Match Preview
This last-16 tie is delicately poised after a 1-1 draw in Germany last week as last year’s runners-up Dortmund look to progress and Lille aim for a quarter-final spot for the first time.
Lille won 10 of their 16 points in the league phase at home and will be tough opposition for the Bundesliga giants.
The sides have drawn their last three meetings now so penalties are not out of the question…
It's time to find out who makes the Champions League quarter-finals 🍿
