#3 Achraf Hakimi's wakeup call

The first half for Dortmund was, kindly put, forgettable. The likes of Mario Gotze, Thorgan Hazard, and Julian Brandt struggled to put together a sequence of passing that would remotely trouble Inter's defence. Witsel struggled to get on the ball and was sent on wild chases by the diminutive Barella.

Achraf Hakimi sent out a very effective wakeup call in the second half starting a move and finishing it with Dortmund's first goal to kickstart what would be a brilliant comeback. Hakimi's movement and ability to grab the game by the scruff of the neck has been evident in Dortmund's last few games. In this one, he did it once again, not only pushing his side but himself scoring two on the night, including the winner to put Dortmund in a promising position for qualification from the group.
