Dortmund Begins Champions League Campaign Against Brugge

Borussia Dortmund begins their Champions League campaign against Club Brugge, a team they have historically dominated, winning all previous encounters without conceding a goal. Dortmund's new head coach Nuri Sahin, who succeeded Edin Terzic, aims to build on last season's runner-up finish and is confident about their chances despite acknowledging the challenge posed by Brugge. Key player Karim Adeyemi is in excellent form and is expected to be pivotal for Dortmund. Club Brugge, on the other hand, has shown improvement recently, winning their last four matches but faces a tough test against Dortmund. This season, the Champions League has introduced a new format where Pot 1 teams can face each other in the group stages, promising high-caliber matchups like Real Madrid vs. Liverpool. Brugge's key players, Hans Vanaken and Andreas Skov Olsen, will be crucial if they are to break their winless streak against Dortmund.
