U19 the outsiders against Madrid: "We have nothing to lose"

The Black & Yellows talented youngsters are gearing up for one of the highlights of their nascent careers: Borussia Dortmund's U19s are playing away to Real Madrid in the UEFA Youth League at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano on Tuesday (22 October, 16:00 CEST live on DAZN).

"This will be a great experience and a big sporting challenge for our young team. Real also has an exceptional team at youth level," says coach Mike Tullberg. With four points from the first two games against Club Brugge (1-1) and Celtic (4-0), his players are placed ninth in the table and on course for a place in the round of 16. After their 1-0 opening win against VfB Stuttgart, the elite team from the Spanish metropolis suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat at OSC Lille and are in 20th place in the table. The two teams are meeting for the sixth time in the Youth League and have an even record: both sides have won twice, with one draw, while eleven goals have been scored and conceded on both ends.

"Madrid are determined to win the UEFA Youth League this season," says Tullberg, who has spoken to VfB Stuttgart U19 coach Nico Willig. "He told me about the difference in class in the game at Real," revealed the BVB coach. The defeat against a very strong Lille side," was a slip-up. The Spaniards are taking the clash with the Black & Yellows extremely seriously and rested their entire squad in the match against Fuenlabrada at the weekend. They have won all seven games in the league so far with a goal difference of 26 scored and four conceded

Mike Tullberg, for his part, is working on a line-up that can stand up to Madrid. He proudly points to the fact that Borussia Dortmund, with an average age of 16.8 years, has been the youngest of all participating U19 teams in the new DFB Youth League so far, and BVB are ranked fifth in the same metric for the UEFA Youth League. "But it's also about having quality on the pitch at European level. Despite the very positive overall development, we still lack stability," he notes.

UEFA regulation causing headaches

His youngsters showed flashes of their exceptional footballing talent in the 3-3 derby draw against Schalke 04, particularly in the first half, but also squandered a 3-1 lead and paid the price for silly mistakes. Mike Tullberg is therefore hoping for one or two reinforcements "from above", which will depend on the composition of the first team's matchday squad, in which Almugera Kabar, Cole Campbell and Kjell Wätjen were recently included. He is most likely to be able to count on defensive lynchpin Filippo Mane.

To make matters worse for the U19s, UEFA regulations stipulate that 14 squad places are reserved exclusively for players who have been with the club for at least two years. This means that Tullberg is not allowed to include some of the players who have move to BVB in this timeframe (including Luca Reggiani, Samuele Inacio, Thierry Tidjeu-Tazemeta, Taycan Ectibasi, Nick Cherny, Mathis Albert, Luca Riedl, Ousmane Diallo and Pharell Kegni).

"That doesn't make things any easier, especially as we've also lost players who have been in training, like Paris Brunner, Charles Herrmann and Fritz Fleck. We're the clear underdogs, we have nothing to lose and we are flying to Madrid in good spirits. We've already surprised everyone in the Youth League after all," said Tullberg.

The refereeing team are from Poland and will be led by Damian Kos.

Both attacked high and the two sides gave each other hardly any air to breathe in the first 30 minutes.

After a one-two with Guirassy, Chukwuemeka took aim from an acute angle, but his shot hit the side netting in the 21st minute. Shortly afterwards, Can earned the chance to open the scoring as a result of some high pressing, which caused Freiburg to lose the ball in their half, but his shot from 17 metres was not accurate or powerful enough on 24 minutes. After exactly half an hour, the Black & Yellows were rewarded for their courageous performance: Couto struck a free kick from the right side into the box, Bensebaini chested the ball down and prodded it over the line to make it 1-0 in the 31st minute. Even though BVB was clearly in the driver\u2019s seat, Freiburg consistently looked dangerous on the counter, and shortly before the break, Günter had his side\u2019s third and best chance to score an equaliser, but the hosts\u2019 captain fired horribly wide in the 45th minute.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/12/14/bl-spielbericht/14-Freiburg-4.jpg\" data-assetref=\"14-Freiburg-4-1765726122396\"><\/p>\nEight minutes after the restart, Jobe Bellingham saw a red card.

It was Bellingham\u2019s first foul in the game. Günter fired the resulting free kick just past the left-hand post.<\/p>\nBVB responded to going a man down by bringing on Pascal Groß for Fabio Silva, and had hardly any extended periods of possession thereafter. The match took place almost entirely in the Dortmund half. Kobel brilliantly tipped a follow-up shot from Treu around the post in the 69th minute, and also showed strong reactions to save Suzuki\u2019s shot, which had taken a wicked deflection off Bensebaini, in the 74th minute. But 60 seconds later, Freiburg were celebrating the equaliser Höler did well to get on the end of Günter\u2019s cross and finished brilliantly, finding the far post. Freiburg had 11 shots to BVB\u2019s 0 after the red card and thought they'd made it 2-1, but Matanovic\u2019s goal did not count as he was ruled offside on 86 minutes.<\/p>\nOutlook:<\/b>   \nIn the last game of 2025, Borussia Dortmund will face Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday (kick-off: 20:30 CET).

Even though BVB was clearly in the driver\u2019s seat, Freiburg consistently looked dangerous on the counter, and shortly before the break, Günter had his side\u2019s third and best chance to score an equaliser, but the hosts\u2019 captain fired horribly wide in the 45th minute.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/12/14/bl-spielbericht/14-Freiburg-4.jpg\" data-assetref=\"14-Freiburg-4-1765726122396\"><\/p>\nEight minutes after the restart, Jobe Bellingham saw a red card. After a risky pass from Kobel, the Englishman tried to put his body in the way 19 metres out in front of his own goal, but caught Treu, who was bursting forward at pace, and was given his marching orders by referee Zwayer for preventing a clear goalscoring opportunity. It was Bellingham\u2019s first foul in the game. Günter fired the resulting free kick just past the left-hand post.<\/p>\nBVB responded to going a man down by bringing on Pascal Groß for Fabio Silva, and had hardly any extended periods of possession thereafter. The match took place almost entirely in the Dortmund half. Kobel brilliantly tipped a follow-up shot from Treu around the post in the 69th minute, and also showed strong reactions to save Suzuki\u2019s shot, which had taken a wicked deflection off Bensebaini, in the 74th minute. But 60 seconds later, Freiburg were celebrating the equaliser Höler did well to get on the end of Günter\u2019s cross and finished brilliantly, finding the far post. Freiburg had 11 shots to BVB\u2019s 0 after the red card and thought they'd made it 2-1, but Matanovic\u2019s goal did not count as he was ruled offside on 86 minutes.<\/p>\nOutlook:<\/b>   \nIn the last game of 2025, Borussia Dortmund will face Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday (kick-off: 20:30 CET). They will continue in the new year on 9 January in Frankfurt. Both games can be seen live not only on Sky, but also on Sat.1 [Germany]. \nBoris Rupert<\/i><\/p>\nTeams & goals<\/b><\/p>\nFootball Bundesliga, Matchday 14 \n<\/b>Sunday, 14 December 2025, 15:30 CET<\/p>\n SC FREIBURG \u2013 BORUSSIA DORTMUND 1-1 (0-1)<\/b><\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2025/12/14/bl-spielbericht/14-Grafik.jpg\" data-assetref=\"14-Grafik-1765726064376\"><\/p>\nSC Freiburg:<\/b> Atubolu \u2013 Kübler, Ginter, Jung \u2013 Treu, Eggestein, Osterhage, Günter \u2013 Manzambi, Suzuki \u2013 Höler \n Bor.
