The moment that FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund were destined to meet in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, it was clear that two different worlds were going to meet up twice in April.
Barcelona, on the other hand, has worked through its winter slump and is in stellar form coming into the matchup.
They are leading La Liga, qualifying for the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, and cruising into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have had huge troubles this season.
After losing in the Champions League final last season, manager Edin Terzić decided to step down, and assistant manager and club legend Nuri Şahin took over the team.
After a disastrous start to their league campaign, the club decided to move on from the young coach after not even a year and signed Niko Kovač as a replacement.
The situation in the league remains dire for the black-and-yellows, and they are desperate to find some form in the competition they have played way better in over the last two years, the Champions League.
In this tactical analysis and post-match analysis, we will examine the tactics that the two coaches used in this game, how the game shaped up, and why it ended the way it did.
