Champions League, Borussia Dortmund | Good starting point for Ryerson and Borussia Dortmund after victory against PSG

BORUSSIA DORTMUND-PSG 1-0

The Norwegian is 90 minutes away from the Champions League final with his German club after a strong 1-0 win at home against the Parisians.

Niclas Füllkrug sent Dortmund into the lead before the break with a perfect shot hard down the ground. It was also the match-winning score.

By and large, Ryerson put in a good effort and proof of that became apparent after half-time in the second half when the PSG manager picked an invisible Bradley Barcola off the field. The 21-year-old achieved very little on Dortmund’s right. It was something TV 2’s commentator Jesper Mathisen noticed.

– Undressed by Ryerson, Mathisen said when the Frenchman was replaced.

– He has played his biggest match in his career and it is not far from the best either, Mathisen said just before the end after another good sequence by the Norwegian.

– It was a tough match. A victory that gives us a good starting point, says Ryerson to TV 2 after the match. The Norwegian was a little unhappy that the team did not get an even bigger victory.

Ten minutes before the end, former Dortmund player Ousmane Dembélé had a huge chance, but he put the shot from 12-13 meters over the crossbar.

– It is gigantic. You are unlikely to get a better chance, says Mathisen.

Also reviled Jadon Sancho did a good game on the right wing for Dortmund. The Englishman kept up with several good dribbles and was generally a threat throughout the match. Sancho returned to Dortmund on loan from Manchester United in January after a tough spell in England, where he ended up in the cold after falling out with Erik ten Hag.

Wednesday’s performance also raised eyebrows among English journalists.

– What was strange about Sancho at United from his first start against Wolves was how often he slowed down the game. He rarely played at full strength and operated in the same manner as Berbatov. Tonight it was his turn and the directness he has tonight is the player Manchester United thought they got, writes Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst on X.
