46' | Handanovic gets down well and makes an important save from close range to deny Sancho |

44' | Yellow card for Brozovic after a cross hits him on the arm. The Nerazzurri players protest the decision but to no avail |

36' | Candreva tries to find Lautaro in the centre of the area: El Toro tangles with Akanji and goes down but referee Taylor waves play on |

25' | That was Lautaro's fifth goal in his last four matches and his second goal in the UEFA Champions League this season following his strike at the Camp Nou |

19' | Candreva recieves the ball and cuts back inside to deliver a cross into the area: Lautaro strecthes as he tries to replicate the splendid goal he scored against Atletico Madrid but the ball is just too high for him! |
16' | Hazard crosses towards the centre of the area but De Vrij is alert and clears the danger |
13' | Scrappy match here in the opening minutes: Both teams are compact and denying the other space to play |
10' | Asamoah crosses and Gagliardini goes for the acrobatic effort, but can't connect with the ball |
5' | Candreva takes the free kick: he plays the ball low and hard and it goes all the way through the area. Nobody was able to get a touch on it and it goes out for a goal kick |
4' | Interplay between Lautaro and Lukaku results in the ball hitting Hummel's arm. Free kick in a dangerous position |
1' | And we are underway: Dortmund get us started here at San Siro. FORZA INTER! |

28' | Favre is going for it now: he brings on Larsen for Akanji, an attacker replacing a defender |
27' | Lautaro controls the ball in a tight space and shoots from the edge of the area: Burki saves and its another corner to Inter! |
25' | Great play by Conte's boys! Candreva feeds Gagliardini in the box who puts in a dangerous cross which the Dortmund defence have to scramble behind for a corner. San Siro show their appreciation! |

Borussia Dortmund and Inter last faced in the European Cup in April 1964 in the semi-final, with Inter progressing on aggregate and going on to win the final.
Borussia Dortmund have only conceded two goals in their last eight UEFA Champions League group stage matches, keeping clean sheets in seven of those matches.
Borussia Dortmund have won three of their five away UEFA Champions League matches (W3 D0 L2) under Lucien Favre, one more in their previous 10 under Jürgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel and Peter Bosz combined (W2 D2 L6).
In their 2-0 win over Slavia Prague, Achraf Hakimi (20y 332d) became the fourth Borussia Dortmund player aged under-21 to score for the club in the UEFA Champions League since the start of last season – more than any other team in that time.
Inter manager Antonio Conte’s debut in the Champions League as a player was against Borussia Dortmund for Juventus in September 1995, scoring Juventus’ third goal in a 3-1 win.
Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho could become the 52nd player to make 10 UEFA Champions League appearances as a teenager if he plays in this game, but only the fourth Englishman, after Theo Walcott (17), Trent Alexander-Arnold (12) and Jack Wilshere (11).
Internazionale and Borussia Dortmund last met in the quarter-final of the 1993-94 UEFA Cup – Inter won 4-3 on aggregate on their way to winning the trophy that year.
Inter are winless in six UEFA European matches against German opposition (W0 D1 L5) since a 3-2 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League in March 2011.
Inter's Nicolò Barella could become the fourth player to score in each of his first two European Cup/Champions League home matches for the Nerazzurri, after Roberto Boninsegna (1971), Alessandro Altobelli (1980) and Mauro Icardi (2018).
Antonio Conte has never lost a home UEFA Champions League group stage match (W4 D6 L0) across spells at Juventus, Chelsea and Inter. The only managers to take charge of more without losing are Frank Rijkaard (12) and Josef Heynckes (11).
