At least one person was allowed to cheer at the end of the game…
Ten Borussia stars are on an international trip with their nations. For most people it’s about taking part in the European Championship in Germany in 2024. Maximilian Wöber (25) missed early qualification with Austria.

The “Red Eagles” lost the top game in Group F against Belgium 2:3 (0:1). The team of national coach Ralf Rangnick (65) was the dominant team throughout the game, but was punished coldly by the mercilessly effective Belgians in the first 60 minutes.
When ex-Bundesliga star Dodi Lukebakio made it 0-1, the interaction between Wöber and defense colleague Lienhart didn’t look good. Lukebakio got the ball and was able to use his speed advantage over Freiburg to put the “Red Devils” in the lead (12th). A deflected indirect free kick from Lukebakio (55th) and a successful counterattack via Lukaku (58th). Austria’s mortgage increases to 0:3.

In the last 30 minutes, the Austrians started to catch up in front of their home crowd and came within 2:3 thanks to goals from Laimer (72′) and Sabitzer (84’/hand penalty). However, it wasn’t enough for more. Compared to previous weeks, Wöber played a weak game as a left-back in the back four and was substituted in the 71st minute.
In contrast, Luca Netz (20) celebrated a successful comeback with the U21 to qualify for the 2025 European Championship. After falling behind early on, in which Netz didn’t look good, Antonio di Salvo’s team (44) won against Bulgaria thanks to Dortmund’s hat-trick Moukoko 3:2 (1:1). Offensively, Netz shone with precise crosses – like before the 3-1 to Knauff – and with strong set pieces.
Borussia shooting star Rocco Reitz (21) sat on the bench for 90 minutes. So he still has to wait for his U-21 debut. Ko Itakura (26) was also left out of Japan’s 4-1 win against Canada.
Young national goalkeeper Tiago Pereira Cardoso (17) also did not play in Luxembourg’s 1-1 draw with Iceland. Yvandro Borges Sanches (19) had already had to leave due to injury.
