Dortmund coach Sahin says "there are no favourites" against Barca

Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin said Wednesday's Champions League matchday 6 clash against Barcelona is a game in which there are no favourites, that either team can win the game and that form on the day will be a decisive factor.
"I don't think there is a favourite. It's a game of power to power. I think we have everything to win this game, but so do Barcelona," said the coach. "We want to be in the top eight. We are playing at home and we want to win. If we do, we'll take a giant step forward," he said.
Sahin said he was aware of Barcelona's potential and praised the work of his compatriot Hansi Flick, who he said has managed to impose his stamp on the team in a very short time. "We know they are a team that presses high, that we have to be attentive. But we have to play our game and be brave, go out and play. If you try to play against Barcelona only with long balls, you get them back sooner than you think," he said.
He said the game is something special for him, but not because he was a Real Madrid player in the past, but because all Champions League games are special for him. Sahin heads into the clash with numerous injury problems. Nicklas Sule, Julian Brandt, Waldemar Anton and Filippo Mane are all out, while Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi, who he said he has to "weigh up whether it makes sense to take him off after such a long time (out)", are doubts.
