Manchester - Even if BVB were currently in top form, they would not be a favorite against one of the favorites in the Champions League.
After the mixed past few weeks, Edin Terzic's team is now traveling to Manchester as a clear underdog for the quarter-final duel with Pep Guardiolas Citizens.
What doesn't work in the Bundesliga doesn't have to be the same in the premier class.
The expectations are low, the BVB professionals can play freely.
“It's a very interesting constellation because you can really only win,” says BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke and adds: “If you are eliminated, everyone says that it was clear.
But if you kick them out, of course it's a world sensation.
As a result, you as a player have fun with something like that. "
