Youth League: Milan too strong for BVB

Young Rossoneri ease past Borussia Dortmund to reach semi-finals

Milan's youngsters continued their impressive run in the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday, as they eased past Borussia Dortmund 3-0 to reach the semi-finals.

The Rossoneri were in control from the start, and they took the lead in the 15th minute when Lorenzo Colombo fired home from close range. Emil Roback doubled Milan's lead just before the break, and Marko Lazetic made sure of the victory with a third goal in the second half.

Borussia Dortmund never really threatened to get back into the game, and Milan could have won by an even bigger margin had they been more clinical in front of goal. As it was, they were comfortable winners, and they will now face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.

Milan's dominance in the Youth League

Milan's victory over Borussia Dortmund was their fifth in a row in the Youth League, and they have now scored 15 goals without conceding in those five games.

The Rossoneri are one of the most successful clubs in the history of the Youth League, and they will be confident of adding to their tally this season. They have a talented squad full of players who are destined for great things, and they will be a threat to any team they face.

Borussia Dortmund's disappointment

Borussia Dortmund will be disappointed to have been knocked out of the Youth League at this stage, but they can take some solace from the fact that they gave a good account of themselves against a very strong Milan side.

The German club had their chances in the game, but they were unable to take them. Milan were simply too strong on the day, and they deserved to progress to the semi-finals.

What's next?

Milan will now face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the Youth League. The first leg of that tie will be played on April 25th, with the second leg taking place on May 2nd.

Borussia Dortmund will now turn their attention to the domestic season. They are currently second in the Bundesliga, and they will be hoping to push Bayern Munich all the way for the title.
