Borussia Dortmund Vs Inter Milan – Star Striker Partnership To Lead Attack In Crucial Champions League Clash | OneFootball

Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram will reportedly lead the line in Wednesday’s showdown between Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu grasps the importance of tomorrow’s UEFA Champions League blockbuster.

Despite winning their opening four European fixtures under the 45-year-old manager, Inter are at risk of missing out on a top-eight finish.

Indeed, three consecutive defeats have derailed the Nerazzurri’s hopes of securing automatic qualification for the Round of 16.

Therefore, the upcoming clash at Signal Iduna Park has all the makings of a ‘must-win’ affair for the Serie A leaders.

Although Francesco Pio Esposito fared outstandingly against Pisa, Cristian Chivu is likely to bench the Italian prodigy.

Instead, he will put his side’s fate into the hands of Lautaro and Thuram.

El Toro has been excellent in the Champions League this term, netting four goals in six matches.

On the other hand, Thuram has struggled for form since returning from injury in November.
