Barcelona Fans Favor Dortmund Matchup in Champions League
Barcelona fans eagerly await their Champions League quarterfinal opponents after Atlético Madrid's clash with Inter and Borussia Dortmund's encounter with PSV Eindhoven finalized the last eight teams in the competition.
For the first time in three years, FC Barcelona has reached this stage of the continent's most prestigious club tournament, despite their inconsistent form.
Following their elimination of Napoli in the Round of 16, Barcelona and their supporters are already speculating about their next opponent. The official Barça website launched a poll asking fans which team they would prefer to face.
Currently leading the poll is Dortmund, a team many consider the weakest among the remaining contenders. However, what stands out is the second-place choice: Real Madrid.
If this matchup were to occur, it would mark the third "Clásico" in Champions League history, following encounters in 2002 and 2011, with each team securing a victory.
Interestingly, the least favored opponent among Barcelona fans is Manchester City, led by a familiar face: Pep Guardiola. However, it's worth noting that in their only previous Champions League encounter, Barcelona emerged victorious, so facing Guardiola's side might not evoke bad memories for Xavi's men.
