Mats Hummels admits Borussia Dortmund will be wary of Juventus' counter-attacks when the two meet tomorrow.
The Champions League Last 16 tie is finely poised at 2-1 in the Bianconeri’s favour, and Hummels says he and his teammates must be wary of being hit on the break.
“We can’t play this as if it were a League game,” Hummels said in the pre-match Press conference.
“That would be the wrong approach, we can’t focus too much on attack. 1-0 could be enough, we’ll try to avoid counter-attacks.

“That would be the wrong approach, we can’t focus too much on attack. 1-0 could be enough, we’ll try to avoid counter-attacks.
“We’ll try to impose our own game.
“First of all we have to make the most of our chances, we didn't create much [in the first leg], so when we get into the last third we have to shoot at the goal.
“We have a lot of attacking players, so we’ll definitely have more chances.
“Juventus proved in the first leg that they have the ability to get their attacking players into good positions.
“[Carlos] Tevez and [Alvaro] Morata, are a dangerous pair, the latter has improved since he was at Real Madrid.
“They also have quality in midfield, I’ve watched 25 videos of Pogba shooting!
“We know what their strengths are, but we’ll try to limit them as best we can.”
