Reaching the semi-finals in the Champions League makes a difference Borussia Dortmund’s coach Edin Terzic also has hope for the upcoming Bundesliga game against the new German champions Bayer Leverkusen.
“This is a wonderful moment that you should use to get everything on your side,” said Terzic, referring to the emotional 4-2 defeat against Atlético Madrid in the premier class quarter-finals three days earlier.
About Leverkusen, who have not lost in 44 competitive games in a row, the 41-year-old said: “It’s not that easy – we’ve noticed that in the last few months – to win against Leverkusen. But we also know that we’re big We have a chance if we play something like we did in the home game on Tuesday.”
Dortmund welcomes Bayer 04 this Sunday (5.30 p.m./DAZN). The fifth-placed team from the Ruhr area is currently fighting for fourth place with RB Leipzig, which would guarantee participation in the Champions League in the coming season. Leverkusen reached the semi-finals of the Europa League with a 1-1 draw at West Ham United on Thursday evening in London.
