Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund will meet La Liga outfit Villarreal in a pre-season friendly at CASHPOINT Arena on Tuesday.
Last term, the Black and Yellow finished fifth in the Bundesliga with 63 points from 34 games in what was an underwhelming league campaign overshadowed by a remarkable run to the Champions League final, which they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid.
Then-manager Edin Terzic received criticism for his highly pragmatic and reactive play style, so it's little wonder that the former Dortmund player opted to quit the club at the end of the 2023-24 season.
Dortmund's new manager, Nuri Sahin, will be eager for his team to adapt to his tactical approach before the upcoming Bundesliga season kicks off, while Villarreal will be striving to reclaim a spot in European competition for the 2024-25 La Liga season.
