Borussia Dortmund take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the second leg of UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. First leg result: 1-2. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 16th at Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund).
Borussia Dortmund with Jude almost took the silver salad bowl. More precisely, they gave it to Bayern because in the last round of the previous Bundesliga, they settled for a draw with Mainz - with equal points, Southern Star climbed to the top spot based on additional criteria. Now they have sharply declined but still noticeably lead the table ahead of bumblebees, who are only engaged in a race with RB Leipzig, where the better of the two will only finish 4th, and the loser will be left without the Champions League. However, it is precisely in the Champions League that the Germans are doing quite well now. They managed to be the first among PSG, Milan, and Newcastle, moreover, guaranteeing themselves a place in the playoffs after the 5th round. And there were no surprises in the Round of 16 with the best Dutch club of the season, PSV. After drawing away in Eindhoven, Bosz's wards won at home. In Madrid, Alle scored a late goal, and now there are chances for overall success. Although they still have to play for victory.

Atlético are practically in the same conditions. The Mattress Makers under Simeone have won a lot. And, most importantly, they have consistently held onto 3rd-4th place in La Liga. Recently, even Sevilla, another regular in the quartet of the best, has faltered. But this season, Girona unexpectedly showed persistent strength, and Athletic found form. So, the Basques are in a tough battle for 4th place, and success is by no means guaranteed. However, Cholo's team has improved in other tournaments. In the cup, they knocked out Real and reached the semifinals, only to lose to Ernesto Valverde's charges there. But in the Champions League, after their failure in 2022, finishing last in the group, the Spaniards won their group last autumn. And in the Round of 16, they showed their character, after losing 0-1 in Milan, they still managed to beat Inter at home and eliminate them on penalties. Last Wednesday, they scored a goal in each of the halves, but then allowed the Germans to equalize the score.
In 1996, the sides played in the Champions League for the first time - and won away from each other. Twenty-two years later, they each won once again, but this time on their own turf. Based on the odds, the Germans could make a comeback. But Cholo's team has a simple task: not to lose. Let's believe that Diego Simeone's charges will manage to do this.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid not to lose (X2).
