I think Dortmund have different mentality this season. They are good in Champions League, but scrumble in Bundesliga. They may still be carrying on the effect of last season failure. They look uninterest in the Bundesliga, but full motivated in Champions League. Dortmund have a better experience in the Champions League compared to PSV if we just count the latest Era, because PSV also have proper history in Champions league, But past experience alone doesn't guarantee success in a specific encounter.
PSV have a stable morale with doing excellent results in the Eredivisie and progressing to the round of 16. This aspect of them is better than Dortmund's, but the Champions League is a different competition with its own dynamics. No body had thought that Dortmund would do good at a tough group stage. I think Dortmund will show their best in Champions League to compesate their performance in Bundesliga.
The UEFA Champions League is the main target for Borrusia Dortmund, they're still game and wouldn't relent in any position they have found themselves, keep pushing until they're entitled to good points and rewards. Borrusia Dortmund have become one of the underrated team because they no longer focused on winning important titles, rather they are stiff to dormant positions. There's nothing exciting about Borussia Dortmund this season. I'm upset with the club's board because they've failed to recognize the potentials have build all these years. Edin Terzic have tried but he's incompetent due to the present conditionh3 found themselves.
I don't see Borrussia Dortmund making the UCL league their main target, even in the domestic league. Because in my opinion, Borrusia Dortmund still looks less consistent in fighting for the title, they have only made a few changes to the team and are still stingy in buying players and even often sell them, which makes Borrusia Dortmund not as strong as last season and able to compete in the domestic league and UCL league. .
Indeed, in the UCL this season they performed extraordinary after being able to qualify from a group containing big teams, and maybe they could get past PSV in the round of 16, but they will never qualify for the semifinals this season. Terzic often experiments with formations, this is what makes me doubt the Borrussia Dortmund coach, he always underestimates matches with tactical experiments, especially with the incomplete condition of the team like now, such as the number 7 and number 9 players in Dortmund who are currently less productive.
