Barcelona may have lost a little of their incredible momentum in their draw against Real Betis at the weekend, but they're still unbeaten in all competitions this calendar year. Top of La Liga and sailing through the Champions League so far – 2nd in the league phase and 4-1 aggregate winners over Benfica in the last-16 – Hansi Flick's side are full of confidence and the favourites to progress to the semi-finals.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, are languishing in eighth place in the Bundesliga. Their Champions League progress hasn't been smooth, but they've overcome a number of challenges to give themselves a chance at this stage. Niko Kovac's side needed to get through a playoff after finishing 10th in the league phase, before edging past Lille in the last-16.

Watch from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re planning to be out of the house as Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund kicks off, your usual streaming services might not be the most beneficial.
Thankfully, there is a good option that doesn’t involve resorting to one of those dodgy feeds on Reddit. All you need is a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which sets your IP address to make it look like your device is in another country.
Assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to create a private connection, access your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world, and put your feet up with the game.
FourFourTwo’s office mates TechRadar are experts in this field and they are big fans of NordVPN.
