After clash with BVB: Tuchel has to face the yellow wall again

How does it end? Paris coach Thomas Tuchel and his team are in the Champions League round of 16 - and meet his ex-boss.

• Borussia Dortmund meets Paris Saint-Germain on February 18, 2020.
• Paris is the clear favorite in the round of 16 of the Champions League .
• Before the duel, BVB boss Watzke teases Paris coach Tuchel .

Munich - The dirty divorce is allegedly forgiven and forgotten, at least an appearance of harmony is desirable. But Thomas Tuchel got back a teasing after his peace offer, which Hans-Joachim Watzke had best hidden in a bouquet of compliments. Emotions played no role in the encounter of the alpha animals, said the boss of Borussia Dortmund before the Champions League duel on Tuesday (9:00 p.m. / DAZN): After all, " Jürgen Klopp is not coming back". Ouch.

Watzke on Tuchel: "Will certainly not be great friends anymore"

The fact that Tuchel and his former boss "certainly won't be great friends anymore" (Watzke) is currently not the main problem for the trainer from Paris Saint Germain . After three knockouts from PSG in series six, Tuchel are sitting in the neck of Qatar investors who cannot be appeased with championship titles or the league cup.

For Tuchel 2020 it couldn't get any worse than the last minute stop against a "youth gang" from Manchester United last year (2: 0/1: 3). It doesn't have to either. "If it gets tough, it's bad enough," said the 46-year-old, who has known about the "bizarre failure" of his team in recent years, to the world on Sunday. In 2017 PSG swept FC Barcelona 4-0 out of the Prinzenpark - and lost the second leg 1-6. A drama.

BVB and Paris Saint Germain in the round of 16: will it be a goal spectacle?

At that time, Tuchel was still training the Dortmund team before he split up with Watzke as a result of the bomb attack on the BVB bus. He then went on to spend a Sabbath year, learned French and went to Paris, where he already won three of the titles that the Qataris are almost indifferent to: French champion 2019 (2020 is only a matter of form), French Super Cup winner 2018 and 2019.

So this Tuesday Dortmund, Westfalenstadion. For Tuchel "no stage to work on anything". But maybe the stage for a goal spectacle ...
