A crisp poster for this match between Borussia and Barça, scheduled for Wednesday evening at Signal Iduna Park. Finalist in the last edition of the Champions League, Dortmund hosts Lamine Yamal's Barcelona, one of the contenders for the final coronation.
The two teams have the same record after the first five days, having both accumulated twelve points (4 wins, 1 loss) before their clash. The momentum is on Barça's side since the Catalans have even won their last four outings (the last against Brest), after falling against AS Monaco in the opener.
The Barcelonans are also effective in the Championship, leaders of La Liga although they have won only one of their last five matches, allowing Real Madrid to come closer.
It's more complicated for the Germans in the Bundesliga, who are languishing in sixth place and are already twelve points behind Bayern Munich. The European scene, where they shone last season, serves as a catalyst for Nuri Sahin's men, determined to play spoilsport this year again.
The Borussia Dortmund-FC Barcelona kick-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. this Wednesday, December 11. The match will be watched on television on Canal + Sport.
