Frustration at BVB after a draw against Lille: Sabitzer under criticism!

The UEFA Champions League caused frustration for Borussia Dortmund when they were unable to get past a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their round of 16 tie against LOSC Lille. Despite a strong first half in which BVB dominated, the Black and Yellows switched to management mode after half-time and allowed the French to score the equalizer. According to the analysis by Sports1 The equalizer was due to a crucial mistake by Marcel Sabitzer, who sprinted forward aimlessly and over-motivated, leaving space for the attacking Lille players.

Expert Benedikt Höwedes made it clear that Sabitzer's failed action was directly linked to the goal conceded. He did not adequately defend himself against the opponent and blindly fell out of position. Sabitzer's performance was rated extremely critically with a grade of five. The reporting by Laola1 supported this harsh criticism and described his performance as unremarkable, but also pointed out that statistically he had a pass rate of 89 percent.

Fans' impression and consequences

The BVB fans were disappointed after the game and expressed their displeasure by whistling, but quickly switched to cheering to support their team. The team will have to put in a lot of effort in the second leg in Lille next week if they want to progress to the next round of the Champions League. However, the comments about Sabitzer's performance could raise questions about his role in the team, especially after such critical assessment of his performance in a crucial international competition.
