Borussia hitting form as business end of the season approaches
BVB welcomed Hans Tilkowski, Reinhold Wosab, Franz Brungs, Lothar Geisler, Wolfgang Paul, Wilhelm Burgsmüller and Theo Redder – seven of the Black and Yellow legends that had beaten Benfica 54 years earlier – onto the pitch before kick-off. Perhaps it was their presence, perhaps it was the wonderful choreography in the South Stand. Whatever it was, Borussia were in inspired form on Wednesday as they produced another memorable European performance to book their place in the quarter-finals.
