Borussia Dortmund – Barcelona: history of confrontations

On the historical level, FC Barcelona clearly dominates the debates. The brilliant victory by four goals in any April is proof of this, as well as success 3-2 in December 2024 at the Iduna Park signal. Since 2019, Barça has won three duels against the BVB, and Dortmund has never found the fault in the first period against the Catalans. Suffice to say that the task of the men of Kovac promises to be colossal.

Borussia Dortmund: News and form

The recent equality (2-2) against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga illustrates the resilience of Borussia, capable of returning to the score after being carried out. Despite everything, the defense remains weakened by the absence of Nico Schlotterbeck, operated on a meniscian injury. Although the club won promising victories against Friborg (4-1) and Mainz (3-1), its defensive gaps often reappear in the second period. An undeniable asset remains the offensive efficiency of Dortmund, which multiplies the goals and maintains the hope of a feat against Barcelona.

Compositions probables Borussia Dortmund

For this return round, Niko Kovac should renew his defense to three in the absence of Nico Schlotterbeck, still recovering. Anton, Süle and Couto would form the rear base, while Can would hold a sentry role in front of the defense. The Quartet Özcan, Reyna, Brandt and Groß would orchestrate the game in the middle, deprived of the dynamism of Marcel Sabitzer, injured in the knee ligaments. In front, the Guirassy-Adeyemi association would bring power and velocity, even if possible last minute adjustments are never to be excluded.

Barcelona: News and form

The current dynamics of FC Barcelona under Hansi Flick force respect. Unbeaten in their last five games, the Blaugrana notably dominated Dortmund in the first leg (four goals to any), led by a sparkling offensive trio: Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha. Their recent victory for a goal in no against Leganés en Liga testifies to their ability to win even without shining. The injury of Alejandro Balde embarks the Barcelona defense, but the team remains solid thanks to its collective balance and the surgical precision of Lewandowski.

Barcelona probable compositions

On the Barcelona side, Hansi Flick should favor a diagram in four-two-three-one, with Peña in the cages in the prolonged absence of Ter Stegen, affected by the Rotulian tendon. In central defense, Cubarsí and Araújo would make up the hinge, supported by Koundé on the right and Martínez on the left to fill the absence of balde. Gavi and Pedri would form the double pivot, while Raphinha, Yamal and Fermín should animate the attack behind Lewandowski. Dani Olmo, still injured in adductors, will also miss the call.
