Last season’s Champions League finalists are having a highly inconsistent season. Borussia Dortmund has been exceptional in home matches but disastrous away, earning only 2 points in the Bundesliga on the road. This poor away form has already cost them a spot in the title race. Currently, Dortmund sits in sixth place with 21 points, trailing the leader by 12 points.
Over the weekend, Borussia Dortmund played to a 1-1 draw away against Borussia Mönchengladbach, and before that, they had the same scoreline in the home Klassiker against Bayern Munich, where they conceded an equalizer in the dying moments of the match.
However, in the Champions League, things are going extremely well for Dortmund. They have 12 points, with their only loss coming away to Real Madrid in a 5-2 defeat, despite leading 2-0. Aside from that, the Black and Yellows demolished Celtic at home 7-1, thrashed Club Brugge and Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 away, and narrowly beat Sturm Graz at home (1-0). As a result, Dortmund currently holds fourth place in the group.
Barcelona, after an incredible start to the season, quickly became one of the main favorites to win every tournament they compete in. However, they hit a tough reality in November, dropping points in three consecutive La Liga matches. Nonetheless, Barcelona remains atop the La Liga standings with 38 points. Real Madrid trails by two points but has a game in hand.
Over the weekend, Barcelona lost their lead in stoppage time against Real Betis (2-2), although the Catalans were outplayed for much of the match and could have even lost if not for the heroics of Iñaki Peña. Prior to that, Hans-Dieter Flick’s side ended their poor run by thrashing Mallorca 5-1 on the road.
In the Champions League, like Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona has also earned 12 points. However, they sit in third place due to a better goal difference. In the opening round, Barcelona surprisingly lost to Monaco (1-2) but then convincingly won four consecutive matches: 5-0 against Young Boys, 4-1 against Bayern, 5-2 at Crvena Zvezda, and 3-0 against Brest.
