Haaland: BVB 'don't stand a chance' against Sevilla without improving

The Norwegian starlet concedes his side needs to raise their game if they are to successfully take down the Spanish giants in Europe.

Erling Haaland has issued a call for improvement to Borussia Dortmund ahead of the upcoming Champions League Round of 16 first-leg showdown against Sevilla.

Dortmund, who were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Hoffenheim in their most recent outing, have managed a single win in their previous six Bundesliga games.

Edin Terzic replaced Lucien Favre in the managerial seat back in December but so far he has been unable to produce a turnaround at Westfalenstadion.

The Black and Yellows are increasingly losing ground in the race to finish in a top-four spot as they sit at sixth with 33 points from 21 league matches.

A daunting task now awaits as they prepare to face six-time European Champions Sevilla away from home on Wednesday.

”Sevilla are a strong team that have won the Europa League several times,” Haaland, who scored an 81st-minute equalizer to avoid a second successive defeat for his side on Saturday, told Sky Germany.

“We just have to get back in shape and do our best on the pitch to have a chance. If we play like we did in the last few games, we don’t stand a chance.”
