Jude Bellingham (4.5/10)

Bellingham started the game in a promising manner but then gave away a penalty after handling the ball inside the box. He worked hard for the team but his decision making and positioning wasn’t always the best.

Mahmoud Dahoud (5/10)

Dahoud wasn’t as involved in the attacking play, with Terzic using him in the slightly deeper number six role once again. He was often left isolated in midfield as Bellingham ventured forward to join the attack. Not having Delaney in the team as the defensive shield was a bad idea, as Ondrej Duda caused the Dortmund defence all sorts of problems. Dahoud did have a few promising moments, but was kept quiet for the majority of the 90 minutes.

Julian Brandt (3/10)

Brandt had a woeful first half, giving the ball away 14 times despite touching the ball just 38 times. He did not come back after the break, as Youssoufa Moukoko came on to replace him. It was a disappointing performance from Brandt, who also lost the majority of his duels and looked flat for the majority of the time he spent on the pitch.
