Defense: Lukasz Piszczek, Mats Hummels, Dan-Axel Zagadou

There isn’t any reason for Borussia Dortmund to make any changes to their back line with how they have played in the last two games. Lukasz Piszczek, Mats Hummels and Dan-Axel Zagadou have formed a solid partnership in central defense over the past two games that has seen Dortmund concede only one goal over the past 180 minutes, and even that goal was a bit unlucky with Zagadou potentially tripping as he tried to tackle Mbappe.

Borussia Dortmund’s defense had been very suspect in the games before the Frankfurt win, so it’s a very positive sign seeing putting together a couple solid defensive games.
