Dortmund's "Borussia" club will face Bergamo's "Atalanta" in the Champions League knockout matches.

Before the match, BVB's head coach Niko Kovač commented on the upcoming battles:

"At this stage, the most important thing is to move forward.

But all of this doesn't happen with words, as we need to work hard on the field.

This gives us hope and belief that we can be successful in these two matches against the team from Bergamo."

"Intense matches await us. Right now, I evaluate the chances of the teams as equal. I hope we can go to Italy with a good result.

"Atalanta" has a very strong team that has grown a lot over the years. Two years ago, they won the Europa League and look promising in Italy."

The first match between the clubs will take place tomorrow, and the return leg will be next Wednesday in Bergamo.
