MAlaga could be considered lucky to possess survived today at the Rosaleda if they didnat know very well what they had in Willy Caballero. Along with AtlAtico Madridas Thibaut Courtois, the Argentine veteran has been the best goalkeepers in Spain this year, then when he saved two one-on-ones in the first half against Borussia Dortmundas Mario GAtze, MAlaga could have been more relieved than grateful. Good people make good plays. That fortunate experience can affect the entirety of todayas 0-0 in Spain, with Borussia Dortmund concluding their road knee with a draw. Gain at home next Tuesday (as theyare always favored to complete) and BVB returns to their first semifinal in 15 years, although if a goal is given up by them, Dortmund will be afflicted by the rocky nature of the away goals rule. A report draw in a few days in Germany, and Borussia Dortmund crashes out. (MORE: Real Madrid untroubled in leg one versus. Gala) Thatas why Manuel Pellegrini wonat be too upset with todayas result. From a certain perspective the pull could possibly be seen as BVB breaking assist, but Pellegrini said before the match he thought this tie will be satisfied in Dortmund. As he was winning the match (perhaps him just being realistic with his goals) he was as concerned with maintaining today to a clean linen. Certainly, he was preparing his team because of this scenario, meaning todayas result is less of a problem than a point on in a trip. If MAlaga can take their regular opportunism to the Westfalenstadion and discover the first purpose, Pellegrinias longview approach may have reduced. But you can find things the Spaniards need certainly to handle within the a few weeks. They dealt defectively with Dortmundas questionable, indicating they want to produce yet another method to move the ball through the middle third if theyare likely to produce a target on Tuesday. At another end, MAlagaas greatest people in protection werenat in a position to reciprocate BVBas intensity, providing the Germans too enough time to work while usually pulling certainly one of MAlagaas sitters too far (and too endlessly) into midfield. Luckily for Pellegrini, these are problems of tactics, not workers. For all your advantages Dortmund had on Wednesday, MAlaga was still in a position to cause a number of threats on Roman Weidenfelleras goal. Itas not difficult to see several adjustments keeping them close enough to just take next weekas knee with a set piece or even a BVB mistake. Theyare certainly in the same group as Dortmund. Nevertheless the little gap between Dortmund and MAlaga was still superior. Even as we knew coming into todayas fit, BVB is the most likely the better part. Theyave got the greater players, their process allows them to become more dangerous, and thanks to a difficult Champions League group, theyave been already examined. Theyall actually be obvious favorites to advance home week. Regrettably for them, their inability to beat Caballero means Pellegrini still includes a chance to steal this link. He may well not have BVB right where he needs them, but he has them right where he can beat them.
