Oh, everyone loves a happy return. But there will be mixed feelings for Borussia Dortmund fans if they see their beloved Erling Haaland score again against his old club in the Champions League.Borussia Dortmund has already played against Manchester City three times this decade, and the black and yellows lost 2-1 each of them. And they always conceded crucial hits in the final quarter of an hour. Phil Foden scored the winning goal twice – once in the 75th and once in the 90th minute. In the latest reverse in Manchester, BVB even gave up a 1-0 lead. First, John Stones scored with ten minutes remaining, setting the stage for a familiar face to strike – former BVB man Haaland scored the late winner.This is the night for the Norwegian man to return to Westfallenstadion, where he used to delight BVB fans. Despite the danger he will provide for the home side’s backline, BVB coach Edin Terzic says everyone at the club is still fond of Haaland.”There are only positive emotions when we think of Erling. It was great to have him here with us, but now he’s scoring goals in a different jersey, and we have to stop him.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6757276##Borussia’s goalkeeper Gregor Kobel in particular, could have a lot of work to do, but the goalkeeper feels prepared. “I trust the guys in front of me.”Whether central defenders Nico Schlotterbeck and Mats Hummels will also be among those guys right in front of Kobel is not clear, but Terzic is optimistic that both of them would be fit to play. Donyell Malen’s recovery after an infection is promising, Salih Ozcan will miss a yellow card suspension, and whether Marco Reus is already enough for the squad due to a setback after the comeback against Union Berlin, Dortmund will decide on Tuesday. At this point, it seems unlikely Reus will be seen on the pitch.In Manchester, Terzic decided to use three central midfielders against the English champions, who were reliable on the ball, to close the middle of the park as best as possible. The young coach is likely to do something similar tonight.Erling Haaland’s #UCL record for Borussia Dortmund 🟡⚫️Tonight, he returns 🤖🔙 pic.twitter.com/DrPWT1qXmT— LiveScore (@livescore) October 25, 2022 The constellation in the BVB group is exciting.
