Dortmund against Barcelona: High flight or descent on the Champions League stage?

FC Barcelona had to accept an unexpected 0-1 defeat against Legan in the Spanish league on Sunday. The crucial goal was scored by Sergio Gonzalez in the fourth minute. This defeat comes at an unfavorable time, since Barcelona was able to win a victory in the last six league games and is confronted with the pressure from Real Madrid, which is tied, but has played a game less, such as OE24 reported.

The team of coach Hansi Flick is now under pressure, especially before the highly exciting Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund, which takes place on Wednesday in Signal Iduna Park. Both teams are tied with 12 points, with Dortmund being in seventh place due to the poorer goal difference. Leipzig and Dortmund are undefeated this season in their own stadium, while Barcelona was unable to convince after a strong start to the season in the last games and only won two of the last six competitive games, as EuroSport in detail.

constellations and injury worries

For the encounter against Dortmund, BVB has to deal with injuries. Central defender Niklas Süle is missing again, and Julian Brandt and Maximilian Beier are also not available. Trainer Nuri Sahin surprises with a line -up that brings the young Julien Duranville into the starting eleven after a long break. On the side of Barcelona there will be a return from Gavi and Frenkie de Jong, but the question remains whether they can tear the rudder around with a strong Dortmund team.

The duel between the two teams promises exciting things, because the Dortmund fans hope for a continuation of the winning streak, while Barcelona is striving for an urgently needed victory to master the challenges upcoming in the league. The game will be transferred live to DAZN from 9:00 p.m., which increases the high anticipation for the event.
