Monaco might have won the 1st leg but it would be termed foolhardy to believe that they have all but secured a spot for themselves in this year's UEFA Champions League semi-finals. On their day, Dortmund can be one of the best attacking units in Europe and despite the game being played in their own yard, Monaco will be wary of backlash when the Germans travel to the French shores.

While the 3 away goals does tilt the tie in their favour, Monaco are not exactly a team known for their defensive discipline, having shipped 19 goals in the competition thus far. While both the teams have shown some great attacking ability thus far this season, we believe it will be their ability to put in a mature all-round performance in the second leg of the tie which will determine who proceeds to the semi-finals.

The first leg was a cracker of a game and we, like millions of fans worldwide cannot wait to catch up on the proceedings of the second leg. It will be a belter of a game amongst two of the best front lines in Europe.
