The team prepared well and they bought good players. When you look at Bayern you notice they're not doing that well and that they lost the last few games. Let's see what happens tomorrow. But I hope we'll win." (SOUNDBITE) (German) OLI DACAPO, SAYING: "We have to wait and see. The team needs to adapt to Bosz's new system. It's good that Omer stayed and that Dembele stayed. I don't think anyone would have expected that. Let's see what happens tomorrow. Bayern isn't in top shape either. I believe a close victory is possible." (SOUNDBITE) (German) DORTMUND FAN, FREDI NIGEMANN, SAYING (ASKED WHETHER THEY FEAR DEMBELE COULD ALSO LEAVE AFTER NEYMAR'S RECORD-BREAKING 222 MILLION EURO TRANSFER): "I am not worried. He said he will start thinking about it beyond 100 million. The guy is still young and if he leaves in three years that's okay for me. If he has such potential he really does not have to stay with us. But he won't leave yet, I am not worried." (SOUNDBITE) (German) DORTMUND FAN, KEVIN SCHROEDER, SAYING: "Dembele is someone who I would say has the potential for world class. He is simply a fantastic player but I am not worried that he will leave for Barcelona this year. I certainly don't hope so because he is important for us this season. But I really don't think so, no." PLAYERS ON PITCH WIDE OF STADIUM
