In On those nights heroes are born! Borussia Dortmund is in the semi-finals of the Champions League after a spectacular 4-2 victory over Atlético de Madrid. Only one rival stands in the way of the dream of the final.
BVB in individual review
Gregor Kobel – grade 3: Almost stopped in the first half, he had to leave immediately after the restart. Shortly afterward she was beaten by her own husband. She was also powerless when it came to conceding the second goal.
Julian Ryerson – Grade 2: He remains one of the most underrated BVB stars! In defense they demanded a lot, but almost without faltering. Strong performance on the biggest stage.
Mats Hummels – Grade 2: There is hardly a central defender in the world who makes as many passes from the outside of the foot as he does (that's surprising). instagram-Don't act). A lot of luck on the half hour mark when he put the ball into Llorente's feet in front of his own goal. Shortly after he gives a brilliant assist to Julian Brandt to make it 1-0. Bitter own goal for the visiting goal. A special applause for winning a sprint duel with Griezmann. After the game, the South sings.
Schlotterbeck with best performance in the center of defense
Nico Schlotterbeck – Grade 1: One of his best games this season! First he makes life difficult for Morata and also defends Correa very well on several occasions. There is only one part to blame for the 2:2 result, but it still deserves the highest mark!
Ian Maatsen – Grade 2: Tirelessly on the left side. Especially in the first half, he upset the Madrid team in attack. After the break, more discreet and more required in defense. The act of rescuing him is the final scene of the game.
Emre Can – Grade 2: He often has to clean up just the defensive midfield, but he does it exceptionally well. He also brings a needed calm to the otherwise hectic game. Good game from the captain.
Sabitzer becomes a differentiating player
Marcel Sabitzer – Grade 1: After three minutes, Sabitzer has to quickly make it 1-0. He must! But he makes it 4-2, much more important, and lets the stadium go crazy. They also prepared 2-0 and 3-2, which overshadows his defensive deficiencies. A differential player at this point in the season.
Jadon Sancho (until minute 86) – Grade 3: Often too playful, that deprives him of goal threat tonight. However, he is a very unpleasant offensive player for the guests.
Julian Brandt (until minute 90) – Grade 2: He leaves the stadium buzzing with the score 1-0. Important pacemaker in the center of the field and always a dangerous dead ball shooter. Slightly overshadowed by its neighbor Sabitzer.
Karim Adeyemi (until minute 66) – Grade 3: After his sending off in Gladbach, Adeyemi had something to make up for. With a lot of commitment and fighting spirit, he was especially active before the break. After the break he became increasingly tired and lost a lot of energy. Before the 2-2 draw he lost the ball and then couldn't get it back. Then replaced.
Niclas Füllkrug – Grade: 3: The forward spent an unpleasant evening being constantly watched by Giménez. But no one cares if he hits such a brilliant header into the box to make it 3-2. He DFB-Star then even has to make the preliminary decision.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (from minute 66) – Grade 3: He has a good chance after a few moments on the field, but he is not a head monster. Then the expected freshness in attack.
Salih Özcan (from minute 86) – no rating.
Marco Reus (from minute 90) – no rating.
