Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovac has told his players to view their league game against RB Leipzig on Saturday as a Champions League match, hoping some of their European success will rub off in the Bundesliga.

The two German teams in the Champions League quarterfinals are having very different Bundesliga seasons. While Bayern Munich is eight points clear at the top and confirmed its domestic supremacy with a 5-0 aggregate win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League,

Its city rival and record 15-time European champion won the first leg 2-1 with a crucial goal from Brahim Diaz to continue dominance of the Madrid derby on Europe’s biggest stage. A team from Madrid is likely to face Arsenal in the quarterfinals unless a miracle helps PSV Eindhoven come back from a massive 7-1 home loss in the first leg,

Borussia Dortmund fought back to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the second year in a row as second-half goals by Emre Can and Maximilian Beier gave them a deserved 2-1 win at Lille in their last-16 return leg on Wednesday.
