Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City: CONFIRMED starting lineups
Attack: Marco Reus, Ansgar Knauff, Erling Haaland
A revitalized Marco Reus is the talk of town after scoring in back to back games. Borussia Dortmund’s mercurial captain ended his drought in the first leg, handing his side that ever crucial away goal. He will now be looking to build on this run of form and play a crucial role in any potential comeback that sees Dortmund make it to the semi finals.
Erling Haaland will also be looking to make his mark after failing to score in the first leg. The Norwegian international has looked out of sorts since his agent Mino Raiola and father, Alf-Inge Haaland made the trip to Spain to discuss his future with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
BVB fans will be hoping that Haaland can shake off the transfer talk and focus on the match to come. With an in form and focused Haaland in their ranks, there is no limit to what Borussia Dortmund can achieve.
Ansgar Knauff starts after scoring the winner at the weekend. The youth academy product has been putting in some very impressive performances as of late, and Thorgan Hazard has been out of form since returning from injury. Based on his form and confidence, he deserves a place in the starting XI.
It would be something special to see an academy product like Ansgar Knauff play a crucial role in helping Borussia Dortmund qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
