Germans count on Haaland to advance their level, something that hasn’t happened since 2017
In Germany, Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla will face each other again, at 17:00, Brasília time, in the game of the round of the octaves. In the first match the Germans won and won 3-2, with two goals from Haaland, one of the greatest promises in world football. With this triumph, Borussia can lose by up to one goal difference, as long as Sevila does not score four or more goals. If the German team qualifies, it will break a bad sequence in the competition, since since 2017 the club has not advanced to the quarterfinals.
Champions scorer with eight goals, Haaland even scared the fan, when in the classic against Bayern Munich for the German championship, he needed to be replaced, but he should go out to the field. The Norwegian is the hope of goals in the team. In addition to being the top scorer in the Champions League, the striker has the incredible mark of 18 goals in 13 games in the tournament.
The Germans continue without counting Axel Witsel and Marcel Schmelzer, while Giovanni Reyna, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Guerreiro are treated as doubts.
Sevilla tries to match the best campaign brand in the Champions League, obtained three years ago. In 2018, he reached the quarterfinals and was eliminated by Bayern Munich. After saving a good part of the starting lineup in the La Liga game, coach Julen Lopategui should escalate the maximum strength for soon. The only embezzlement will be the full-back Aleix Vidal.
