Game Preview
Borussia Dortmund will play Chelsea in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League match on Tuesday night, and they will be carrying a slim 1-0 lead to Stamford Bridge. Graham Potter is looking for a valuable victory that might just buy him some more time in the manager’s box. Three weeks ago, Karim Adeyemi’s magnificent solo winner at the Westfalenstadion ended in a close match.
Dortmund is only 90 minutes away from putting another damper on Chelsea’s miserable 2023, regardless of whether Adeyemi’s stunning winner or his backflip celebration was more impressive. However, the German starlet’s crucial contribution in the first leg has Dortmund just 90 minutes away from doing so.
In a match when carelessness appeared to be winning, Adeyemi brought the ball down wonderfully within his own half, danced past Enzo Fernandez and Kepa Arrizabalaga, and slotted home. Chelsea was kept at bay by Gregor Kobel, the woodwork, and an unbelievable Emre Can clearing off the line.
Exits at this level are not unusual for the West London giants, who are thought to view the Blues’ matches against Leeds and Dortmund as crucial to Potter’s short-term future. Nevertheless, the Englishman can surely get back in the good graces of the powers-that-be by turning their last-16 tie around.
