Borussia Dortmund are clear underdogs within the Champions Association last against 14-time victors Genuine Madrid but the Germans’ shock European run this season has been in sharp differentiate to their rollercoaster residential campaigns.
Edin Terzic’s Borussia Dortmund, hungry for a second Champions League title after their 1997 triumph, had a disappointing Bundesliga campaign, finishing fifth. However, in Europe, they have found greater consistency, achieving a significantly higher win rate in the Champions League (10% more) than in their domestic league.

Dortmund kept six clean sheets in 12 Champions Alliance matches this season, tallying on solid protection and fast breaks. These clean sheets included both elimination round legs against Paris St Germain with Dortmund winning 2-0 in total.

Terzic has set up his group in Europe with, at times, five protectors, giving a strong backline as the establishment of their diversion. Central protectors Mats Hummels and Nico Schlotterbeck have been in marvelous shape in later months and the latter was included in Germany’s Euro 2024 squad. That will be key for Dortmund alongside speedy moves given by expedient wingers Jadon Sancho and Karim Adeyemi attempting to extend the Genuine protection.
Their pace down the wings will be significant in Dortmund’s counter-attacks, knowing that Genuine will have a greater share of ownership and the Germans will hold up to carve out chances on the break. Terzic believes the attacking duo of Adeyemi and Sancho can create valuable space on the field for the team’s leading striker in the Champions League, Niclas Fuellkrug, who has already proven his prowess with three goals in the competition this season.

Fuellkrug’s part, in any case, is far from fair scoring, with the burly Germany forward frequently dragging rivals with him and permitting colleagues openings. It comes as no shock that 12 distinctive Dortmund players have scored at slightest one objective within the Champions Alliance this season.
“I say ‘Don’t play the event, play the game’,” Terzic said. “My point isn’t to undertake out modern things or to overcoach. But to utilize the encounters we made this season and say which encounter fits this amusement.
“For the line-up, we still have a few training sessions to see who will demonstrate themselves. But we know that our substitutions can have an influence,” he said. Among those likely to be on the seat but anticipated to come on is departing veteran Marco Reus.
“It will not be great sufficient to have a beginning line-up and trust the fellows will do it. In this amusement we got to check on the whole quality of the total squad,” Terzic said.
