Solid winner of Newcastle (2-0), Borussia Dortmund temporarily took the lead in its group in the Champions League.
It was Dortmund who took advantage. While the two teams faced each other this Tuesday for the provisional first place in Group F, while waiting for Milan-PSG, Borussia got the better of Newcastle (2-0), and took control of the group, at less temporarily.
Two weeks after its victory on English soil, the BvB confirmed its ascendancy over the Magpies with this new success. Dominant in the first period, the Germans made the difference with their 30-year-old scorer, Niclas Fullkrug, who scored the first goal of his career in the Champions League on a cross from Marcel Sabitzer (1-0, 26th). In the second half, a dazzling counterattack concluded by Julian Brandt (2-0, 79th) definitively crucified the visitors.

Winner of PSG on the 2nd day, Newcastle completely lost the benefit of this success with these two defeats against Dortmund. The Magpies find themselves on an unfavorable waiver before traveling to the Parc des Princes in three weeks.
Conversely, in this group which was announced to be very open, Dortmund poses as a very serious candidate for qualification, and why not for first place in the group. Especially since the BvB will host PSG on the last day, which could offer a very dangerous trip to Luis Enrique’s men…
