109 days after losing the Wembley final against Real Madrid, the Borussia Dortmund sets foot in the Champions League again and will start again from Club Brugge tomorrow. To present the challenge (9.00 pm) at the Jan Breydel Stadium, alongside the yellow and black coach Nuri Sahin in a press conference also Emre Can.
The first statements. “The (Champions League) anthem is something special, even after all these years,” said the captain on the eve of the match against the Belgian champions. The competition begins with a new format, with the results being entered into a table common to all 36 participants: “Nobody knows how many points will be enough to advance at the end. Every goal is important. Hopefully we can get our first win tomorrow,” explained the German.
The fact that the former Juventus midfielder was sitting next to the BVB coach in the press room can be seen as an indication of the possible ownership tomorrow. Especially after not being included in the starting eleven for the first time against Heidenheim on Friday: “The competition is always good,” Can stressed. “It pushes us. The team is above everything. If I play again, tomorrow or any other time, I want to put in a good performance,” he concluded on the official channels of the yellow and black club.
