Everyone becomes really serious following the competitive nature of these elite leagues. Borrusia Dortmund are not only the elite side that's having a competitive good run in the UEFA Champions League. We have other competitive clubs that are closing in to accumulate good points on the table. Borrusia Dortmund faces Barcelona next and that's simply a tough run down I'd you ask me. Nuri Sahin is having a close watch about the tough oppositions this season, ranking 4th position on UCL table and also in the race for Bundesliga title, watching him having whole priorities to handle.Dortmund are also not very good in the Bundesliga where they only rank 5th, in fact both Barcelona and Dortmund drew in their domestic matches this week. Barcelona was held to a 2-2 draw by Real Betis, while Dortmund drew 1-1 against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Both teams seem evenly matched in terms of strength, but I tend to be positive towards Barcelona.
Maybe they can gain a big advantage since it will be played at Dortmund's home ground. Fan support is very important in such matches, fans are one of the biggest factors for a team to get ahead. Their performance this week was average, they didn't play very well. Maybe they didn't want to get tired for the next match. Otherwise, both teams were strong enough to beat these opponents. It's been a bit of an unfortunate week for both of them. Goals conceded towards the end of the match caused them to lose points
