Dortmund just finished the league match with Bayern last weekend. Facing a strong opponent, this game brought greater physical consumption to Dortmund. Their physical fitness may not be as good as Barcelona, ​​which will limit their performance.

Considering the score in the first round, Dortmund may consider resting some players in this game, which means that they may have no intention of pursuing a reversal of the score.

The team captain and main central defender Emre Can (26 games and 3 goals) has some problems with his adductor muscles. He played the full game in the last two games. Before the game, head coach Kovac said that he might let Emre Can rest, and he would not appear again in this game. Resting the team captain, Dortmund is likely to have lost the will to fight.

But Gross, who missed the first round due to suspension, has been lifted and returned.
