Dortmund needs to manage emotions

BERLIN — Enduring another disappointing domestic season, Borussia Dortmund will take inspiration from last year's incredible European run ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal first leg at Barcelona.

Last season, Dortmund stumbled to fifth in the Bundesliga, its lowest placing in a decade, while, conversely, enjoying a shock run to the Champions League final at Wembley, where it put up a strong showing in a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid.

Its European campaign included wins over Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Newcastle United and PSV Eindhoven.
