Can Dortmund pull off one of the biggest comebacks in Champions League history? That's the scale of the task for manager Niko Kovac and his side, after their 4-0 defeat by Barcelona in the first leg last Wednesday.

Barcelona's three attacking superstars – Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha – were all on song and on the scoresheet as Hansi Flick's men took a commanding lead in the tie.

Roared on by the Yellow Wall in the Signal Iduna Park, Borussia Dortmund will attempt to pull off a miracle but in reality a four-goal deficit is likely to prove beyond them. Barcelona, after all, are unbeaten this calendar year, although Hansi Flick may take the opportunity to rotate his squad given their heavy fixture list in recent weeks.
