Whatever happens, it promises to be a very special trip: Borussia Dortmund will play the 250th European match in the history of the club. Just a draw in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League match away to Atletico Madrid will be enough to secure passage to the last 16 of the competition.

Lukasz Piszczek and Mario Götze are both fit once more and on board the plane bound for Madrid-Barajas airport.

Expect a comprehensive report this evening after the team's final training session.  (br)
