The ‘borussers’ won 1-4 in a duel marked by the goodbye of the coach after 170 games in Nervión
Sevilla deserved more but their errors at the back and the lack of effectiveness up front weighed them down. Bellingham great game
Julen Lopetegui’s last dance ended in the worst possible way. After 170 games, a tough defeat against Borussia Dortmund at home (1-4) that leaves the team from Seville with very difficult options to go through to the second round. If he succeeds, it will be with jorge sampaoli on the bench, who has been waiting for the Gipuzkoan coach to be dismissed for a few hours. Kafkaesque situation in Nervión.
