Borussia Dortmund won 2-0 at Union Berlin to stay fourth on Saturday, one point clear of RB Leipzig who handsomely defeated Bochum in an increasingly tight race for fourth spot.

Stunning seasons from league leaders Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart have left Champions League regulars Dortmund and Leipzig to battle it out for fourth spot.&nbsp;

Karim Adeyemi's 41st minute goal, his first of the season, put Dortmund on course for victory before Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen added another in stoppage time for a victory which will ease pressure on under-fire manager Edin Terzic.&nbsp;

With the hosts unbeaten at home since early November, Union goalie Frederik Ronnow kept Dortmund at bay early but the visitors eventually broke through via Adeyemi.

The Germany winger took two touches before unleashing a long-range effort which thundered in off the crossbar.

"We were a little bit sleepy at first" Adeyemi said, "but then we played ourselves into the match and had a solid performance."

Maatsen's late goal, his first since arriving on a six-month loan in January, sealed the result.&nbsp;

Leipzig, who face Real Madrid away on Wednesday in their last 16 second leg of the Champions League, stayed hot on Dortmund's heels, scoring three goals in four second-half minutes in a 4-1 win at Bochum. &nbsp;

Maximilian Wittek's opener had more than a little help from Leipzig goalie Peter Gulacsi, the Hungarian knocking a free-kick into his own net.&nbsp;

Xavi Simons' equaliser after 15 minutes was chalked off for offside, but Leipzig drew level through a long-range Dani Olmo strike on the half-hour mark.&nbsp;

Openda came on after 65 minutes and scored just three minutes later, blasting in on the counter for his 17th goal of the season. An own goal and a Yussuf Poulsen strike on the 71 and 72-minute marks ensured Leipzig would depart Bochum with the three points.&nbsp;

The victory was just Leipzig's third win in nine games this calendar year.

Mired in mid-table, Bochum have impressed at their Ruhr Stadium this season, losing just two of 12 matches, having beaten Bayern 3-2 in their last home game.

Mainz drew 1-1 with Borussia Moenchengladbach at home, Jonathan Burkardt's 12th-minute strike cancelled out by a 55th minute-goal from visiting midfielder Nathan Ngoumou.

Elsewhere, Eintracht Frankfurt won 2-1 at Heidenheim to tighten their grip on sixth place.

An own goal from Benedikt Gimber and a Niels Nkounkou strike helped the Eagles secure their first win since January, with Marvin Pieringer grabbing a consolation for the hosts. &nbsp;

Augsburg scored five goals in the opening half an hour to thump rock-bottom Darmstadt 6-0.

Phillip Tietz and Ermedin Demirovic both scored doubles in the dominant victory, with promoted Darmstadt 12 points from safety and looking on course for an immediate return to the second division.

Later on Saturday, third-placed Stuttgart can go four points behind second-place Bayern Munich with a win away at Wolfsburg.&nbsp;

League leaders Bayer Leverkusen play on Sunday at Cologne and can extend their lead atop the Bundesliga table to 10 points with a win.

Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig win to keep Champions League race tight

Donyell Malen scored a first-half brace as Borussia Dortmund eased to a 3-0 home victory over Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Friday.

Striker Niclas Fuellkrug, celebrating his 31st birthday, laid on both goals for the Netherlands winger, before grabbing one of his own in the dying stages.

The win sends Dortmund four points clear of fifth-placed RB Leipzig, with the Saxons playing at Augsburg on Saturday.

Malen, who was linked with a move away from Dortmund in the winter transfer window, has now scored four goals in his last four games.

"From the start we had the right intensity and scored at the right moments," Malen told DAZN. "We've made some good steps since (the) winter (break)."

Dortmund have taken 13 points from five league games to boost their bid for a Champions League place.

"I wished for a win for my birthday -- and maybe a bit of birthday cake as well," Fuellkrug told DAZN.

Coach Edin Terzic could call on the services of several returning first-team players, including Marco Reus, Julian Brandt and Julian Ryerson, along with Englishman Jadon Sancho, who started on the bench.

In the 16th minute, Malen was teed up by Fuellkrug, who held up the ball with his back to goal and found the Dutchman, who spun on the spot before unleashing a rocket into the roof of the net.

Fuellkrug was again the provider for Dortmund's second, holding up the ball on the counter-attack before passing to Malen, who blasted across the face of goal and in.

The goal came deep into first-half injury time. The match was delayed by 12 minutes due to fans throwing tennis balls onto the pitch as part of ongoing league-wide protests against foreign investment in German football.

"I can understand the fans, it's their stage and they want to use it to make themselves heard," Fuellkrug said.

"But from a sporting perspective it's not so great when you're frequently interrupted and have to keep warm -- it's not like it's 25 degrees at the moment."

Fuellkrug scored a goal of his own late in the game, heading in a cross from Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen with three minutes remaining.

Brought on with the clock winding down, Sancho -- who missed last week's draw with Heidenheim with a muscle injury -- had two chances to score but fired his efforts wide.

With nine Bundesliga goals so far this campaign, Malen has already equalled his total from last season.

The loss continued seventh-placed Freiburg's poor record in Dortmund.

They have not won at the Westfalenstadion since 2001, having lost 15 and drawn one of their past 16 games there.

Third-placed Stuttgart can restore the gap to Dortmund to three points with a win over struggling Mainz on Sunday.&nbsp;

On Saturday, league leaders Bayer Leverkusen host second-placed Bayern Munich.

Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen, still yet to lose a match after 30 games in all competitions this year, sit two points ahead of Bayern.

Bundesliga: Donyell Malen brace fires Borussia Dortmund past Freiburg

Jadon Sancho rejoined Borussia Dortmund on loan for the rest of the season on Thursday, less than three years since Manchester United paid £73 million ($93 million, 85 million euros) for the England winger.

Sancho had been frozen out at United for most of the season after becoming involved in a public spat with manager Erik ten Hag.

The 23-year-old posted on social media in September that he had been made a "scapegoat" at the club for poor performances after being left out of the matchday squad for a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.

Sancho has not played a minute for the Red Devils since and been forced to train away from the first team.

Even prior to the breakdown of his relationship with the former Ajax boss, Sancho never lived up to his price tag at Old Trafford.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/nepals-star-cricketer-sandeep-lamichhane-jailed-for-eight-years-for-rape-678703/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

He scored just 12 times in 82 appearances and struggled to hold down a regular first-team place under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ten Hag.

But he will hope a return to the club where he made his name as one of Europe's rising stars can rejuvenate his career.

"Jadon is an absolute difference maker and I'm looking forward to seeing him back in black and yellow soon," said Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl.

"He knows this city, the stadium, our fans and our club. Even though he hasn't played any competitive games in the past few months, we are sure that he will quickly settle back in with us, get into top form and use his qualities to help us achieve our goals for the season."

German media reports the deal will cost Dortmund roughly four million euros and that Sancho has agreed to take a significant cut to his reported £300,000-a-week wages.&nbsp;

<h2>Homecoming</h2>

After joining from the Manchester City academy aged just 17, Sancho scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists in 137 appearances during his first spell at Dortmund, helping them to win the 2021 German Cup and 2019 German Super Cup.

"When I came into the dressing room today, it felt like 'coming home'. I know the club inside out, I've always been very close with the fans here, and I there was no break in contact with those in charge," said Sancho.

"I can't wait to see my teammates again, go out on the pitch, play football with a smile on my face, assist goals, score goals and help achieve Champions League qualification."

Dortmund are betting on Sancho rediscovering his form of old to help turn their season around.

They sit fifth in the Bundesliga, six points adrift of the Champions League places after a run of just one win in eight games prior to the German season shutting down for its winter break.

But Dortmund did win the toughest group in the Champions League, knocking out AC Milan and Newcastle to progress to the last 16, where they will face PSV Eindhoven.

United are also hoping that Sancho can show why they splashed out on him to attract a bidding war for his services come the summer.

Ten Hag has been criticised for his failure to reconcile their differences and get the best out of one of his star names as United have struggled during his second campaign in charge.

The English giants have lost 14 times in 29 games this season to crash out of European competition, the League Cup and slip to eighth in the Premier League table.

An upturn in fortunes could even revive Sancho's chances of appearing for his country in Germany later this year at Euro 2024.

He was part of the England squad that reached the final of the last European Championship in 2021, missing one of the crucial spot-kicks in a penalty shootout defeat to Italy.

But the last of Sancho's 23 international caps came in October 2021.

Football: Borussia Dortmund go top of Bundesliga after Julian Brandt's lone goal sinks Werder Bremen

Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid and Lazio all qualified for the knockout phase of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Manchester City bounced back from 2-0 down to beat RB Leipzig with both teams already qualified, while Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle drew 1-1 and both need a result on matchday six to go through.

Atletico Madrid booked their place with a sumptuous volley from defender Mario Hermoso and two own goals firing them to a thrilling 3-1 win over Dutch champions Feyenoord.

"I am very happy for the players. Today, we knew how difficult our opponent would be," said Atletico coach Diego Simeone to Movistar.

That left Atletico with 11 points in Group E ahead of 10-point Lazio, who had a tense wait after playing earlier and needing a Feyenoord defeat to confirm their place.

Veteran Italian striker Ciro Immobile shot the Italian side into the last-16 in a 2-0 win over eliminated Celtic in Rome, leaving Feyenoord to join the Europa League.

In Group H, Barcelona came from behind to beat Porto 2-1 as Portuguese duo Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix both netted to turn the game on its head after Brazilian winger Pepe opened for Porto.

"It was a final and we won it ... we've put the club in the last-16, which is where it deserves to be," Cancelo told Movistar.

The Spanish champions now have 12 points while Porto are locked on nine alongside Shakhtar Donetsk, who beat Antwerp 1-0 in Hamburg.

<h2>- Newcastle pay the penalty -</h2>

Borussia Dortmund secured their spot in the last-16 with a 3-1 win at AC Milan, who are staring early elimination in the face.

Marco Reus' early penalty and second-half strikes from English teenager Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Karim Adeyemi secured passage into the next round with a match to spare for Dortmund.

There was late drama at the Parc des Princes when a 98th-minute Kylian Mbappe penalty earned Paris Saint-Germain a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United.

It looked as though Newcastle -- who won 4-1 when the sides met at St James' Park last month -- were going to leave Paris with all three points in the Group F encounter thanks to Alexander Isak's 24th-minute opener.

PSG had run out of ideas by the time they were gifted an opportunity to salvage a draw in injury time when the VAR decided a Tino Livramento handball in the box was worthy of a penalty.

Mbappe made no mistake from the spot, and PSG hold onto second place in the group behind Borussia Dortmund.

"I'm feeling very flat, but very proud of the players and their commitment levels," said Newcastle coach Eddie Howe to TNT Sports.

PSG had run out of ideas by the time they were gifted an opportunity to salvage a draw in injury time when the VAR decided a Tino Livramento handball in the box was worthy of a penalty. Mbappe made no mistake from the spot, and PSG hold onto second place in the group behind Borussia Dortmund. "I'm feeling very flat, but very proud of the players and their commitment levels," said Newcastle coach Eddie Howe to TNT Sports.

Borussia Dortmund punished Manchester United's defensive lapses on Sunday as the English Premier League giants wrapped up their North American tour with a 3-2 defeat to the Bundesliga side in Las Vegas.

A second-half strike by Dortmund substitute Youssoufa Moukoko proved the difference in an entertaining clash at the Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders.

United manager Erik ten Hag named a virtual reserve team to start, leaving the likes of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and new signing Mason Mount on the bench.

Yet United's makeshift starting XI were more than a match for Dortmund in the first half, dominating for long periods before Diogo Dalot handed the Red Devils the lead on 24 minutes with a long-range strike.

But Dortmund turned the game on its head in the closing minutes of the first half, with two goals in a minute from Netherlands international forward Donyell Malen.

The first came when United's defense failed to close down Karim Adeyemi's burst down the right.&nbsp;

Despite the attention of a cluster of United defenders, Adeyemi was able to square for Malen, who hooked in from close range.

Malen grabbed his second a minute later, this time seizing on a United howler when Victor Lindelof lost possession inside the area trying to pass out from the back.

United were lucky not to go 3-1 down in the opening minutes of the second half, when another defensive slip, this time by Harry Maguire, allowed Sebastien Haller a shot on goal.&nbsp;

United goalkeeper Andre Onana saved and then watched in relief as Adeyemi blasted the follow-up wide with the goal gaping.&nbsp;

United did get back on level terms in the 52nd minute, when Brazilian forward Antony swept home a low shot from inside the area after a botched clearance by Dortmund veteran Mats Hummels.

Ten Hag rang in the changes with 30 minutes remaining, with Rashford instantly providing more of an attacking threat.

But it was Dortmund who scored the decisive goal, with veteran Marco Reus working a clever opening to set up Moukoko for the winner.

Football Transfers: Raphael Guerreiro joins Bayern Munich from Borussia Dortmund on free transfer

Spanish giants Real Madrid signed Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday to secure one of the most exciting young talents in world football.

Madrid made the 19-year-old one of the most expensive players of all time with a 103 million euro ($110 million) deal, which could rise by up to 30 percent more.

Bellingham burst onto the biggest stage at the Qatar World Cup in 2022, driving England into the quarter-finals, where they were narrowly ousted by eventual runners-up France.

The midfielder, who turns 20 later in June, brought grace and balance to the Three Lions, with tireless energy to contribute at both ends of the pitch and maturity beyond his years.

That cool head helped him become Dortmund's youngest captain when he took the armband last October, and he took them to the brink of a rare title.

Dortmund coach Edin Terzic has called Bellingham "the oldest 19-year-old in the world" and was taken aback by his unfluctuating level of performance.

"It is extraordinary to be able to play football so consistently at that age," said Terzic.

Bellingham scored eight goals in 31 Bundesliga appearances this season and was named the German top flight's player of the season in May, two days after his team missed out on the title in the final game of the season.

The Englishman was an unused substitute in the 2-2 draw with Mainz after sustaining a knee injury, watching on with frustration as his team failed to earn the victory which would have clinched their first title since 2012.

Bellingham began his career at Birmingham City, coming through the youth ranks and helping them avoid relegation from the Championship in his one first-team campaign at the club, 2019-20.

The midfielder became Birmingham's youngest ever player at 16 years and 38 days old, beating Trevor Francis' previous 1970 record.

Birmingham made the bold choice to&nbsp;retire Bellingham's shirt number, 22, when he left for Dortmund in 2020, "to remember one of our own and to inspire others".

The German side splashed 25 million euros ($27 million) on the then 17-year-old, which they have more than quadrupled now.

Real Madrid set to sign 'extraordinary' teen midfielder Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund

Bayern Munich clinched their 11th consecutive title in dramatic style in the Bundesliga on Saturday, May 27 after Borussia Dortmund’s failure to win was coupled with their 2-1 win over FC Koln. Dortmund were clinching the title in the 89th minute of the contest before Jamal Musiala scored the winner for Bayern Munich against Koln while Dortmund drew 2-2. Dortmund came into the matchday with their fate in their own hands, but instead handed Bayern their 11th title in a row and failed to break their supremacy in the league.

Bundesliga: Bayern Munich clinch 11th consecutive title in dramatic style after Dortmund's draw against Mainz

Real Madrid are closing in on Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, with Spanish reports Wednesday saying a deal will soon be reached.

The England international, 19, is one of the brightest prospects in world football and is poised to move for over 100 million Euros ($110 million), with Dortmund said to want considerably more.

Bellingham excelled at the World Cup with England in 2022 and has also drawn interest from Madrid's Champions League semi-final opponents Manchester City.

The midfielder signed for Dortmund at 17 from Championship team Birmingham City for 29 million Euros ($32 million) and has become a key player for the German side.&nbsp;

Spanish newspaper Marca say any deal between Madrid and Dortmund will not be announced until the end of the Bundesliga season, with Bellingham's side a point behind leaders Bayern Munich in the title race.

Madrid are looking to find long-term replacements for their veteran players, including midfielders Luka Modric, 37, and Toni Kroos, 33.

Los Blancos brought in young French duo Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni over the past two summer transfer windows and sold holding midfielder Casemiro to Manchester United.

Bellingham has scored 21 goals for Dortmund in 130 appearances across all competitions since arriving in 2020.

Real will look to close the season on a high as they chase a double of Champions League and Copa del Rey while La Liga remains out of hand. Barcelona will be officially the champions of Spain for the first time since 2019 on the weekend while they will face Manchester City in the semifinal of the Champions League.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side is already in the final of the Copa del Rey where they will face Osasuna later this month. However, their eyes will be on the Champions League as they look to win the competition for the sixth time in less than a decade. They are also the defending champions of Europe, having beaten Liverpool in the 2022 showdown in Paris.

Spanish giants Real Madrid close in on Jude Bellingham deal - Reports

Borussia Dortmund went top of the Bundesliga table after a 4-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt, making the most of Bayern Munich's earlier 3-1 loss at Mainz on Saturday.

A double from Dutch forward Donyell Malen and goals from English teenager Jude Bellingham and veteran Mats Hummels snared the three points for Dortmund, setting up a knife-edged title race with five games remaining.

With Bayern's game finishing an hour before kickoff in Dortmund, the home side knew a win would take them outright first on the table.

Bellingham settled Dortmund's nerves early, collecting a pass from Julian Brandt pass before pirouetting and firing a shot home.

Malen doubled up five minutes later, scoring for the fifth consecutive league match, before Hummels headed in a third &nbsp;just before halftime.&nbsp;

Malen scored his second midway through the second half, again assisted by Karim Adeyemi.

Unlike last week, where Dortmund gave away 2-0 and 3-2 leads against a ten-man Stuttgart to draw 3-3, there would be no late collapse as the home side leapfrogged Bayern into first by one point.

Dortmund have five more matches, three of which are at home, as they pursue their first league title in a decade.

Dortmund manager Edin Terzic said "we showed how well we can play today", but would not bite when asked if his side were on the way to a title.

"It was a really good step in the right direction."

Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner lamented the home side's "brutal efficiency" and has now lost eight from eight against Dortmund.&nbsp;

<h2>Mainz 'knockout' Bayern</h2>

Bayern lost their lead atop the table after slumping to a 3-1 loss at Mainz, thanks to three goals in 14 minutes from the home side.&nbsp;

Mainz trailed 1-0 at halftime thanks to a first goal since October from Bayern's Sadio Mane, but hit back through Ludovic Ajorque, Leandro Barreiro and Aaron Martin.

Bayern have now won just two from seven since sacking manager Julian Nagelsmann for former Dortmund and Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel in late March.&nbsp;

Speaking to German TV after the match, Tuchel said "they gave us a knockout", saying the side "had too much going on right now to fight back".

Tuchel said he would give his players three days off ahead of next week's clash against rock-bottom Hertha Berlin.

Mainz are now unbeaten in 10 league games and sporting director Martin Schmidt said he was "at a loss for words" to explain his side's form.

"It's unbelievable what the team is doing."

Borussia Dortmund went top of the Bundesliga table after a 4-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt, making the most of Bayern Munich's earlier 3-1 loss at Mainz on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund went top of the Bundesliga table after a 4-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt, making the most of Bayern Munich's earlier 3-1 loss at Mainz on Saturday. A double from Dutch forward Donyell Malen and goals from English teenager Jude Bellingham and veteran Mats Hummels snared the three points for Dortmund, setting up a knife-edged title race with five games remaining. With Bayern's game finishing an hour before kickoff in Dortmund, the home side knew a win would take them outright first on the table. Bellingham settled Dortmund's nerves early, collecting a pass from Julian Brandt pass before pirouetting and firing a shot home. Malen doubled up five minutes later, scoring for the fifth consecutive league match, before Hummels headed in a third just before halftime. Malen scored his second midway through the second half, again assisted by Karim Adeyemi. Unlike last week, where Dortmund gave away 2-0 and 3-2 leads against a ten-man Stuttgart to draw 3-3, there would be no late collapse as the home side leapfrogged Bayern into first by one point. Dortmund have five more matches, three of which are at home, as they pursue their first league title in a decade. Dortmund manager Edin Terzic said "we showed how well we can play today", but would not bite when asked if his side were on the way to a title. "It was a really good step in the right direction." Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner lamented the home side's "brutal efficiency" and has now lost eight from eight against Dortmund.

Mainz trailed 1-0 at halftime thanks to a first goal since October from Bayern's Sadio Mane, but hit back through Ludovic Ajorque, Leandro Barreiro and Aaron Martin. Bayern have now won just two from seven since sacking manager Julian Nagelsmann for former Dortmund and Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel in late March. Speaking to German TV after the match, Tuchel said "they gave us a knockout", saying the side "had too much going on right now to fight back". Tuchel said he would give his players three days off ahead of next week's clash against rock-bottom Hertha Berlin. Mainz are now unbeaten in 10 league games and sporting director Martin Schmidt said he was "at a loss for words" to explain his side's form. "It's unbelievable what the team is doing."

Bundesliga: Mainz stun Bayern Munich 3-1 to hand major jolt in title race

Bayern Munich overran a hapless Borussia Dortmund to win Der Klassiker 4-2 on Saturday as three goals in the opening 23 minutes helped them reclaim top spot in the Bundesliga and hand new coach Thomas Tuchel a winning start.

The Bavarians, who face Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals on April 11, were in ominous form as they went back into top spot on 55 points, leaving Dortmund two behind in second place with eight matches remaining.

With Tuchel, who also coached Dortmund from 2015-2107, having replaced Julian Nagelsmann on the Bayern bench, the hosts were all over their title rivals from the start.

They went in front thanks to Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel's 13th-minute howler when he completely miskicked his attempt to clear a Dayot Upamecano punt from the Bayern half and saw the ball roll into the net for an own goal.

Before Dortmund managed to regroup, Bayern scored again with Thomas Mueller turning the ball in with his hip at the far post after a Joshua Kimmich corner was headed on by Matthijs de Ligt in the 18th.

Kobel's comeback from a five-week injury break turned into a complete nightmare five minutes later as he punched a Leroy Sane shot into the path of Mueller to score an easy tap-in that left the Dortmund players in complete disbelief.

The visitors' ordeal was not over, with Bayern scoring seemingly at will and Kingsley Coman racing in to slot in their fourth goal six minutes after the restart.

With Dortmund's defence torn to shreds and club bosses frozen in their seats at the Allianz Arena, Bayern never took their foot off the gas.

Some sloppy finishing, however, saw them squander half a dozen golden chances in the second half before Dortmund struck twice late in the game, with an Emre Can penalty in the 72nd minute and a stoppage-time effort from Donyell Malen.

Tuchel, who previously also coached Paris St Germain and Chelsea, could not have dreamt of a better start with Bayern on course for a record-stretching 11th league crown.

Bundesliga: Bayern Munich claim top spot after 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in Thomas Tuchel debut

The Champions League (CL) Round of 16 second legs will have an entertaining contest on hands on Tuesday (March 7) evening as Chelsea take on Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge. Graham Potter, already under pressure for lack of results as Chelsea manager will have a decisive evening as his side tries to come from 0-1 down. In the other contest of the evening, Club Brugge will make a trip to Lisbon to take on Benfica as they too try to come from 0-2 down and advance.

<h3>Decisive night for Potter?</h3>

Even before the ball has been kicked in the contest, Graham Potter will know that the night could bring curtains on his brief spell as Chelsea manager. The Blues are unlikely to make Europe next season as their best possible route to silverware this season is winning the Champions League. Unlike Roberto Di Matteo and Thomas Tuchel, Potter has failed to revive the hopes of his side as his aforementioned predecessors have gone on to win the competition.

Chelsea will need the backing of the home crowd as they try to come from behind having trailed 0-1 from the affair in Germany in February. The solitary goal from Karim Adeyemi in the second half of the German leg saw the London side return with empty hands despite playing some of the best football in the Potter era.

Much to the worry of the team, the team is unlikely to risk Cesar Azpilicueta from the start while Thiago Silva is also out due to a knee injury he suffered against Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday. The West London side will come into the contest with a winning momentum having beaten Leeds United 1-0 over the weekend.

Christopher Trimmel has accounted for five assists this season while Sheraldo Becker is the highest scorer for them with seven goals. Even if Union fall short of the title, a Champions League group stage for next season looks all but sealed for a club that resided in the second tier of Germany not so long ago.

Are Dortmund, Union finally ready to dethrone Bayern Munich after decade-long rein as German Champions?

Borussia Dortmund's young superstar Karim Adeyemi has revealed how he was able to torpedo through the Chelsea defence during the first leg of the round of 16 tie against the London-based team.

Borussia Dortmund's young superstar Karim Adeyemi has revealed how he was able to torpedo through the Chelsea defence during the first leg of the round of 16 tie against the London-based team. Adeyemi scored a superb solo goal during which he beat Chelsea's new $100 million signing Enzo Fernandez in the footrace. The 21-year-old attributed African food as the reason for his blistering pace which was at full display on Wednesday night in front of a packed Signal Iduna crowd. "I eat a lot of African food! I have good genetics from my dad so I think it will be difficult," Adeyemi told CBSSportGolazo in a post-match interview. When further quizzed as to what kind of African food he ate, Adeyemi revealed, “It is called fufu, and it’s a Nigerian food which is very good.” Read more: World Cup model who went viral for her boldness reveals her Premier Club allegiances With the game deadlocked at 0-0 till after the hour mark, it was Adeyemi that seized upon a counterattack opportunity and beat Fernandez who just could not gather the pace to catch him. Asked if he was the fastest player in Germany, Adeyemi laughed and said, “I don’t know. But it’s one thing I can do good but the other players can also do other stuff better.” Read more: 'It's a shame...': Mikel Arteta blasts Arsenal for shipping three goals against Manchester City Dortmund manager Edin Terzić was full praise of Adeyemi and even started his post-match conference with 'Meep Meep', referring to the Roadrunner cartoon. “This is the quality of Karim. It was a corner kick and we defended it quite well – it was a dangerous situation – but then when you see his acceleration, this is something we showed him at halftime," Terzić told BT Sports. "His first touch was there to accelerate the game and then, if you’re quick like this, it’s going to be very tough for any defense to defend him. And it was a great goal. It was very important as it was the winning goal.” Despite winning the first leg, the men in yellow and black will be wary of the danger of such a slender lead. The team will travel to Stamford Bridge next month for the second leg. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE:

'Better team went out...': Jude Bellingham after England lose to France in WC quarterfinal

Borussia Dortmund's Anthony Modeste headed in a last-gasp equaliser to complete a sensational two-goal comeback and snatch a 2-2 draw against visitors Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga's Der Klassiker on Saturday.&nbsp;

The 34-year-old Modeste, who had faced massive criticism after netting just once in the league following his arrival this season, headed in at the far post with the last touch of the game after also setting up their first goal, to rescue a point and keep Bayern off top spot.

He also snapped Dortmund's eight-game losing run to Bayern in all competitions as the Bavarians ended the match with 10 men after Kingsley Coman was sent off in the 90th minute for a second booking.

Bayern, who face Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League on Wednesday, are on 16 points as many as Dortmund, with Union Berlin and Freiburg, both on 17, in action on Sunday.

"Had we scored that third goal then the game would have been over," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said.

"But then we concede a goal out of a not-so-dangerous situation. We definitely should have defended better. The last two or three minutes, with a player less, it was an open game. It is frustrating for us but that's the way it is. Overall it's a fair result."

Goretzka threaded a low shot through a crowded box to open the scoring with Bayern's first chance of the game in a high-intensity encounter in front of a sold-out 81,000 crowd at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.

Dortmund, who host Sevilla in the Champions League on Tuesday, were equally aggressive but also had only few shots on target in the entire first half, including a clever Raphael Guerreiro effort that tested keeper Manuel Neuer.

The visitors shot out of the blocks after the break and Sadio Mane should have done better with a diving header in front of an empty goal from close range in the 49th.

Leroy Sane quickly made amends in the 53rd for his teammate's miss, unleashing a fierce shot with Dortmund keeper Alexander Meyer getting a hand on the ball but unable to turn it wide.

With Bayern thinking they had done enough to win, 17-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko set up a dramatic finale when he picked up a Modeste pass to beat keeper Neuer and become the youngest scorer in the history of Der Klassiker.

Neuer managed to claw away a Modeste effort on the line in the 83rd but was beaten when the French striker headed in deep in stoppage time.

UEFA Champions League: Group stage draws revealed, Manchester City  take on Borussia Dortmund and more

Cristiano Ronaldo's search for a new club isn't coming to an end anytime soon. The Manchester United striker has reportedly been eager to exit the Old Trafford club and join somewhere else where he can get to play the UEFA Champions League. However, his search has not led to desirable results so far.

In the recent past, Ronaldo has been linked with several top clubs such as Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain, Chelsea, Athletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, etc. However, his agent Jorge Mendes has only received a 'No' for his client. As a per a report&nbsp;German news outlet&nbsp;BILD,&nbsp;it is believed that the 37-year-old Portugese captain was willing to undergo a pay-cut to be a part of Borussia Dortmund.

While media reports have suggested that Ronaldo's agent Mendes did hold talks with&nbsp;Dortmund bosses over the possible transfer of his superstar client, the&nbsp;club's CEO&nbsp;Hans-Joachim Watzke&nbsp;has denied all such claims. The Dortmund CEO reportedly said, as per&nbsp;The Mirror,&nbsp;"I love him as a player, it’s certainly a charming idea. To see Cristiano Ronaldo play at Signal Iduna Park but there is no contact at all between the parties involved. So from now on, you should stop talking about it."

So far, Ronaldo has not got a lot of a game time for Man United in the ongoing EPL 2022/23 season. He has even failed to make any sort of an impact for the Red Devils in his limited appearances in the three encounters so far, where the club has won only one win.

Borussia Dortmund mount late comeback against SC Freiburg as they record a 3-1 win

Borussia Dortmund striker Sebastien Haller has been diagnosed with a testicular tumour. Haller had complained of feeling unwell during Dortmund's ongoing pre-season training camp in Switzerland. He underwent a medical examination on Monday when it was revealed that he has a testicular tumour. Haller had recently joined Dortmund from Dutch club Ajax.

The 28-year-old was one of the best players for Ajax in the Eredivisie - the Dutch top flight last season and scored 21 goals in 31 matches for Ajax before securing a switch to Dortmund this summer. He is yet to make his first start for the Bundesliga outfit, who are on their pre-season tour in Switzerland.

Dortmund said it was shocking news for everyone at the club and that they will do everything in their power to help Haller make a full recovery. “This news today came as a shock to Sebastien Haller and everyone else,” said Sebastian Kehl, Dortmund's sporting director.

“The entire BVB family hopes that Sébastien makes a full recovery as soon as possible and that we can give him a hug again soon. We’ll do everything in our power to ensure that he receives the best possible treatment," he added.

Sebastien Haller issues emotional statement after being diagnosed with testicular tumour

Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland scored on his last game for the German club as they beat Hertha Berlin 2-1 on Saturday in the season finale, forcing their opponents into a relegation playoff.

Haaland scored with a penalty to level the score at 1-1 with his 86th goal in his 89th match in all competitions since 2020, as Dortmund finished runners'-up to champions Bayern Munich.

Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/manchester-city-reach-agreement-to-sign-erling-haaland-from-borussia-dortmund-478074">Manchester City reach agreement to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund</a>

The Norwegian will join Manchester City next season in a multi-year deal reportedly worth up to 300 million euros.

Hertha took the lead with an 18th minute penalty, after Ishak Belfodil was brought down in the box and the Algerian stepped up to convert the spot kick himself.

Erling Haaland scores in farewell appearance for Borussia Dortmund ahead of Man City move

Manchester City have reached an agreement to sign Norwegian striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund on July 1, the two clubs announced on Tuesday. "The transfer remains subject to the club finalising terms with the player," City said.

City did not provide financial details of the deal but German media reported that the total cost of buying Haaland in a multi-year deal could exceed 300 million euros ($316.08 million), including his salary, agent fees and bonuses.

Dortmund said once the transfer goes through, the club expects a "positive effect on the key earnings figures for the 2022/2023 financial year" in the range of 35-40 million euros.

The 21-year-old striker`s value has skyrocketed thanks to his prolific form at Dortmund after joining them from the Austrian side Salzburg two years ago. British media reported Haaland had passed his medical on Monday, with Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp saying it was a transfer that will "set new levels" in the Premier League.

Haaland has scored 85 goals in 88 games for Dortmund since his debut in January 2020. He was last season`s top scorer in the Champions League as well as the UEFA Nations League. This season he has 21 goals in the Bundesliga from 20 starts, with Dortmund set to finish second in the league behind champions Bayern Munich when the season concludes on Saturday.

But Dortmund failed to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages, dropping to the Europa League where they did not make it past the playoffs. City have been in the hunt to replace Sergio Aguero after the Argentine striker -- the club`s all-time top scorer with 254 goals -- moved to Barcelona on a free transfer last year.

Manchester City reach agreement to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have been eliminated from the DFB Cup last 16 after the reigning champions lost 2-1 away to Bundesliga 2 leaders FC St. Pauli on Tuesday.

A first-half strike from Etienne Amenyido and an Axel Witsel own goal helped second-tier St. Pauli to a 2-1 win and a place in the quarter-finals for the first time in 16 years.

Dortmund had won their previous eight DFB Cup games before facing Bundesliga 2 leaders, Pauli, but BVB were quickly up against it at a lively Millerntor-Stadion where Etienne Amenyido connected with Marcel Hartel`s cut-back before finishing from close range.

The Black &amp; Yellows registered 67 per cent possession in the opening half, but needed to be quicker and sharper to carve open additional gilt-edged opportunities. Instead, St. Pauli converted their second chance to double their advantage, with Witsel unluckily turning Burgstaller`s cross from the right into his own net.

Medic handled Hummels` cross, to which referee Osmers went over to the monitor to review the incident and pointed to the spot. Haaland slotted the ensuing penalty into the bottom right corner (58`).

The five-time winners subsequently went in search of an all-important equaliser, however, tame Jude Bellingham and Donyell Malen efforts aside, Die Schwarzgelben never seriously threatened Smarsch`s goal as Pauli comfortably held on for a famous scalp.

Notably, Dortmund have either gone out at the last-16 stage or won the competition in the last nine seasons.

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland said the club have been pressing him to make a decision about his future and therefore "things will happen now", as the Norwegian continues to attract interest from several top European sides.

The 21-year-old, who has scored 21 goals this season, joined Dortmund from RB Salzburg in 2020 and has gone on to establish himself as one of the continent`s hottest properties.

"The last six months I have chosen not to say anything out of respect for Dortmund, but now the club has started to press me into making a decision," Haaland, who scored twice in Dortmund`s 5-1 win Norwegian broadecaster Viaplay.

Haaland, whose contract runs until 2024, added that he would have preferred to focus on football instead of being distracted by talk of his future during a busy run of fixtures for Dortmund, who trail Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich by three points.

"We are in the middle of a difficult period, with a lot of games," Haaland said. 
"I have said from the beginning that I want to focus on football, because that is when I am at my best. But I can`t do that now."

'Things will happen now': Erling Haaland being pressed by Borussia Dortmund to make decision on future

Top scorer Robert Lewandowski scored twice, including a second-half penalty, to guide the German champions to a crucial 3-2 victory at title rivals Borussia Dortmund on Saturday and a four-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.

The Pole opened his account in the ninth minute to level after Dortmund had taken an early lead through Julian Brandt, and then converted a controversial 77th-minute spot kick to seal victory with his 16th goal of the campaign.

Kingsley Coman had put Bayern in front a minute before the break before Erling Haaland equalised for the hosts with a superbly curled effort in the 48th.

In an action-packed encounter, Dortmund coach Marco Rose was sent off with a second booking for dissent following the penalty decision.

Bayern, chasing a record-extending 10th league crown, move up to 34 points with this sixth straight league win over their rivals, leaving Dortmund in second place on 30. Bayer Leverkusen are in third place on 27.

"I think we deserved to win but I also understand the discussions over the two penalty situations," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said.

ENTERTAINING FIRST HALF

Dortmund were fuming about the penalty decision in favour of Bayern after having been denied a VAR review in a penalty claim of their own earlier.

"It was a very tight game that was worthy of its reputation. We could have scored more in the first half," Nagelsmann said.

"Dortmund did it well early in the second half but we found our rhythm again and had good control."

The game instantly lived up to its billing with Haaland charging through after two minutes and keeper Manuel Neuer clearing the ball just in time.

Brandt did it better a little later, peeling off his marker and thundering in for the lead.

Bayern drew level four minutes later when defender Mats Hummels clumsily tried to clear a high ball before Thomas Mueller got it but the ball fell for Lewandowski.

In a hugely entertaining, end-to-end first half in front of a limited 15,000 crowd, both teams had their share of opportunities, with Haaland firing just wide on the half-hour mark and Coman twice coming close for the visitors.

The winger did get on the score sheet a minute before the break when after another sloppy Dortmund clearance the Frenchman fired in to beat keeper Gregor Kobel.

Three minutes after the restart it was Dortmund`s turn to come back, with Jude Bellingham laying the ball off for Haaland on the left and the Norwegian bagging his 51st goal in his 51st Bundesliga match with a delightful curled shot into the top corner.

But the controversial Hummels handball decision following a lengthy VAR review allowed Lewandowski to score his 26th goal in all competitions against his former club.

Football: Manchester United set to sign Jadon Sancho from Dortmund in a $101m deal

The sports hall doors in the quiet Norwegian town of Bryne were always open, a welcome escape for the local children. Many football talents emerged, but one in particular stuck out: Erling Braut Haaland.

It was in this town of some 12,000 inhabitants in a country obsessed with winter sports that possibly the most exciting young footballer in the world first stepped onto the pitch.

"He always scored a lot," Alf Ingve Berntsen, a physical education teacher at the local high school who coached Haaland as a child, tells AFP.

"When he was 12, he started playing with the 13-year-olds and kept scoring. When he was selected for the regional team, he scored again. Then, when he was 15, he was called up to the (youth) national team and... he scored.

"We saw quite quickly that he could become a very big name. But we didn't think it would happen so quickly, that he would be a top scorer in the Champions League at the age of 19-20."

A tour of the town leaves little doubt about the 20-year-old's roots in the region, once the scene of an epic Viking battle.

The area around Bryne, which boasts the highest concentration of tractors in Norway, encompasses a rural hamlet called "Braut". A few kilometres away, an industrial zone bears the name "Haaland".

<h2>39 boys and one girl&nbsp;</h2>

Haaland was born on July 21, 2000 in the English&nbsp;city&nbsp;of Leeds, where his father Alf-Inge played until just before the arrival of his son and a transfer to&nbsp;Manchester&nbsp;City.

Haaland senior was an international midfielder who made 34 appearances for Norway and played in the Premier League for the majority of his career until his retirement through injury in 2003, aged just 30 and still a&nbsp;City&nbsp;player.

The following year he moved his family to Bryne, which is where he had broken through as a youth product in the early 1990s.

Following in his father's footsteps, the young Haaland favoured football over athletics, the favourite sport of his mother Gry Marita Braut, a former heptathlon champion for Norway.

It was here the seeds were sown for Haaland's future career, and where he met Alf Ingve Berntsen, who coached a group of 40 youngsters, 39 boys and one talented girl -- Norway youth international Andrea Norheim.

Following the philosophy of not leaving anyone behind and keeping all players engaged, everyone got the same amount of time on the pitch regardless of skills.

"Erling was small and rather lightweight, but given his genes we knew he would probably grow up to be a big guy," Berntsen remembers.

"Even though he was physically a bit inferior to the others, he scored so many goals that we thought 'Wow, imagine when he's big and strong'."

It was only years later, around the age of 15, that Haaland hit a growth spurt, soaring to 194 centimetres (6 feet 4 inches).

Throughout his youth, he and his friends supplemented their weekly or twice-weekly club practices with countless improvised sessions at the local covered 'Jaerhallen' stadium -- a rudimentary facility, but open to all.

"There wasn't much else to do in Bryne but play football, you know," says Haaland's former teammate Norheim.

"On weekends we would go out on the pitch, we didn't have to plan anything, we knew there was always someone to play with," she recalls.

Although the building wasn't heated, the roof provided a welcome respite from the winter snow or frost that ruled out street games.

"Jaerhallen gave birth to a lot of talent in Bryne that would not have been born if the hall had not existed," Andrea's father Stig Norheim, himself a former player, tells AFP.

"You could go and train there at any time. On weekends, young people would go there at nine or 10 in the morning with their packed lunch and stay there until eight in the evening," he says.

Jaerhallen may not be an eye-catching facility, but it boasts a pretty impressive record -- and the hours the kids invested in organising their own training sessions paid off.

Of the 40 youngsters, five of them -- including Haaland and Norheim -- ended up playing for Norway's national squads.

On this sunny day, high school students are kicking the ball around on the open-air field next door. Their local pride is evident, albeit subtle.

Asked who the best footballer in the world is, they answer "Messi" and "Ronaldo". But who's most promising? "Erling!"

"I'm very inspired by him," 18-year-old aspiring footballer Malin Amilie Liland says.

"The fact that he comes from such a small place and plays for such a big club shows that everything is possible."

A few kilometres away, an industrial zone bears the name "Haaland". 39 boys and one girl Haaland was born on July 21, 2000 in the English city of Leeds, where his father Alf-Inge played until just before the arrival of his son and a transfer to Manchester City. Haaland senior was an international midfielder who made 34 appearances for Norway and played in the Premier League for the majority of his career until his retirement through injury in 2003, aged just 30 and still a City player. The following year he moved his family to Bryne, which is where he had broken through as a youth product in the early 1990s. Following in his father's footsteps, the young Haaland favoured football over athletics, the favourite sport of his mother Gry Marita Braut, a former heptathlon champion for Norway. It was here the seeds were sown for Haaland's future career, and where he met Alf Ingve Berntsen, who coached a group of 40 youngsters, 39 boys and one talented girl -- Norway youth international Andrea Norheim. Following the philosophy of not leaving anyone behind and keeping all players engaged, everyone got the same amount of time on the pitch regardless of skills. "Erling was small and rather lightweight, but given his genes we knew he would probably grow up to be a big guy," Berntsen remembers. "Even though he was physically a bit inferior to the others, he scored so many goals that we thought 'Wow, imagine when he's big and strong'." It was only years later, around the age of 15, that Haaland hit a growth spurt, soaring to 194 centimetres (6 feet 4 inches). Throughout his youth, he and his friends supplemented their weekly or twice-weekly club practices with countless improvised sessions at the local covered 'Jaerhallen' stadium -- a rudimentary facility, but open to all. "There wasn't much else to do in Bryne but play football, you know," says Haaland's former teammate Norheim. "On weekends we would go out on the pitch, we didn't have to plan anything, we knew there was always someone to play with," she recalls. Although the building wasn't heated, the roof provided a welcome respite from the winter snow or frost that ruled out street games. "Jaerhallen gave birth to a lot of talent in Bryne that would not have been born if the hall had not existed," Andrea's father Stig Norheim, himself a former player, tells AFP. "You could go and train there at any time. On weekends, young people would go there at nine or 10 in the morning with their packed lunch and stay there until eight in the evening," he says. Jaerhallen may not be an eye-catching facility, but it boasts a pretty impressive record -- and the hours the kids invested in organising their own training sessions paid off. Of the 40 youngsters, five of them -- including Haaland and Norheim -- ended up playing for Norway's national squads. On this sunny day, high school students are kicking the ball around on the open-air field next door. Their local pride is evident, albeit subtle. Asked who the best footballer in the world is, they answer "Messi" and "Ronaldo". But who's most promising? "Erling!" "I'm very inspired by him," 18-year-old aspiring footballer Malin Amilie Liland says. "The fact that he comes from such a small place and plays for such a big club shows that everything is possible."
