Post-Match Report

Reactions: “We didn’t play forward enough”

Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck spoke about the 2-0 defeat at home to Inter Milan. Here are their initial reactions to the match.

Nico Schlotterbeck (on DAZN): “We didn’t play forward enough and didn’t create enough clear chances. Inter didn’t have much either. They had the free kick and then they played like an Italian team do, calmly seeing it out.”

Emre Can (on DAZN): “It’s always bitter when you concede a late goal to fall 1-0 down. It wasn’t our best game today. Nevertheless, we didn’t allow them many chances, but in the end Inter looked the more mature side and deserved to win.” (br)

In 2024, the club from Lombardy won the UEFA Europa League, preventing German double winners Bayer Leverkusen from achieving a treble. Last season, the club were knocked out in the play-offs. With four wins (2-1 against Club Brugge, 1-0 in Marseille, 3-0 in Frankfurt, 2-1 against Chelsea), one draw (0-0 against Prague) and three defeats (4-0 in Paris, 3-2 against Bilbao, 1-0 at Union Saint-Gilloise), head coach Raffaele Palladino's team (in office since November 2025) finished the league phase just ahead of BVB in 15th place.<\/p>\nBorussia Dortmund and Atalanta faced each other eight years ago in the round of 32 of the 2017/2018 UEFA Europa League. At SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, BVB came from 2-1 down to win 3-2 thanks to goals from Michy Batshuayi (65/90+1).But in a snowstorm in Bergamo, Marcel Schmelzer poked the ball over the line in the 83rd minute to make it 1-1 and secure a somewhat fortunate progression for BVB. Now, the 43rd and 44th European matches against Italian teams are coming up. The record from the last 11 encounters (three wins, four draws, four defeats) is close to balanced. It promises to be a contest between two evenly-matched sides.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/01/30/ucl-auslosung/72-Schmelzer-Bergamo.jpg\" data-assetref=\"72-Schmelzer-Bergamo-1769772342820\"><\/p>\nUEFA will announce the exact kick-off times<\/b> for the 16 play-off matches shortly.
