow to Man City did not help. The real striker Vinicius Junior struck the crossbar six minutes later. After the change of the teams, Mbappé reached the deserved compensation: after the Cross of Dani Ceballos, the French carried the ball under the Tibia in the aim of the city (60th). Mbappé and Bellingham missed 2: 1 a little later. Haaland then provided the new management of the city by penalty (80th). Brahim Diaz equalized in well 2: 2 (86th), then Bellingham provided the happy end of the Spanish.
Juventus Turin also has a good chance of the next round. The Italians defeated the PSV Eindhoven 2-1 (1: 0). Former Schalker Weston McKennie (34th) and Samuel MBANGULA (82nd) were Juve scorers. Former Munich Ivan Perisic was responsible for interval 1: 1 (56.).
