The BVB stars show two different halves against Real Madrid. This is also reflected in the grades. The individual criticism.
Borussia Dortmund missed the semi-finals of the club World Cup. Against Real Madrid, it set a 2: 3 defeat on Saturday evening in New Jersey after turbulent final minutes (0: 2). Like FC Bayern, BVB previously left the tournament against Paris Saint-Germain.
Gonzalo García (10th) with his fourth tournament goal, namesake Fran García (20th) and substitute superstar Kylian Mbappé (90.+4) ended the Dortmund series of eleven competitive games without defeat. Maximilian Beier’s hits (90.+2) after a mistake by DFB star Antonio Rüdiger and Serhou Guirassy (90.+8, penalty) no longer helped. Before the penalty, real defender Dean Huijsen saw the red card after a spider against Guirassy.
Dortmund had no chance, especially in the initial phase of the game. The early 2-0 deficit was the logical consequence of the superiority of the Madrilenen in front of over 76,000 spectators in the Metlife Stadium-most of them fans of the “royal”.
In the final phase, BVB reared up again. After the connection goal by Guirassy, the equalization almost would have fallen. Marcel Sabitzer missed the great chance of 3: 3 a few seconds before the end. Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois reacted brilliantly.
“We didn’t give up. This is a good characteristic,” said national player Waldemar Anton to the streaming service DAZN after the game. The defeat had to be accepted, said the 28-year-old, who struggled primarily with the first half.
The different halves of the Dortmund against Real are also reflected in the individual criticism. Overall, two BVB professionals cannot convince. A substitute in turn shows a strong performance. You can read the individual criticism here or up in the photo show.
