In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Zenit Saint-Petersburg, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang earns a starting position for Borussia Dortmund, marking a departure from the first leg. Dortmund, facing a deficit after a 2-4 defeat in Russia, looks to Aubameyang and Robert Lewandowski to lead the attack.
Aubameyang, given the chance to overcome recent goal-scoring droughts, joins forces with Lewandowski in Dortmund’s lineup. Zenit, under the guidance of coach Villas-Boas (absent for this match), fields a formidable team featuring players like Hulk, Witsel, and Danny.
The lineups for both teams are as follows:
Borussia Dortmund: Weidenfeller, Piszczek, Sokratis, Hummels, Schmelzer, Sahin, Kehl, Grosskreutz, Mkitharian, Aubameyang, Lewandowski
Zenit Saint-Petersburg: Malafeev, Anyukov, Hubocan, Lombaerts, Criscito, Witsel, Fayzulin, Danny, Shatov, Hulk, Kerzhakov
This match presents Dortmund with an opportunity to overturn the deficit and advance in the Champions League, while Zenit aims to defend its lead and secure a spot in the next round.
