With the return of their key players, Borussia Dortmund aim to replicate the good form into the UCL.

It was a harsh draw given Chelsea had a penalty decision denied in the game and had to endure another set of dropped points.

The Blues have been poor since the new manager has come in and will be under pressure to see Chelsea through this tough passage.

Chelsea’s top place finish in the UCL group stage saw them to this round but progress with their current performances will be a question needing answers.

It’s set for an interesting Match up in this Round of 16 clash with the German side being the hosts in the 1st leg.
