Borussia Dortmund 1-Manchester City 2 | Without Haaland there is no Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund was about to prolong Pep Guardiola's drought in the Champions League. A decade after playing his last Orejona, at that time as Barcelona coach, the Spanish coach's City rallied in western Germany to win 1-2 and, for the first time in the Santpedor era in Manchester, qualify for the semifinals of the top continental competition.

In the run-up to the final in Istanbul he will face Neymar's PSG, player who came to train at Can Barça and who will be more of a threat than a Haaland that, very unlike the eighth against Sevilla, did not appear and has four consecutive games without scoring.

Hummels and Reus did arrive on time. They could not miss the appointment no matter how many headdresses they were. And the ones in black and yellow were pure passion. Dortmund's heart beat to the rhythm of the more than 80,000 Borussen who would have filled Signal Iduna Park on a night like this Wednesday. City felt uncomfortable with the spirit of a BVB that was aware that it could be one of the afternoons in history. It started out being it. Thanks a 17 year old boy who played like he was 27. Bellingham was in all of them. He intercepted, built and, at the same time, marked. Half falling, the English pearl of BVB placed a ball in the squad that erased the smile from Pep's face.

But his City followed his. De Bruyne smashed the leather into the stick in one of the many Mancunian approaches to the Hitz-protected frame. They brushed against both over and over again. Until a clearance by Can bounced off his hand and, in this way, forced Del Cerro Grande to signal a penalty. It was Mahrez who was in charge of executing and not forgiving, forcing Borussia to challenge the epic. I try. Until the end. Hummels had it. Reyna entered for Knauff. 18 by 19 years of age. Always faithful to the youth. But it was not enough. Foden sentenced before the incredulous look of a Haaland that disappeared when the BVB needed it most.

Jude Bellingham became the youngest player in Borussia Dortmund history to score a Champions League goal after his right hand that made it 1-0 against Manchester City. At just 17 years and 289 days old, the English BVB player is also the second youngest player to score in the top continental competition. Only Bojan, a former FC Barcelona player, is above Bellingham after scoring in the Champions League at 17 years and 217 days.
