Which teams can BVB play against in the round of 16 of the Champions League?
BVB has fulfilled its duty and finally made it through to the round of 16 in the Champions League behind Manchester City. There could be different hurdles waiting.
Unlike last year, when Borussia Dortmund was embarrassedly eliminated from the Champions League after the group stage, the Black and Yellows have done much better this season and maintained their position as favorites against FC Sevilla and FC Copenhagen. BVB’s goal isn’t just to make it to the round of 16 – it’s also to be one of the eight best teams in Europe. To do this, the first knockout round would have to be survived.
BVB could meet these teams in the round of 16:
- real Madrid
- Chelsea FC
- SSC Naples
- Tottenham
- FC Porto
- Benfica
Of the potential round of 16 opponents, BVB would probably only be clearly inferior to Real Madrid (before the game). On the other hand, Borussia would be the clear favorite against Porto and Benfica – duels with Chelsea, Napoli or Tottenham would be more or less on an equal footing.
From BVB’s point of view, it is therefore important to avoid Real Madrid in particular.
