Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic will check Jadon Sancho, but the Manchester United loanee is expected to recover from a minor knock. Sebastien Haller’s goal on the bench saw Dortmund take part in the Madrid festival, but the first goal was to win the goal.

Atletico Madrid’s performance in the first leg justified a win as they dominated most of the match in the Spanish capital. However, they squandered key chances that had come late that day to allow Dortmund to recover.
Dortmund have slight merit in terms of form, with six wins in their last 8 games, compared to Atletico’s five in 8, but a draw will be enough for Simeone’s visitors to advance to the semi-finals.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Atletico Madrid
