Dortmund are starting to look a decent team again. Kamada is a good signing for them.
I throughly enjoy CL and EL these days from a German perspective. It's fun watching new teams that were originally midtable making upsets keep up with the big names nowadays. Consecutively qualifying for knockouts, even winning int. titles now. Bundesliga is looking vey optimistic at the moment, unfortunately it will not last given that the PL teams will just buy out all the overperforming teams over the next 2-3 years again, but I am starved on this front, so I enjoy it for as long as I can.
Issue with Dortmund is always going to be their defending tbh.

as with almost any German team.
Defending happens high up the pitch, means we score more, we also concede more.
How did Union Berlin's style become a thing?
Agreed, they don't look at the level and a team with 10+ losses so far shouldn't be a consideration to. But this is CL football, and they will put everything into that one game for pride sake alone. A bit like us when with Koeman and PSG away, where we didn't have the level but pushed them for much of the match. Missed the pen, etc.
Luis Diaz will be back by then. The only other thing that could effect their form is Atleti (lol) beating them and putting LaLiga to bed, or ourselves winning the first leg of CdR in Madrid.
Am I the only one who thinks that Liverpool will manage an epic comeback on Bernabeu? I have a similar feeling than before the PSG remontada.
Liverpool are gaining the momentum, they have the quality and are more than capable to score at least three goals to this Real side. If Juve and Chelsea managed to score three there in the past seasons, then Liverpool can too. They scored 7 against an uprising United who had been in great form before the match on Anfield.
