11:20 p.m. – Haaland, failed return to his garden at Signal Iduna Park
Holder at the start of the game, the Manchester City striker was muzzled by Mats Hummels. Deprived of balls, and tired by the repetition of matches, the Norwegian was replaced at the break by Bernardo Silva. It’s a game to forget for the former element of Borussia Dortmund.
23:10 – Dortmund can thank Kobel
Beyond the penalty saved against Mahrez, the Dortmund goalkeeper was the author of a great second period. He won several times, notably in front of Gundogan and Alvarez. He’s the big man in this game!
23:00 – Mahrez, a costly failure against Borussia Dortmund
Discreet in the first act, the Manchester City winger showed up as soon as he returned from the locker room. Around the hour mark, the Algerian won a penalty on a foul by Emre Can. He wanted to do himself justice… but he failed! His attempt, halfway up slightly on the right side, was repelled by Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Kobel. An evening to forget…

22:50 – Virgin result in Dortmund (0-0)
the Manchester City F.C. had control of the ball but objectively lacked realism: after this duel, possession of the ball is clearly in his favor (62% against 38% for Borussia Dortmund), but the Mancunians created fewer opportunities in front of goal with 2 shots on target against 4 shots on target for Borussia Dortmund, and failed to make a difference on the scoreboard (0-0).
22:50 – Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City neutralize each other (0-0)
We were expecting to have a good evening… We missed out on this draw (0-0)! In a match that promised crazy intensity, both teams struggled to create chances. In counter-attack, in particular through Adeyemi, Dortmund had situations. But the German offensives lacked precision in the zone of truth. As for Manchester City, we purred. On a penalty, Mahrez failed against Kobel. Haaland, who came out at the break, was low key.
