DEDICATION TO BARTRA
When the players went to warm up Borussia, tribune "Monaco" perked up, applauded them and began to chant "Dortmund! Dortmund!"
Surreal picture, isn't it? It is hard to imagine that the fans of one team cheered and cheered the players of the other. But in this case, everything is logical: in a day Borussia and "Monaco" got closer to each other and shared the bitterness of the misfortune that had happened. The Dortmund people themselves also warmly greeted the guests, and before the starting whistle all the fans sang a song together You’ll never walk alone ("You will never be alone"), which on this day was addressed to one specific person - Bartre.

The Spaniard, of course, was not included in the application, but he was at the stadium. And not one: hundreds of fans with their own T-shirts came to the arena, but one fan "Monaco" I even got my club jersey somewhere with the name of the defender Borussia.
The players also did not stand aside - the goalkeeper of the Germans went to warm-up with a team-mate's T-shirt worn over his uniform, with the reverse side forward.
SCARY BLACK-YELLOW WALL
Despite everything, football was the main thing that evening. And no one was going to refuse to visit the game and support their own because of the terrorist attack. Fans BorussiaAs planned, they organized a large-scale performance and even, apparently, influenced the course of the match. All fans from the famous South Stand of the Westphalian stadium donned black and yellow raincoats. And not just anyhow, but so that the emblem of your favorite club is "drawn". It turned out impressive and very unusual.
Most likely, that is why in the 17th minute he missed the goal from the penalty spot. Imagine that a huge whistling wall has grown right in front of you, on which the opponent's coat of arms is depicted. Yes, such a look will make anyone dizzy, and the Brazilian still had to realize the blow! But he missed. Second time in a row "Monaco" did not score from a penalty spot in the Champions League. And rightly so: judging by the repetitions, Mbappe voluntarily fell into the penalty area.
Besides, after a couple of minutes "Monaco" nevertheless scored: Dortmund failed to reorganize in defense after a positional attack and got a goal - the hosts forgot Lemara on the flank, and he shot right on Mbappe... The guests' young talent unsuccessfully took the ball, but it still crossed the goal line. By the way, the striker “Monaco” was in an obvious offside position, but the Italian referees did not notice this.
EXCESSIVE HELP
Borussia once again lined up according to the long-established basic scheme with three defenders, hoping to restrain the valiant daring of the princely attack. It was more important for Dortmund not to miss at home, but by the end of the first half, the tactical plan of the Germans turned into a disaster - Bender, trying to interrupt the serve to Falcao, gracefully sent the ball into his own goal with his head. It is clear that the fans "Monaco" they needed a shelter at night, and the owners came to their rescue. But why did you need to help the guests this way? During the break, he removed the nervous Bender from the field - the German had already played only his third match of the season, and even came out in an unusual position in the center of defense. Unsurprisingly, he failed this game.
In the second half Borussia left the economy regime and significantly increased the pressure on the guests. As a result, another young striker reduced the score after an acrobatic stunt - the Gabonese passed a pass through his heel, and he supplied the Frenchman with the ball.
After the goal, Dortmund did not stop, but neither did the players "Monaco" quickly recovered from the knockdown and even scored. Watching a defense error Borussia all the same Mbappe: The 18-year-old Frenchman played for only the third time in his career in the Champions League match, but has already scored his fourth goal. Apparently in the summer "Monaco" will receive gigantic money for it.
At the end Borussia still closed the lead when Kagawa pushed everyone in someone else's penalty area, but this was still not enough for the owners. If in added time Aubameyang from the goal area hit the target, the Germans could recognize the result as satisfactory. And so - “Monaco” made a weighty application for reaching the semifinals.
AS Monaco - Borussia Dortmund
Stadium: Louis II (Monaco)
Start of the match - 21.45
Arbitrator: Damir Skomina (Slovenia)
Borussia Dortmund formally remain the last team to represent Germany in the Champions League. Bayern were defeated in Madrid, and now all the eyes of both the enthusiastic Dortmund fans and the disappointed Munich are turned to the south, or rather, to the Kingdom of Monaco, where the bumblebees will try to accomplish a real feat - to pass the local team of the same name after the defeat at home. Of course, the match a week ago can be considered not entirely fair for a long time, because Borussia was forced to take to the field after a shocking event - explosions near the club bus and damage to Bartra as a result of this terrorist act. But this is a life that sometimes throws up such unpleasant tests, and therefore Tuchel's team will have to gather all the will in a fist and show their best football in a duel with the best team in France at the moment.
Yes, “Monaco” this season is incredibly good and you can admit it almost before every match. The most productive team in Europe once found the glory of the usual “money bag”, but the example of Kilian Mbappe proves that the unpleasant reputation has remained in history, and now “Monaco” claims to be the breakthrough of the season in all respects. Leonardo Jardim has built a powerful, enduring, bright team and the final success in the match against Borussia is hardly anyone's surprise. Yes, it will be difficult without the disqualified Fabinho, but Bakayoko has returned, Joao Moutinho is also aiming at the base - players are far from the last caliber and are definitely capable of replacing the Brazilian at the level.
What can Borussia expect, since the Germans will have to score at least twice at Louis II? Firstly, on the far from exemplary defense of the Monegasques, which may not resist before such a master as Aubameyang. Secondly, on their own attitude, which, for example, helped the “bumblebees” leave no stone unturned from “Benfica” in the return leg of the 1/8 finals. And thirdly, “Borussia” must present to the Kingdom of Monaco their prince - Marco Royce, who has come back very handily after an injury. The composition of the guests is very strong, they have nothing to lose, there is no need to save energy, and therefore the duel between Monaco and Dortmund promises to be one of the cherries on a sweet cake called the Champions League.
Interesting Facts:
In their last three Champions League matches, AS Monaco have scored at least three goals per game.
The last time the Monegasques reached the semi-final stage was in 2004. In the same season, they overcame this stage, but lost to Porto in the decisive match (0: 3).
2: 3 in the first match of the Champions League quarter-final was Borussia's first home defeat of the season.
Approximate lineups for the game:
"Monaco": Subasic - Touré, Jamerson, Glick, Mendy, Bernardo Silva, Moutinho, Bakayoko, Lemar, Mbappe, Falcao.
"Borussia": Burki - Pischek, Sokratis, Ginter, Schmelzer, Weigl, Royce, Dembele, Kagawa, Pulishich, Aubameyang.
Forecast for the match "Monaco" - "Borussia":
The victory of "Borussia" is estimated by the bookmakers a little higher than the other outcome, but do not forget that the traditional triumph of the guests will not suit and they are forced to look back at the wallet full of guest goals. As a result, the success of Tuchel's team is estimated at 2.25, the home team - at 3.00, and the draw - at 4.00. Very even, is not it?

Forecast for the Champions League match Borussia Dortmund - Monaco (11.04.2017)
FC Borussia Dortmund
The quarter-finals stage of the most prestigious European club tournament is good, at least because there are several even and very intriguing couples in it. The duel between the German club and the representative of France is one of those.
21-45. April 11, 2017 Champions League. Borussia Dortmund - Monaco
Borussia Dortmund - Monaco. Stadium "Westfalen". Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund
In the match between the black-and-yellows and Bayern Munich, the guests did not have anything at all in front, but the experienced and usually collected Arturo Vidal helped them, hitting the ball right on Guerreiro, and the reigning European champion closed the gap. The Portuguese himself also needs to be given his due, because he succeeded in a truly luxurious dribbling strike. But in general ... What can we talk about if Bayern had the ball 71% of the playing time, but gave 92% of accurate passes?! .. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was also disappointed, having scored 11 goals in seven previous official matches. Yes, he could have also excelled, but, having run away tete-a-tete with the goalkeeper, he shot so weakly that David Alaba managed to catch up with the ball before it crossed the goal line.
Monaco
Leonardo Jardim's team demonstrated the minimum, which was enough for success. The Monegasques had only one cool, well-thought-out combination. It's about a long pass from the middle line to the flank, to a free Bernardo Silva. The latter had time to accept, orient himself and figure out what to do next, after which he rolled the ball to the partner who was in a hurry to help. Radamel Falcao seemed to have finally recovered from the injury, and calmly and calculatedly accurately shot past the goalkeeper.
Our forecast for the match Borussia Dortmund - Monaco
Both the last matches and other "fresh" games of these teams indicate that both Dortmund and Monaco are quite tired at this stage, so we will see fewer goals rather than more. We expect no more than three goals scored.
