Borussia Dortmund vs Sevilla: Champions League round of 16 Preview and Team News
By Tushar Bahl
Previous Meeting: Sevilla 2-3 Borussia Dortmund
The two sides met last month in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie, and it was Borussia Dortmund who came out on top in Spain, earning a hard-fought 3-2 win.
Sevilla took an early lead thanks to a deflected strike from Suso. But Borussia Dortmund roared back into the game and turned things around in the first half. Mahmoud Dahoud scored the equaliser before Erling Haaland found the net twice to give Edin Terzic’s side three priceless away goals heading into half time.
But Sevilla managed to pull a goal back late on, with Luuk de Jong scoring to ensure that the tie remains poised going into the second leg.
Borussia Dortmund will fancy their chances of getting the job done at the Westfalenstadion. But Sevilla are by no means out of the tie just yet. And an early goal for the Spanish side would certainly change the complexion of the game.
