 In the 2009–10 Bundesliga season, Subotić was one of only four players in the entire league to play every minute of every league match.On 15 December 2010, Subotić scored his first ever goal in the European competition, scoring a header off a corner at Sevilla in the Europa League to tie the score at 2–2.The match was a decider on which of the two teams would go on from the group stage, as Borussia needed to win away while Sevilla was fine even with a draw.
