In my opinion, Dortmund cannot compete if they continue to experience a decline in performance in the domestic league because that is also a reflection of what exists in different competitions and even though they escaped from the hellish group some time ago, that doesn't necessarily make them feel safe in the bigger rounds. So I hope they remain consistent in the Champions League by producing good results in the two legs.
Agree. Overall, Very weak. It's hard not to criticize individual players.
The players are not hungry enough to win the Bundesliga
Terzic's role is crucial for the team. Edin Terzic has to think quickly about the right tactics and starting XI when facing PSV.
Yes, Dortmund is more favored. But PSV has Peter Bosz, who knows Dortmund very well.
And the PSV players are quicker, more confident, and composed in front of the goal.
Dortmund have not been able to balance their game after Jude Bellingham had to be sold to Real Madrid, this is an important lesson for them to be more careful when they want to let go of a player, especially since the player's appearance in the team is quite crucial because a decline is very likely to occur unless they can quickly get a replacement which is balanced.
Against PSV in the last 16 of the Champions League, Dortmund will get a fairly balanced opponent or maybe they will be better than their opponent to win the first meeting even as an away team and only with a narrow score so the second meeting will be easier for them at home.
My prediction is that this will still be a match that Dortmund can overcome to advance to the quarter-finals and for the semifinals, it will really depend on their next opponents but it could be that the quarter-finals are their last step in the Champions League.
