A time 2-0 lead by Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund managed to reverse the situation at home (3-2) thanks to a side-by-side Achraf Hakimi, taking an important step in the race for qualification behind Barcelona in group F.

This result allows the yellow and black to pass second in the pool (7 pts), to a length of FC Barcelona (8 pts) hooked to Camp Nou by Slavia Prague (0-0). Inter now being third in the group with only 4 points.

Inter had promised to come to Dortmund "to hurt" before the match between the second two of their respective national rankings. The first half was the illustration, the Milanese taking the lead in the fifth minute thanks to a goal from Lautaro Martinez and before doubling the stake through a great phase of collective play materialized by a goal from the midfield Matias Vecino at the 40th.

But then, the BVB imposed his intense game to turn the tide and put a stop to the good momentum of Antonio Conte's team.

Under the leadership of the Italian, the "Nerazzurri" have yet managed to pose as credible rivals of Juventus Turin, a small point of the leader of Turin in Serie A. With an undesirable effect: the constant efforts and pressing claimed by Tale seem to weigh in the legs interistors. Moreover, the Milanese had already dominated in Barcelona in early October before sinking late in the game, overthrown by the Catalans (2-1).

Dortmund then had several chances with Sancho, Witsel or Hazard but Julian Brandt, a young international recruited this summer, brought Borussia back to 2-2 in the 64th minute.

The hundred-year-old German club came back from a distance and began to dominate the debates, winning the duels and depriving Inter of balloons.

Trained at Real Madrid, the young side Hakimi struck again in the 77th minute: he scored another double, his second in the competition after the one against Prague in October.
