Champions League Blog Second Leg Part 1
Tottenham travel to Dortmund where they hold a 3-0 lead from the first leg at Wembley.
Both these teams have been poor in recent weeks domestically and this comes as a welcome distraction.
The Germans welcome back Marco Reus back after he missed the first leg through injury.
Tottenham welcome back Harry Kane after he missed the first leg too.
You would think this tie is over but with Tottenham you just never know. Rewind a few years back and they took a 3-0 lead to inter milan in the Europa only to be taken to extra time.
An early goal for Dortmund and this tie becomes very interesting.
The other game Tuesday sees Ajax travel to Madrid. Having won the first leg 2-1 away this should be fairly routine. For some reason I don’t think it will be though. Ajax have been strong all season and have the potential to cause a surprise. Madrid have been struggling all season and even with a strong first leg results this is by no means over.
Wednesday we have what seems to be a dead rubber in PSG V Manchester United. Having won 2-0 at Old Trafford 3 weeks ago this is as good as done. I cant see United doing anything here, especially with all the injuries they have piling up.
The other tie sees Roma travel to Porto holding a slender lead. The late away goal in Rome for Porto was a huge lift and could have a massive impact on deciding who goes through to the Quarter Finals.
I believe Roma will score and ultimately qualify.
