Rapid Bucharest, failure in the match against Borussia Dortmund

Rapid Bucharest is the host of the tournament, which will take place on December 10 at the National Arena in Bucharest, which also features Borussia Dortmund Fiorentina.

The first leg came against Borussia Dortmund and Adi Mutu’s side conceded after just 12 minutes when Ole Pohlmann opened the scoring. Alexandru Ionice restored the tie with a beautiful jump (min. 27), but the Germans made a coup through the footballer Giovanni Reina, estimated by Transfermarkt at 35 million euros.
