CL Quarter Final: Borussia - Barca 3-5 agg.

[FCBfan22]

Full strength nah but people need to realize this is still UCL quarter finals 2nd leg

2 quick dortmund goals, momentum and amtosphere on their side - if we have no structure, things will get scary

Discipline is needed. Without discipline it's not hard to score 4 against Flick's team, as much as I appreciate his system. That's why we'll need disciplined players on the pitch, fully focused and alarmed.

This. Make it 0-2 or 1-3 and then sub around 60th minute.

I would just bench Lewa with Ferran because pressing in this game is more important than scoring tapins and Araujo instead of Inigo because Inigo's card situation and Araujo's great defending (BVB has to attack). The last doubt is Fermin/Gavi, don't really care who starts there.

Unbeaten streak ends tonight?

If it does we don't count, cuz it's technically a W

why would it end?

Only see it happening if Inigo isn’t playing.

Could rain tonight in Dortmund. Let's hope to not give them any hope with a bad first half, as it can result in a chaotic possibly rainy game with chances of injuries.

We've never lost to Dortmund and if we dont lose today Barca would be the team with the longest 'not loosing strike' vs Dortmund in europe (with Celtic, both 7 games)

 

[FCBfan22]

If we go through... Do we play at home first or away first?

So far we have won all 3 games vs german teams. Before this season we lost 5 games in a row vs german teams.

Chukwuemeka und Can won't play for Dortmund tonight.

My predicton: 2-2

No way. Only if there's a crucial player returning from injury or illness. I'm sure Flick and his gang had a good idea already before Leganes game and then yesterday decided for sure.

Can't see them being so indecisive that they need today's hours to decide.

Lol.....this is how it works.
Coaches and their assistants deliberate on team tactics based on their next opponens and then apply in training. Most coaches have their regulars way ahead and may make a few changes based on perfomance at training or tactical needs against opposing team. There is always a final discussion by the coaches and other handlers either a day before the match or the morning of the matchday. Final team list(starting) and approach to the match(which had been part of the training days before) are usually announced at the teams meeting mostly either at lunchtime or just earlier. Coaches hardly settle for starting line up days ahead.

Do some coaches differ from the above,? Absolutely. But no coach lets out his starting team list days before to the point where the press know before hand. That is why none of the list out out there by the press are always tue same nor accurate.

 

[Gazzznigga]

There is really no need for full strength. The tie was decided in the first leg. All that is needed is to control the match throughout the 90 minutes and minimise their threats.

Use the opportunity to rest players, give playing time to fringe players and recovery time to for those just returning from injury.

Chukwuemeka und Can won't play for Dortmund tonight.

Ryerson gets a pause too according to Sky infos. Kovac probably focuses only on the Bundesliga to reach the CL. Dortmund is by far not in their best lineup tonight.

B team.

Literally

 

[Horatio]

My predicton: 2-2

All depens on inigo being on XI list
