Our prediction for the match Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona
The Germans already compensated for their failures at the inner arena last season by playing in the European competition. Then they lost the race to RB Leipzig for 4th place in the Bundesliga. Nevertheless, they reached the final, where Real turned out to be stronger, in the Champions League. After that, Nuri Şahin replaced Terzić. Still, the specialist himself was fired in the middle of winter. However, Niko Kovač is far from returning his new wards to the quartet of leaders (although the results have improved under the leadership of the Croatian mentor). Well, Xavi was removed in Barcelona a little less than a year ago. That was the result of the fact that there was not a single trophy that season. Being under the rule of Flick, the state of things is much more optimistic: the Spanish Super Cup was won, Atletico was beaten in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey thanks to an away victory, and the team managed to break away from Real in the Primera.
As for the Champions League, the Germans confidently overcame the main round, winning 5 matches (although it was after a 1-2 score in the struggle with Bologna that Şahin was replaced). Being already under the leadership of Kovač, Sporting was overcome in the play-offs (a 3-0 success in Lisbon and a 0-0 draw at the home arena), and then Lille was beaten (a strong-willed 2-1 result in France after a draw on the home field). Yamal and the company started the tournament by losing with 10 footballers in the battle against Monaco. Still, then the team finished the meeting with Atalanta with a draw in the previous round – 2-2. And there were no problems with Benfica in March: a 1-0 achievement in Portugal (with a man down) and a 3-1 victory on the native field.
The teams that had already played in Catalonia in December competed again. It seemed like the Germans were trying to show something there. Still, the final score of 4-0 in favour of the Catalans was generally fair, because the club was clearly stronger. And Lewandowski scored twice against his former teammates.
