Inacio, Reggiani and Mane called up to the Italian national team

Borussia Dortmund players Samuele Inacio, Luca Reggiani and Filippo Mane have been called up to the Italian national team for the first time by interim manager Silvio Baldini. The Azzurri will play two friendly matches in Luxembourg (3 June, 20:45 CEST) and in Greece (7 June, 21:00 CEST).

Samuele Inacio made his professional debut at the end of February in the home match against Bayern Munich and played a total of seven Bundesliga matches in the 2025/26 season. From matchday 29 onwards, the midfielder featured in every game – including four consecutive starts – and scored his first Bundesliga goal against Eintracht Frankfurt. A week later, the 18-year-old signed his first professional contract.

Luca Reggiani (18) made his professional debut in February and has since played eight Bundesliga matches and one in the UEFA Champions League. In March, the centre-back scored his first Bundesliga goal against FC Augsburg and was awarded his first professional contract at the end of the same month.

Filippo Mane has been part of the extended first-team squad for some time and signed a professional contract in 2025. In the first match of the 2025/26 season against FC St. Pauli, he not only made his first-team debut but also his Bundesliga debut, though he was shown a red card towards the end of the match. At the start of the year, the 21-year-old had to sit out due to injury. In total, the centre-back has played four Bundesliga matches to date.

All three players have previously represented Italian youth teams, with Inacio and Reggiani reaching the semi-finals of the U17 World Cup in November 2025. They are now set to make their debuts for the senior national team.

After a three-match absence due to a thigh injury, Marina Scholz returned and replaced Jasmin Jabbes on the right wing. The second change also involved the right flank as Mia Böger came into the starting line-up in place of the injured Jenske Steenwijk.<\/p>\n<h3>The match<\/h3>\nBoth teams started the match energetically and looked to push forward early on. With temperatures hovering just below 30 degrees, Dortmund created the first chances through the lively Rita Schumacher (5th and 6th minutes). The hosts ceded possession to BVB for long periods and relied on aggressive pressing from the halfway line.<\/p>\nThe Black & Yellows posed a constant threat, particularly down the right flank. A cross from Mia Böger hit the crossbar (13), and shortly afterwards a cross from Marina Scholz was cleared at the last second (15). In the 19th minute, BVB deservedly took the lead as Noreen Günnewig pressed determinedly in the penalty area and cut the ball back from the byline to Annika Enderle, who slotted home from close range to make it 1-0. It was also the BVB women\u2019s 100th goal of the season in their 25th match.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/25/frauen-spielbericht/Enderle.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Enderle-1779722764085\"><\/p>\nIn the closing stages of the first half, the Borussia women continued to create chances but initially managed only a few clear-cut opportunities. Enderle narrowly missed the target with a long-range shot (32), before Rita Schumacher made it 2-0 with a fine solo run. After winning the ball on the edge of the Essen penalty area, Dortmund\u2019s top scorer delicately slotted the ball into the far corner (35).<\/p>\nWith the lead established, BVB gradually took control and pushed for a third goal. At the same time, Laura van der Laan was on hand to make a superb save to prevent the opposition from getting a goal back. The teams went into the break with the score at 2-0 after a long period of added time.<\/p>\n<h3>A brace to seal the victory<\/h3>\nAfter the restart, the BVB women defended the hosts\u2019 early set-pieces resolutely and created further chances on the break. As the match progressed, the action shifted increasingly into Essen\u2019s half.  <\/p>\nThe third goal came in the 69th minute as Sara Ito won the ball and launched the next counter-attack through Rita Schumacher. Ronja Leubner\u2019s shot was initially blocked, but Celina Baum, who had come on as a substitute shortly before, pounced on the rebound to score.<\/p>\nJust three minutes later, the roles were reversed as Baum sent Leubner through, and she finished under pressure to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n<h3>Ronja Leubner on a scoring spree<\/h3>\nThe travelling BVB fans were able to cheer again shortly afterwards. Following a free-kick from Melanie Schuster, Frederike Kempe headed the ball down to Ronja Leubner, who scored from close range to make it 5-0 (83).<\/p>\nIn the closing stages, the Black & Yellows stepped up another gear. Following assists from Jasmin Jabbes and Willeke, Leubner scored twice in the 91st and 92nd minutes to complete a hat-trick and seal a 7-0 victory. Despite the high temperatures, the BVB women kept their cool right until the end and earned their reward for a focused and consistent performance with a convincing away win.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/25/frauen-spielbericht/Frauen-Essen-2.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Frauen-Essen-2-1779722583160\"><\/p>\nIn the other match, 1.

These wins, the way they were achieved and the contract extensions for the young players show that we\u2019re heading into next season with courage, confidence and anticipation. When the manager arrived, we were 11th in the table. Now we\u2019re second and want to fine-tune things together so that next year might be even a bit better, although that\u2019s obviously difficult with 73 points. It was the fifth-best season in Borussia Dortmund\u2019s history \u2013 you could even win the German title with that.
