With Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, Barcelona have a large three who cannot be admitted, and around them there are numerous threats at any time.

Exciting 22-year-old Maximilian Beier is someone who could be the X factor for Dortmund. With two goals and two assists in his last two games and eight goals and five assists in all competitions this season, he is someone who can help break open the match for the black and yellow. Focus will be on Serhou Guirassy who leads the border and for a good reason, given that only Raphinha has improved his 10 goals in this competition, but that could open the space for Beerier to thrive.

A natural nine, Beerier has had to adapt to moving to the wing, but now that he has found his Groove, he has become a decent weapon for Dortmund. It will probably match Jules Kounde in the defense, it will be a pretty challenge for the young German, but that is exactly what the Champions League is for. There is no such thing as an easy matchup in this phase of the competition and it is where legends are made.

How many goals Dortmund -score does not matter whether they cannot quit Raphinha and Lewandowski, both together to score 20 times this season to score 20 times in Champions League. Barcelona scored for fun in both La Liga and UCL Play and Emre Can will have to stabilize a Dortmund defense that will see many shots, but they have opportunities on the break. Whoever takes those opportunities better is what the competition will define.
