Champions League: BVB draws, RB Leipzig clearly wins

With a draw against FC Copenhagen, BVB said goodbye to the round of 16 in the group stage of the Champions League. On the other hand, it was clear in Warsaw: RB Leipzig clearly won against Shakhtar Donetsk and is also further.

Harmless at the front, shaky at the back – Borussia Dortmund gave a mixed performance at the end of the Champions League group stage. Feeling that they had qualified for the last sixteen a week ago, coach Edin Terzic’s team took it easy in the 1-1 (1-1) draw in Copenhagen. Without Jude Bellingham, who was completely rested, there was a lack of penetrating power and defensive stability on Wednesday. In front of 31,900 spectators in the Parken Stadium, Hakon Haraldsson (41st) scored the deserved draw for the bottom of the table. Even the interim lead by Thorgan Hazard (23rd) did not give BVB any security.

BVB got off to a superior start, but were always prone to making mistakes. Coach Edin Terzic’s team needed the help of Gregor Kobel in goal, as they did last time. All the more bitter for the Westphalians that the 24-year-old was probably substituted at half-time.

The goals for Leipzig were scored by Christopher Nkunku (10th minute), André Silva (50th), Dominik Szoboszlai (62nd) and Dani Olmo (68′).

Rejoicing at RB Leipzig on entering the Champions League round of 16

RB is concerned about the condition of national player Timo Werner. The striker was injured and had to be substituted three weeks before the World Cup in Qatar with a left ankle injury. According to the club, the 26-year-old complained of pain in his foot after Donetsk captain Taras Stepanenko fouled him in the 14th minute of the game. More detailed examinations are to be carried out on Thursday in the hospital in Leipzig.

Before the game, there were unnecessary scenes at the entrance to the guest block. Leipzig fans criticized what they saw as tough admission controls, wrote on Twitter that women almost had to undress and minors “were touched intimately without cause”. The club confirmed this on Wednesday at the request of the DPA news agency. As a consequence, the active fan scene decided to dismantle the planned choreography. In addition, the fan banners were hung upside down as a sign of protest.
