"Fire" clash in the Champions League/ Barça-Dortmund promises

After the first matches played on Tuesday, this Wednesday, the next two challenges in the Champions League quarterfinals will take place.

Barcelona, ??which is fighting on three fronts, hosts Borussia Dortmund at home. This is the second match that the teams face each other, after the first, where the Catalans triumphed with a score of 3-2 in the group stage.

The Spanish coach, Hansi Flick, has the Yellow and Blacks as his favorite opponent, as he has won 6 of his six matches against them.

Unlike Barcelona, ??which is struggling in the league, cup and Champions League, Dortmund's situation is different. The Germans are facing numerous ups and downs this season and are ranked in the middle of the league table.

Another statistic makes the mission more difficult for Dortmund. The Yellow and Blacks have never beaten Barcelona, ??as in the previous 5 encounters, the Catalans have won 3 times, while 2 meetings have ended in a draw.

The Germans also do not like facing the Spaniards, as in 20 meetings against La Liga teams, they have been defeated 12 times, drawn 5 times, and won only 3 times.

A hard-fought match is expected, with surprises not excluded.

In parallel, a spectacular and very beautiful challenge is expected to be the one between PSG and Aston Villa. After securing the championship title and qualifying for the Cup final, the Parisians are aiming for another success, this time in the Champions League.

After eliminating Liverpool in the round of 16, the French will now face another English team, which is also doing very well this season.

Aston Villa are having a good season in England, where they are in contention for a Champions League spot and are now aiming to make their mark in the most important club competition.

With an expert coach, such as Unai Emery, everything becomes possible for the Londoners, who have players in the team who know the competition well, such as Rashford and Asensio, or even a veteran like Martinez in goal.

These matches are scheduled to be played this Wednesday starting at 9:00 PM.
