Start of match

  • PRVW
    The players make their way out here at the Signal Iduna Park!
  • PRVW
    The pre-match warm-ups of both sides are complete and we're closing in on kick-off.
  • PRVW
    Pedri's last game off was on 4 January against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey. Since then, the player from Tenerife has not missed a game either with Barca or with the Spanish national team. Hansi Flick had that rotation pending.
  • PRVW
    Hansi Flick does not make too many rotations despite the 4-0 first leg. In defence, apart from the forced substitution of Gerard Martin for Balde, he rested Inigo Martinez. In midfield, De Jong returns, but Pedri is rested. Up front, the same trio as always, Raphinha, Yamal and Lewandowski.
  • PRVW
    Borussia Dortmund starting XI: Kobel (GK); Couto, Anton, Sule, Rensebaini; Nmecha, Gross; Adeyemi, Beier, Guirassy.
  • PRVW
    Barcelona starting XI: Szczesny (GK); Martin, Cubarsi, Araujo, Kounde; Gavi, Fermin Lopez, De Jong; Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski.
  • PRVW
    We have the official line-ups for today's match!! Let's check them out!!
  • PRVW
    Dani Olmo made the squad list after overcoming adductor problems in time, but Fermin Lopez is expected to return to the starting line-up in the number 10 role ahead of Gavi, while a minor ankle problem for Raphinha could see Ferran Torres start.
  • PRVW
    Gerard Martin should be the replacement to play at Signal Iduna Park, where Marc Bernal, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Casado will be absent.
  • PRVW
    On the Barcelona side, at left-back, Alejandro Balde suffered a hamstring injury in the La Liga match against Leganés which is expected to keep him sidelined until the end of the month.
  • PRVW
    Fourth official: Simone Sozza. Video Assistant Referee: Marco Di Bello. Assistant Video Assistant Referee: Daniele Doveri.
  • PRVW
    Referee: Maurizio Mariani. Assistant referees: Daniele Bindoni, Alberto Tegoni.
  • PRVW
    Borussia Dortmund were without Pascal Gross in the first leg due to suspension, but the former Brighton & Hove Albion player is available to take his place in midfield on Tuesday, as he did against Bayern Munich. Kovac will still be unable to call upon knee injury absentees Marcel Sabitzer and Nico Schlotterbeck, and the BVB coach also has concerns over the fitness of Emre Can due to a muscular issue.
  • PRVW
    Barcelona possible starting lineup: Szczesny (GK); Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Martin; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Lopez, Torres; Lewandowski.
  • PRVW
    Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup: Kobel (GK); Ryerson, Sule, Anton, Bensebaini; Gross, Nmecha; Gittens, Brandt, Adeyemi; Guirassy.
  • PRVW
    Let's get things warmed up with some possible line-ups for the clash!!
  • PRVW
    Despite having previously played for Borussia Dortmund, Lewandowski has proven to be their most prolific tormentor, having scored a remarkable 29 goals in just 28 games against them.
  • PRVW
    At home, Barcelona proved to be significantly stronger than Dortmund. Raphinha put them ahead in the 25th minute, after which Lewandowski scored twice in the second half, and Yamal completed the scoring in the 77th minute, making it a resounding 4-0.
  • PRVW
    In Germany, the atmosphere surrounding Flick's team is notably more relaxed following their commanding 4-0 first-leg triumph, implying a likely more peaceful encounter on paper.
  • PRVW
    In the other game today we have Aston Villa vs. PSG at Villa Park where Emery's side have to overturn a 3-1 deficit at the Parc des Princes.
  • PRVW
    It's been a long week waiting for the second leg of the Champions League but here we are, ready to start to know who will be the first to reach the semis.
