Manchester City will host Dortmund in what is expected to be a nerve-wracking encounter.
Manchester City is currently cruising in the Premier League as they currently sit just behind league leaders Arsenal. Pep Guardiola’s side is undefeated as of now and is playing quality football as usual. City’s new signing Haaland has burst onto the scene and is scoring goals for fun. The entire city squad looks to be in top-notch condition and will be dominating teams week in and week out.
Dortmund lost their key attacking figure in Erling Haaland and are currently coping without him. Dortmund has always had a comparatively younger squad and believes in investing in youth and development. This has resulted in Dortmund always falling short of the league title. In the Champion League, Dortmund faced Copenhagen in the first round where the German side grabbed a comfortable win which will count as crucial considering they were drawn in a group of death.
