(Borussia Dortmund – Ajax 1-3) Borussia Dortmund risks being relegated from the Champions League after a new fade against Ajax – and there is no indication that Erling Braut Haaland (21) can help the team before the new year.
–
The yellow Germans took the lead after 37 minutes by Marco Reus, but with late goals from Dusan Tadic, Sebastian Hallér and Davy Klaassen, the home team once again had to see themselves beaten by Ajax. Injured Erling Braut Haaland had to witness it from the stands, together with, among others, chess world champion Magnus Carlsen.
In his last match before the injury break, it was an even worse loss for Ajax: 0-4, the Dutch won at Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam.
–There are many indications that he will get more matches in the Champions League this season. His father Alfie Haaland confirmed to TV 2 what has been suggested for a long time, the son is most likely out with injury the rest of the year.
– It will be a bonus if he gets some matches before Christmas, but it is quite unlikely, says dad Haaland to TV 2.
Dortmund is in third place in its group with only six points in the first four games. Ajax leads with a full pot, 12 points and secured promotion, while Sporting is in second place, also with six points. Dortmund beat Sporting 1-0 at home and mutual settlement counts in front of goal difference if they end up with the same score.
The next match for the yellow-clad in the Champions League is away against Sporting, before they will face Besiktas at home.
And in Germany, they take it for granted that there will be no promotion for Borussia Dortmund. In the big newspaper Picture front page it says “Dortmund knocked out after silly red cards”.
– It was an absurdly wrong decision, says a shocked Mats Hummels to DAZN, according to Bild, after the match for the red card he incurred against Ajax.
Seven other matches were played in the Champions League on Wednesday:
