Borussia Dortmund and German football champion Bayer Leverkusen are hoping to achieve another success in the Champions League. Following a 3-0 opening win in Brugge, Dortmund welcome Scottish Double winners Celtic Glasgow on Tuesday (9pm Amazon Prime time). Leverkusen also plays at home at the same time and faces Milan.
Coach Nuri Sahin’s team enters the match favored to win, but also with great respect. Finally, Celtic stormed into second place in the reformed European Premier League table with a 5-1 win over Bratislava. Victory over the so-called ‘Bhoys’ could give Borussia Dortmund the courage to repeat their last Champions League final in two weeks at Real Madrid.
Leverkusen, the winner of the two titles, won 4-0 over Feyenoord Rotterdam in the beginning. But the Italian vice champion is no lightweight. This is the first time that Leverkusen faces the traditional club in the Champions League. However, Werkself’s record against Italian clubs is very mixed. Leverkusen has lost most of its confrontations with Italian League clubs so far.
