·58 min·5 clips

Borussia Dortmund's season feels like 'always the same shit' just as they face a crucial Champions League match against Sevilla.

This episode of Auffe Ohren is a preview and tactical analysis of Borussia Dortmund's Champions League round of 16 first leg against Sevilla FC. Hosts Georg and Boris begin by reflecting on Dortmund's inconsistent season, describing a cycle of optimism and disappointment. They introduce guest Jan Platte, a commentator and sports journalist with expertise in Spanish football. Platte first shares an anecdote about a viral clip of his emotional commentary during a Real Madrid match. The core of the episode is a detailed breakdown of Sevilla as an opponent. Platte describes Sevilla's football under Julen Lopetegui as very reliable and team-oriented, with a clear structure and roles for each player. He notes they are on an impressive run of form. He contrasts this with Dortmund's current struggles, particularly when facing organized, deep-defending teams. Platte analyzes Sevilla's squad, highlighting the strong central defensive partnership of Diego Carlos and Jules Koundé, but points out potential vulnerabilities at the full-back positions due to injuries, suggesting areas for Dortmund to exploit. The discussion covers Sevilla's offensive threats, including striker Youssef En-Nesyri and playmakers Papu Gomez and Suso. The hosts and guest discuss the impact of injuries to players like Lucas Ocampos for Sevilla and several Dortmund players. The conversation expands to the role of Sevilla's influential sporting director, Monchi, in building the squad's culture. The pandemic's impact on football and the logistics of the Champions League are briefly addressed. A significant portion is dedicated to Platte's work as a commentator, where he details his intensive preparation process, which involves studying media, analyzing tactics, and having pre-game conversations with players, coaches, and club officials to gain insights. Finally, Platte gives his prediction for the tie, rating Sevilla as slight favorites (55-45) due to their form, but emphasizing that Dortmund, with players like Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho, definitely has a chance if they are mentally prepared and unified.
