Thank you for your interest in the BvB London fan community podcast as every week the focus of the show will be on exploring a facet of Borussia Dortmund's life by talking to experts and former participants of the club's life.
People like players, fans and journalists who have covered the club and decision-makers and experts who know the world of all our club well.
The aim of the podcast is to make this wonderful football club more accessible to non-German speakers. The podcast may also be of interest to German football fans who want to learn or practice English.
Our guests are Dave Mooney who is a journalist and football blogger and host of the 'Blue Moon' Manchester City podcast, the most-established show on the club in U.K and Steffen Karl a former Germany U21 international defensive midfielder who played 348 matches scoring 19 goals clubs like Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund as well as other clubs like Hertha BSC Berlin, St Pauli and FC Sion.
On tonight's show we set the scene for the Champions League quarterfinal pairing which kicks off tonight at the Etihad stadium with City as favourites.
1. What should BVB's strategy be? How will City approach the game? There have been 5 ties between the clubs can City beat Dortmund for the first time in their history? What will be City's approach in the face of Haaland?
2. Interview with Steffen Karl; how does he see the tie? What are the strengths and weaknesses on each side and what advantages does each team have? What will be the outcome?
3. Steffen on his own career with Manchester City and how the club contrasts with Borussia Dortmund and the English v German ways of playing.
4. Dave Mooney on what the view is of Borussia Dortmund amongst City fans, historically how does the impression of BVB differ to that of Bayern Munich? Why not being Bayern Munich is key to Dortmund's popularity.
5. The Gundogan factor, how does the popular former 'Borusse' strike the City fans? What impact has he made at City? What future Ilkay?
6. Focus on Erling Haaland is the Norwegian City's target for the summer? Will they be able to meet Dortmund's £100m+ valuation?
7. We discuss the team tactics and line-ups and give predictions plus announce a special guest for the return leg.
