Dortmund "Borussia" was to play an important second consecutive game - and just four days after the first. If in Munich to decide whether or not to be intrigue in the fight for the German championship, then in London would almost certainly decide the fate of "yellow-black" in European competition this season. Before the game, "Arsenal" was in first place with eight points in the asset, and "Borussia", which received four points, took third place in Group E. Table Thus, the only victory gave the Germans a real chance to compete in the final round for an exit in the playoffs. Draw in London, the chances are declining sharply, and the defeat called into question the very possibility of the presence of "Borussia" in the European Cup spring. On the contrary, the position of "Arsenal" was very comfortable. Even in a losing team Arsene Wenger maintained superiority over at least two competitors. But there had already begun a variety of advanced options, taking into account the outcome of a parallel match, so for them until we write.
