Munich – FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have all hit hard in the premier class. SPORT1 shows why the trio still have good chances.
The draw for the round of sixteen in the Champions League has given the German teams attractive tickets.
Borussia Dortmund will compete with Paris Saint-Germain and former coach Thomas Tuchel, RB Leipzig will meet Tottenham Hotspur and FC Bayern will play FC Chelsea.
While BVB will play at home first, Bayern and Leipzig will have home rights in the second leg.
Borussia Dortmund – Paris Saint-Germain
Michael Zorc spoke of a “firecracker”. Dortmund’s sports director emphasized that one does not play against Thomas Tuchel, but against Paris.
Nevertheless, the reunion with the former coach is explosive. In the best case scenario, it will spark additional motivation – for example with Mats Hummels, whose relationship with Tuchel was not always the best.
If reports from France are to be believed, Tuchel is not supposed to have everything under control anymore anyway.
Especially with Kylian Mbappé there are repeated frictions. Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that the theatre around Neymar, who wanted to leave Paris in the summer, will flare up again.
