Worst-case scenario in the second leg of the Champions League playoffs: Borussia Dortmund is trailing Atalanta Bergamo after less than 20 minutes.
The home team, needing to overcome a 0-2 deficit from the first leg against BVB, scored after just five minutes to take the lead – directly exploiting a well-known Dortmund weakness.
Just like in the Bundesliga match against Leipzig, Dortmund was outplayed on the left defensive side.
After a cross from Bernasconi and an unfortunate clearance attempt by Bensebaini, it was Gianluca Scamacca who was able to slot in for the 1-0 lead.
Even though BVB would still advance as of now, the Black and Yellows should be warned by now. It won't be easy today.
