Borussia Dortmund has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League once in the past six years. There is a good chance that it will succeed again this year. The starting position is good. The Westphalians won the round of 16 of the first leg against Chelsea 1-0.
Besides winning the first leg, there are other reasons for optimism in the BVB camp. The club is undefeated this year. In fact, he won all ten games in all competitions, eight of which were in the Bundesliga. This is a club record. Eleven years ago – during the successful Klopp era – this feat was already achieved. At the end of the 2011/12 season, the team finally won the double.
Borussia started the year with two resounding victories against Augsburg and Mainz. But after that, Edin Terzić’s team stabilized. Julian Brandt symbolizes the revival. The offensive artist has scored four goals and two assists this calendar year. He played a major role in the fact that black and yellow would suddenly be able to take the championship title.
Will Kobel be in goal against Chelsea?
Before the start of the second half of the season, Bayern Munich was nine points behind. Dortmund now leads with as many points as their great rival from the south. If BVB lost a lead time and time again in the past, it has caught up a lot this time. A psychological advantage? In three rounds – on April 1 – there will be a direct duel. Until then, however, a sensation should arise in the Champions League. Because even in this competition, football connoisseurs have a lot of confidence in Dortmund.
First, however, the plagued Chelsea must be eliminated. Despite the small lead, BVB expects hard work at Stamford Bridge (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker). It is also unclear whether goalkeeper Gregor Kobel is part of the match. It is true that he traveled to London. But whether it will actually be used will only be decided shortly before the start of the match. In his place, as against RB Leipzig at the weekend, Alexander Meyer is ready.
