With 2 - 0 goals against Mainz 05, Borussia Dortmund did successfully stand the test before the upcoming Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. After a more than early lead through Marco Reus, our team continued to play with the handbrake slightly applied and, as a consequence, missed to prematurely extend the lead to have a comfortable afternoon. Coach Jürgen Klopp took the game as a final test before the match on Wednesday, sending the formation on the pitch that will most probably be the starting one against Madrid. After an abundant but not 100 % convincing performance against harmless and personnel weakened Mainzer, one question remains: will this be sufficient against the royals?
