+++ update +++
Update from October 21, 7:02 p.m.:
With all the euphoria and anticipation, you almost forget that Borussia will have a special debut in the
Champions League
.
For Marco Rose it is the first appearance in the premier class.
With RB Salzburg, the coach usually failed in a dramatic way.
Now he can prove his skills as a coach on the largest European football stage.
We are curious to see how Rose sends his boys to the field.

Update from October 21, 5.44 p.m.:
Not only Borussia from Mönchengladbach has to complain about a Corona-Fal (Jordan Beyer), Inter also has to do without a not entirely unimportant player.
Newcomer and ex-BVB star Achraf Hakimi was infected with COVID19 and is therefore missing in today's game against Gladbach.
Update from October 21, 4:51 p.m.:
In a few hours, Borussia will finally start again
among
the very big European clubs.
For two years, the Gladbach-based company only watched the Champions League in front of the television, and now they are finally back in the mix.
In the group opponents
Real Madrid
and
Inter Milan
, the team of coach
Marco Rose is
challenged from the first game.
The Italians in particular developed
into a real top European team
under
Antonio Conte
.
Last season they lost the final in the Europa League in a dramatic way against Sevilla FC.
Nevertheless, the Inter-Coach does not see his team as a favorite in the group.
"That we should be the favorites", said the former coach of Juventus and Chelsea: "makes me laugh."

In addition to Inter Milan, Borussia

far ahead
in Europe
", after arriving at the hotel, the coach told his team that "hopefully
dream
of a
win
".

Borussia at Inter Milan in the live ticker: Mönchengladbach has Inter-Insiders in the squad - Italians with Corona failures
With newcomer
Valentino Lazaro,
Gladbach has
a real insider in the team, because the Austrian came to the Lower Rhine on loan from Inter Milan.
“Of course we talked to Tino about Inter.
He was able to partially
confirm
what we as the coaching team recognized,
”said Rose at the press conference for the
Champions League opener
.
However, Lazaro will not intervene.
The newcomer is missing due to his training deficit against his old teammates,
Denis Zakaria
and
Laszlo Benes
are also still in training.
In addition,
Andreas Poulsen
and youngster
Jordan Beyer
, who tested positive for the
corona virus
*,

Inter is also struggling with corona infections *, the derby against
AC Milan
was about to be
canceled
after six failures at the
Nerazzurri
.
In the end, Inter lost 2-1 and screwed up the dress rehearsal before the premier class kick-off.
Is this a good omen for the Rose Troop?
