BVB against PSG tonight in the live ticker: Kohler shoots against Favre

12:38: The defensive of Dortmund has been criticized for weeks. In Leverkusen, for example, three away goals were not even enough for one point because BVB conceded four goals. Against Paris, Mats Hummels and Co. are put to the test again - by no less names than Mbappé, Neymar, Icardi and Di Maria.

If that works out? Ex-BVB star Jürgen Kohler has his doubts. He criticized the defensive of the black and yellow and coach Lucien Favre in the "kicker".

Kohler: “I think that the last line of Borussia is definitely too high, as is the midfield. It would help to move the whole block five to eight meters to the rear. Defending as high as Dortmund usually does is simply not possible. "

The 1990 world champion replaces the Swiss coach: “As a coach, you have to let your people play . And not what you would like to play. And if I know that my defenders have a pace problem or tend to make big mistakes, I need protection. ”

Kohler (250 games for Dortmund) has even more tips for Favre : “You always have to get your players into these situations during training. They have to experience what is required of them in the competition: to block the rooms, to fight duels and to prevent passes from going deep. ”

Whether the BVB defense stands this time and whether Favre pulled the right levers in training - there will be a resolution tonight.

Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain: offensive top - defensive so-so

It is much closer in the Bundesliga. FC Bayern took over Leipzig's lead again after defeating Cologne. Behind them is Borussia Dortmund in third place, currently four points behind Munich.

If you want to survive against Paris , you should seek your salvation on the offensive. BVB is well positioned there, also since Jadon Sancho meets again - but he should be about to say goodbye, the French themselves are well positioned with their extravagant storm. But there is always a deficit on the defensive. This was also shown by the last league game: Last weekend, Tuchel's team caught four goals against Amiens. The Parisians were saved once again by their offensive, which at least brought a draw with their own four goals.

Accordingly, we can look forward to a real offensive fireworks display on Tuesday, in which the Dortmunders have a good chance of getting a good starting position for the second leg, especially in front of their home crowd. By the way: Paris and Dortmund have only met twice so far: in the Europa League group stage in 2010, both games ended in a tie.
