Borussia Dortmund flew with a squad of 23 players to Turin. Only Kevin Grosskreutz (injured) and Milos Jojic (not eligible to play) were left behind. As with all Champions League games, third choice goalkeeper Zlatan Alomerovic made the trip, too.

As the team left Torino-Caselle Airport on Monday afternoon, hundreds of supporters were waiting for the Black and Yellows, likewise in front of the team hotel in the heart of the city. Ciro Immobile was greeted with applause by his fellow countrymen.

Kevin Kampl was in no state to appreciate the welcome. The Slovenian was taken ill during the flight and could not take part in the final training session.
