“I don’t think he’s lacking freshness. After the national team matches, I gave him time to rest, but he’s been training perfectly,” he told reporters.“He has shown that he is ready for the game against Dortmund.
”Flick is also eager for his team to get a strong result in the first leg to take to Germany.“In the Champions League, playing at home is better because we perform better,” he added.“We’d like to be able to wrap it up now.
We saw that against Atlético. It’s a good moment for us. “We’ve improved a lot in many situations and found the right responses.
We’re very prepared for tomorrow’s game.”Raphinha is expected to start on Wednesday night, alongside Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski, with Fermin Lopez also being tipped for a place in the starting XI..
