Borussia Dortmund change their face in Champions League: Buffon
Geneva: Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon said Dortmund will change their face when they play in the EUFA Champions League football tournament after the two teams were drawn to take on each other in the round of 16 in the elite continental competition.
“I’m happy because in the last few days I was saying that I wanted Dortmund. Not because I think they are weaker than other opponents
but because I think they are the right kind of test for us to understand how far we have come and where we can improve,” Buffon, also captain of the Italian Serie A team, as per the sources.
The Italian team will take on the Bundesliga strugglers for the first time since the 1996/97 final.
“Dortmund change their face when they play in the Champions League, they perform at a higher level than they do in the Bundesliga – probably because their players are more motivated. Ciro Immobile gave us problems when he was at Torino and I’m sure he’ll do the same with Dortmund,” he added.
Dortmund beat Juventus 3-1 in the 1997 Champions League final in Munich, Karl-Heinz Riedle scoring twice in the first half and substitute adding a clinching third, seconds after his introduction as Alessandro Del Piero halved the Juve deficit.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
