Borussia Dortmund – the shape of the team and its analysis: the German club cannot be underestimated
“The Yellow and Blacks” certainly gave up at the inner arena. The team quickly flew out of the cup. And, that is the most important, they are now fighting with RB Leipzig for 4th place in the Bundesliga after missing out on the “silver salad bowl” in the last round of the previous cycle. To be more precise, the team is performing, having already capitulated – it devastatingly lost, 1-4, on Saturday, losing and falling behind the opponent. However, the degree of competition will drop, because Germany will most likely send 5 representatives to the next Champions League. Moreover, “the Hornets” still claim to capture the desired European trophy. The club is showing itself worthily in the Champions League: it won a difficult group and beat PSV “as planned” according to the classic scenario: a draw on the away field and a win at the home arena. As for the quarter-finals, there happened a dramatic and strong-willed struggle, when Atlético led with a 2-0 score on the native arena and won back a couple of goals on the away field, but the representative of Germany finally advanced: 1-2 and 4-2.
PSG – the shape of the team and its analysis: it is not very convincing in this tournament, so far
“The Parisians”, after the arrival of investors from Qatar, were focused on winning the Champions League. Still, it was possible, being under the leadership of Tuchel, to reach the final in all this time, only once – and then Bayern won, thanks to the only goal of Coman, a Frenchman who had previously played in the capital of his homeland. Then there were disappointments, including the previous season. There was a risk that this time everything would end after the group stage, fortunately, Milan remained in 3rd place according to additional indicators, with equal points. And Luis Enrique and his current wards were heading towards defeat against his native club, Barcelona, after a couple of victories over Real Sociedad in the 1st round of the play-offs. Still, “the Culés”, which won in Paris and opened the score at the home arena, collapsed after Araújo was sent off.
