The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Borussia Dortmund lock horns with Hansi Flick's Barcelona side in a crucial encounter at the Montjuic on Wednesday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will be determined to win this game.

Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Borussia Dortmund are in eighth place in the Bundesliga standings and have failed to make an impact on the domestic front this season. The away side thrashed SC Freiburg by a 4-1 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the La Liga table and have been in excellent form this season. The Catalan giants were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Real Betis in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this week.

Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Barcelona have an excellent record against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League and have won three out of the five matches played between the two teams, with the other two games ending in draws. Borussia Dortmund have never defeated Barcelona on the European stage.
Borussia Dortmund are winless in their five matches against Barcelona in European competitions and have endured a run of six such games in a row against only two other opponents in their history.

Barcelona have thrived under Hansi Flick this season and have their sights set on the Champions League trophy at the moment. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha have been sensational for the Catalans so far and will look to make their mark this week.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
