The UEFA Champions League is one of the most prestigious football tournaments in the world, and this year’s Round of 16 will feature one of the most anticipated match-ups to date: Borussia Dortmund versus Chelsea.
Dortmund vs Chelsea: Both teams have previously won the Champions League, with Dortmund winning it in 1997 and Chelsea winning it in 2012 and 2021. However, who will win this year is anyone’s guess.
Dortmund has been in excellent form this season, particularly in the Champions League. They won all five of their group stage matches and scored an impressive 16 goals. Their attack is led by Marco Reus, Karim Adeyemi, and Youssoufa Moukoko, all of whom have been on fire this season.
Chelsea, on the other hand, has been impressive this season. They finished first in their group but have struggled in the Premier League. They have added some key players to their squad and will be prepared for their Champions League matches. Their attack is led by Kai Havertz, Joao Felix, and Raheem Sterling, and they have also been successful in the past.
Mykhaylo Mudryk’s recent signing has helped.
