Overview
The match between Barcelona and Dortmund is considered the most different pair in the Champions League quarter -finals this season. And the results on the pitch proved that.
The army of coach Hansi Flick had an overwhelming match and won 4-0 easily. With this result, the script in the second leg becomes very easy to guess.
In the history of the Champions League, only one team can turn the flag after losing 4 goals in the first leg. It was Barcelona in the 2016-2017 season. However, the current Dortmund was not like Barcelona at that time.
Dortmund has decided a lot compared to them last season. They are ranked 8th in the Bundesliga. Therefore, trying to win tickets to the European Cup is the No. 1 target of Dortmund at this time.
In contrast to the German team, Barcelona is in very high form. In the match last weekend against Leganes, Flick turned the force when he left Pedri, De Jong or Cubarsi to rest. It was the necessary preparation before the second leg, although Blaugrana struggled to beat Leganes.
Before a strong and well -groomed Barcelona, the opportunity for Dortmund to create a great backward is almost impossible. Therefore, the match is more likely to be a walk of the Catalunya team.
After losing in the first leg, Dortmund lost to Barcelona twice in the Champions League this season. Before that was 2-3 defeat at Barca's home field in the League phase phase.
Personnel situation
Like the first leg, Dortmund's Kovac coach will once again be unable to have the service of the duo Marcel Sabitzer and Nico Schlotterbeck due to injury.
On the other side of the battle line, with the advantage of 4 goals ahead, Barcelona may choose to change the squad for the second leg. However, Alejandro Balde, who was injured in the bold in the match against Leganes, would not be able to play.
Expected squad:
Dortmund: Kobel, Ryerson, Can, Anton, Bensebaini, Gross, Chukwuemeka, Adeyememi, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens, Guirassy.
Barcelona: Szczesny, Kounte, Cubars, Inigo Martinez, Martin, De Jong, Pedri, Yamal, Torres, Raphinha, Lewandowski.
The match between Dortmund and Barcelona took place at 2:00 am on April 16 (Vietnam time).
