Barcelona are close to producing a perfect season. Hansi Flick seemed to need a lot of time to settle into his new job, but the German immediately started to produce results. At the end of 2024, the Blue Granatovas had a slight slump, but after that they won the Spanish Super Cup, defeating Real Madrid 5-2 in the final, after which things went uphill. Last weekend, the Catalans' nine-match winning streak in the Primera was broken when they drew 1:1 with Betis, but even this misfire does not prevent them from leading the standings, four points ahead of Real Madrid. In addition, at the end of April they will play with Madrid in the final of the Spanish Cup.
Barcelona are also playing superbly on the international stage. Yes, at the general stage of the Champions League Catalans started with a defeat from Monaco - 1:2, but in the next seven rounds managed to win six victories with one draw, and therefore they took the final second place in the composite standings, making it directly to the round of 16. They faced Benfica, who had no major problems: in Lisbon they managed to beat the Portuguese 1:0, and at the Olympique Lluis Compagnie, the Spaniards consolidated their advantage with a 3:1 win.
Borussia D
Borussia played poorly in the Bundesliga last season. Dortmund took only fifth place, which hardly suited such an ambitious team. At the same time, in the current season they are playing even worse. Numerous losses of points led to the fact that Nuri Shaheen left the post of head coach at the end of January, when the Bumblebees went to the bottom of the standings. Niko Kovac became the new manager, but even the Croatian specialist did not immediately lead the team out of the crisis. Only in the last six rounds, the Black-Yellows have won four games, which allowed them to climb to eighth place, with only five points behind the Champions League competition.
Surprisingly, the Bumblebees transform dramatically when they find themselves on the international stage. Suffice it to note that with all of last year's failures in the Bundesliga, they managed to reach the final of the Champions League. Here and in the current draw of the tournament, they also look very decent. At the general stage Dortmund took tenth place, and therefore had to play in the round of 32, where they passed Sporting - 3:0 away, 0:0 at home. In the round of 16, the Germans had a much more difficult time, as in Dortmund they played a draw with Lille - 1:1, and then got a willful victory at Pierre-Morois - 2:1, making it to the quarter-finals.

Expert Betting Tips
Borussia continues to show surprising results. Over the last two seasons, the Bumblebees have become a mid-table side in the Bundesliga, but they played in the Champions League final the year before and have already reached the quarter-finals in the current edition of the tournament. It is hardly possible to work miracles indefinitely, and that is why Dortmund's fairytale must come to an end against Barcelona. The Catalans are in phenomenal form. They are capable of collecting a full collection of trophies at the end of the season, and in the first game against the Germans they have every chance of earning a comfortable advantage ahead of the return leg.
