Dortmund’s record: one win, three blanks vs CL rivals | OneFootball

Since the draw of the league phase of the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund's opponents have been determined, and the specific schedule has also been set since the weekend. A look at the previous records against the drawn opponents does not bode well, with one exception, and there are also several premieres in the upcoming duels.

For its first game in the Champions League 2025/26, BVB will face Juventus, against which it celebrated its greatest success in club history with a 3:1 victory in the CL final in Munich in 1997. However, they usually had little to offer against the Turin team, as was the case in the final of the UEFA Cup 1992/1993, where they lost 0:3 and 1:3. In total, in nine competitive matches against Juventus Turin, BVB has only two victories, with one draw and a whopping six defeats.

A similar trend is shown in matches against Manchester City, against which they won only one of six encounters. Twice it ended in a draw, and three times they lost to the English team. At least: in the last game against each other in October 2022, it ended in a goalless draw at their own stadium.

The record of Borussia Dortmund against Tottenham Hotspur also follows these patterns. In six games, BVB left the field as winners twice, while they were defeated four times. Most recently, there was a 0:3 away in the round of 16 of the Champions League 2019, followed by another defeat, this time with 0:1 in the return match in Dortmund.

Historic duels between BVB and Juventus

And also against the second Italian club in the program, they do not have a positive record. Against Inter Milan, there have been two victories, one draw, and three defeats so far. The first two of these duels took place as early as 1964, then in the semi-finals of the European Champion Clubs' Cup. The last match against each other was won by BVB in the Champions League at home in 2019 with 3:2 – after a 0:2 deficit.

The only club of those five, against which Borussia Dortmund has already played competitive matches and has a positive record, is the current club of ex-Borusse Youssoufa Moukoko. Against FC Copenhagen, there have been three victories and one draw in four matches, with only one goal conceded in these 360 minutes of football against each other. Moukoko will of course want to change this against his former club, and BVB will want to prevent exactly this.

There have been no competitive matches against the remaining three opponents, so there will be three premieres, namely against:
