Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona: Preview, team news, prediction for Champions League match

Borussia Dortmund have a massive hill to climb when they host Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Tuesday.

The Catalans were rampant in last week's first leg, winning 4-0 in a match that was every bit as one-sided as the score line suggests. That sets them up for a comfortable second leg in Dortmund, where the German side will hope for a miracle on home soil.

Here's what to know about Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona before their second leg match.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona: What the managers are saying

Niko Kovac, Borussia Dortmund

(via Borussia Dortmund)

 "We know the situation and that we didn't play well in the first leg. [Tuesday], of course, we want to show a completely different face and win the game. But we also know that Barcelona have not lost a competitive game this year. That doesn't make things easy."

Hansi Flick, Barcelona

(via Barcelona)

"I was very happy to win 4-0 at Montjuïc, but tomorrow will not be an easy game. The team should enjoy what they're doing, and we are ready to do it. We want to play well for ourselves and also for the travelling fans who always support us. We won't let our concentration drop."

Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona predicition

Dortmund will likely push to score at home, leaving themselves exposed to the counterattack. A comfortable Barca side will know they can cruise into the next round with minimal effort, but they still don't want to lose.

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 2-2 Barcelona
