Borussia Dortmund wins convincingly in the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo with a 2-0 victory. The BVB stars in the BVBWLD individual player ratings.

Gregor Kobel: Had a largely quiet evening and was hardly seriously tested. When things did get dangerous, he was alert and ready. He also impressed with clean build-up play and great vision. Overall, a confident performance without major highlights. Grade: 3.

Waldemar Anton: Made a positional error early on, but improved significantly afterwards. Organized the defense, won many duels, and directed his young teammate. Offensively, he could have scored with a header but missed the chance. All in all, a strong performance from the defensive leader. Grade: 2.

Luca Reggiani: Saw yellow early, but remained remarkably calm. Played very composed for his age and usually opted for the simple, safe solution. Despite being on a booking, he appeared stable and focused. An overall mature performance on the big stage. Grade: 3.

Ramy Bensebaini: Delivered a focused and uncompromising performance in the back three. Went into tackles decisively and cleared attentively several times. This time, he did not show any uncertainties. An overall stable showing. Grade: 3.

Julian Ryerson: Once again delivered a perfect cross for the early lead. Was alert defensively and repeatedly joined the attack effectively. His set pieces constantly created danger. Currently one of Dortmund's most in-form players. Grade: 2.

Jobe Bellingham: Worked hard off the ball and closed down numerous spaces. As the game progressed, he gained confidence and distributed the ball smartly. His performance was rather inconspicuous but effective. A reliable showing in the center. Grade: 3.

Felix Nmecha: Brought dynamism and structure to the midfield. His precise through ball set up the 2-0, and he also impressed with pace and vertical play. Was present in the duels and kept driving the game forward. One of the strongest players on the pitch. Grade: 2.

Daniel Svensson: Tirelessly ran up and down his side. Defensively alert with important interventions at the right moment. Offensively, there is still room for improvement. Overall, a solid performance. Grade: 3.

Julian Brandt: Kept getting involved in the game with clever passes. His through ball to Beier was strong, but overall he lacked the final touch in finishing. Worked hard and showed commitment in duels. A decent but not outstanding performance. Grade: 3.

Maximilian Beier: Rewarded his hard work with the goal to make it 2-0. Was constantly on the move and put pressure on the defense. In some situations, he could have finished even more decisively. Overall, a committed and effective performance. Grade: 2.
