The UEFA Champions League returned this week. “Barcelona” has already felt the weight of the superstar performance when “Paris Saint-Germain” Killian Mbappe became the best player in the world as his hat trick led him to victory at “Camp Nou” with a score of 4: 1, and RB Leipzig lost twice to Liverpool in a game that moved from Leipzig to Hungary. Actions on Wednesday should be just as riveted. You can keep track of all of this on CBS Sports All Access.
On the second day of the Champions League, Porto hosted Juventus and Sevilla against Borussia Dortmund in two seductive games with Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Holland.
Connections on Wednesday could play entertaining first and second games with close first legs, which is expected to lead to exciting results next month, albeit on Tuesday before the away team is accelerated by the hosts.
Here is closer to the second day of the action of the 1
/ 8 Finals.
Gladbach reveals the planned coaching change in Dortmund
It is never ideal if the story concerns a change of coach before a big game, but in such a situation Dortmund faced a clash with “Sevilla” at the “Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan”. After coach Lucien Favre was dismissed, Dortmund had a difficult start to life under interim boss Edin Terzic with four wins, three losses and two draws in all competitions in 2021.

Unsurprisingly, Dortmund are planning a life after Terzic, but BVB was unprepared for Bundesliga rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach and reported that their head coach Mark Rose had agreed to move to Dortmund this summer. But they did that on Tuesday.
With Dortmund there has been silence on the radio since the Gladbach Champions League was declared, and this is hardly the perfect preparation for the game, which should already be tough enough to get in the way of the players and Terzic.
Currently, “Sevilla” is one of the sides of Europe’s form: nine wins in a row in all competitions and seven blank sheets with 18 goals in one miss. Dortmund are fighting for form, taking two wins out of the last seven and one of those that need extra time. And they’ve added a few attack shots since appearing in the Champions League. They acquired Papa Gomez from one of Atalanta’s Champions League rivals during the January transfer window, a kind of creative offensive spark that may not be there for a disciplined Sevilla.
The Haaland-led German attack on the Spanish defense that Marshal Jules Counde called for will be part of a series of fascinating battles to watch out for, while USMNT’s weary talent Joe Raine could play a role for the visitors. Despite becoming a Dortmund teenager, the teenager has passed two months since the last goal on December 12th and even more since the last transfer on November 28th.
Colored former winners
The meeting between “Porto” and “Juventus” in the “Estadio do Dragoo” met two two-time Champions League winners and the Portuguese – the 2004 title winners.
However, the two teams are currently not in the best shape and were in an unfamiliar position as they were not at the top of their domestic leagues and “Porto” is 10 points less than the pace of “Sporting” and “Juventus” – the fourth, but with a game in hand to fill the gap with Milan’s new Inter leaders.
In this schedule, Cristiano Ronaldo is returning to his native Portugal, which is always an event, but neither team has won in a series of four draws in the last two games in all competitions with the hosts.
There will be a lot of outstanding strength on the show, Alvaro Marat – one of the four players who have scored six goals so far, as well as Dortmund’s “Holland”, and Ronaldo is not far behind with four.
Both sides will feel like they can pull harder and the Italians will try to take advantage of the fact that the house was in the second phase.
This one will also be of interest to USMNT fans, and Weston McKeny is likely to play an important role for Juventus as his development continues after winning his first flatware at Supercoppa Italia earlier this year. McKenney won enormously and swapped Schalke’s chaotic quarter in Germany for elite teammates in Turin last season. He scored twice that: from 0.13 goals in 90 minutes to 0.27, an average of 0.18 assists in 90, after not registering last season. With strikers like Ronaldo and Alvaro Marat in front of him and defenders like Leonardo Banucci and Matthias de Ligt behind him, the young American has become a midfielder of all the European leaders.
