Inter Milan 2-0 Borussia Dortmund: Five men who were impressive for the Nerazurri | Champions League 2019/20

#4 Stefan de Vrij

Stefan de Vrij was rock solid at the back

The Dutchman has been impressive as a part of a back three under Antonio Conte and continued his stellar run against Dortmund. Stefan de Vrij was rock-solid at the heart of the Inter Milan defense and he marshaled his backline to near perfection. He ensured that the visitors were effectively shut out of the game, allowing them just 2 shots on target on the night. His composure and discipline were key to the outcome of the game.

De Vrij had 109 touches of the ball, the highest in the game, and also registered a game-high 96 passes with 94 % success rate. He attempted 3 tackles with a 100% success rate and did not put a foot wrong all night at the back. And in the 22nd minute, he helped carve out the breakthrough goal of the game.

He spotted Martinez’s run from the deep and churned out the perfect long ball to the Argentinean, who scored to give Inter Milan the lead.
