Sporting Situation Before the Second Leg
Borussia Dortmund enters the match with a 2-0 lead from the first leg. However, the situation remains open. The stadium in Bergamo is known for being compact, and the atmosphere is intense.
Defensively, Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Süle are still out due to injuries. Filippo Mané is also likely unavailable. Offensively, Maximilian Beier’s participation is questionable due to muscle problems.
The two teams have faced each other three times so far. Dortmund won two matches, and one ended in a draw.
