2023-10-04 18:01:12

Compared to the 3-1 win once morest TSG Hoffenheim, BVB coach Terzic only changes in one position. Captain Emre Can replaces Felix Nmecha in the starting eleven, Niklas Süle is once once more only on the bench. “We have found a defense, and that also applies to the attack. And we can always add more from the bench,” explained BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl before the game.

In attack, Terzic trusts his offensive team around Niclas Füllkrug, Donyell Malen and Julian Brandt, and Marco Reus also starts once more in the attacking midfield.

Dortmund: Kobel – Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini – Özcan, Reus, Emre Can – Malen, Füllkrug, Brandt

Mailand: Maignan – Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo – Pobega, Musah, Reijnders – Pulisic, Giroud, Rafael Leao

“As a rule, you need around ten points in a group,” said coach Edin Terzic before the encounter. “If you calculate that down, you know how important the home games are.” Dortmund still have five opportunities following their opening defeat, and Terzic was confident: “We believe that we will have a lot of opportunities to win the game. We thought regarding it.”

Niclas Füllkrug was also part of the press conference; the national player appeared relaxed and unfazed by the pressure situation: “I’m actually always relatively relaxed. In the end, like in every game, it’s regarding winning.” He scored his first goal for BVB in Hoffenheim.

AC Milan knows how the Champions League works; last season, successful coach Stefano Pioli’s team made it to the semi-finals – and were once once more defeated by their feared opponents Inter Milan, as they were in the league three weeks ago.
