This is one of the shocks of this 6th day of the Champions League. Fourth after five days of the Champions League, Dortmund hosts Barcelona, third. With 12 points on the clock, both teams are on very good track for qualification, but must win to continue to claim the top 8.
Braked this weekend, Dortmund invincible at home
Despite their draws in the last two days of the Bundesliga, Dortmund are imperial at home. Since the start of the season, it has been eight wins and one draw (during its last reception against Bayern Munich 1-1), with no less than 27 goals scored for 8 conceded. Well led by a Serhou Guirassy in very good shape since the start of the season, the Germans host Barcelona with the objective of continuing this series of invincibility, and thus continuing in this top 8 before two final more affordable European days, against Bologna and Shaktar.

For its part, Barcelona started its season off to a flying start, but has been more irregular in recent matches (two wins, two draws, two defeats in all competitions). Held in check at Betis Sevilla (2-2), the Barcelonans saw Lewandowski find the net once again. Top scorer in the Spanish championship and the Champions League, a new complicated trip awaits the Pole and the Blaugrana at the Westfalenstadion. Especially since there will be a trip to Benfica before the reception of Atalanta to close this phase of the league on the Catalan side, a more than complex schedule.
