At the moment we have surprisingly few injuries. Kobel was the only starter at the weekend.
Thanks. Think will be backing you now, at this point of the season surely that will be a big positive late on.

Surprised you prefer Real so strongly over us. I would much rather see Bayern win it over the twentieth Real win. PSG of course being the worst case scenario.
I simply don‘t want to see another Bundesliga club win it. So feck you guys! :lol:

For me its very simple: I know few Real fans, I know many BVB fans. Might be the same for him.
Somewhat. I don‘t root for other Bundesliga clubs to win in Europe. And my neighbour and friend is actually a Real fan from Madrid so tomorrow will be „interesting“…

He's a bit slow footed and clumsy on the ball. Really good defender but nothing special and not someone who particularly improves a top side. Last season Inter lost him to injury, replaced him with Darmian and barely noticed the difference. Surprised he struggles to get into the PSG lineup...no, not really. Maybe with a different manager, but he's just worse than Marquinhos and Lucas and not good enough on the ball for Luis Enrique
Yeah, terrible fit between manager and player. Atletico woulda been a good move for him.

feck your superstars, it's for whoever wins the games needed to get there.
Okay, but even by that logic, Dortmund's progress to this point largely comes down to the luck of the draw, which is another thing that has made this competition underwhelming lately. It sucks that the two best teams in the world had to face each other in the quarter-finals while two bang-average teams like Dortmund and Atletico squared off.

Depressing to think how many years it's been since we had a European night like this.

what is that tifo? Are the PSG fans burning the Dortmund crest or are they holding up half of Dortmund's crest as a friendly gesture?

Reckon Dortmund have a very decent chance to go through today.

I refuse to believe that Dortmund don’t have a better option than Emre Can.

Mbappe doesn't half make that side easy to attack, is he worth the trade off in goals? Needs to have an impact this game surely.
