UEFA Champions League Matchday: It has been one of the most interesting UEFA Champions League seasons so far, with the league stage producing some of the most unexpected results. With five matches already played by each team and three more to go, it remains unpredictable as to who will secure the direct qualification spots.
However, one clear indication of the new format is that facing each team only once during the league phase keeps the excitement and uncertainty alive.
One of the biggest matches on Matchday 6 will be Borussia Dortmund playing against Barcelona. Both teams have been in red-hot goal-scoring form, putting their opponents to bed with their impeccable striking prowess. While Dortmund hasn’t had the best results in the Bundesliga, Nuri Sahin’s team has been making up for that in the Champions League. They are currently sitting in fourth place on the table with four wins and one loss and an average scoring rate of 3.2 goals per match, which will be a handful for the Catalan giants to handle. The trio of Gittens, Guirassy, and Adeyemi have been wreaking havoc on the defence lines of each team they have faced, with 11 out of the 16 goals scored by the team overall. On the other hand, Barcelona should not be ruled out with their new crop of players, Hansi Flick’s high defensive line tactics, and their enigmatic captain, Raphinha Dias, who is their top scorer in the Champions League so far.
