  May 11, 2025   Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Borussia Dortmund BayArena, Leverkusen, Germany On Sunday, May 11, 2025, Bayer 04 Leverkusen will face Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga. The clash between two offensively oriented teams promises an attractive spectacle at the BayArena. After winning the reverse fixture, Bayer 04 Leverkusen could now do a league double over Borussia Dortmund for the first time since the 2006/07 season. However, their three-game wait at home for a victory against BVB in the Bundesliga is currently their longest against any top-flight side (1 draw, 2 losses). Bayer 04 Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last seven Bundesliga games (4 wins, 3 draws) – only Union Berlin are currently enjoying a longer undefeated spell (8 games). However, B04's 2-2 draw in Freiburg was their third draw in their last four games and their 11th overall in 2024/25, a joint league high together with RB Leipzig. Since 2000, the Werkself have only ever shared the points mo...

  Borussia Dortmund v Barcelona (aggregate score: 0-4) April 15, 2025 History could be written tonight under the floodlights of the legendary Signal Iduna Park. The Yellow and Black wall of Borussia Dortmund fans will witness an attempt at something that has succeeded only once in 160 previous cases - overturning a four-goal deficit from the first leg. Paradoxically, tonight's opponent, Barcelona, is the only team that has achieved such a comeback - in 2017 against PSG, winning 6-1 after losing 0-4. Can Dortmund return the favor to the Catalans? The numbers don't bode well for Borussia. They have historically never managed to defeat Barcelona in European competitions. In six mutual matches, they have only two draws and four losses. If they don't win today, they will equal their longest winless streak against a single opponent in Europe - seven matches against Scottish Rangers between 1966 and 1999. "We believe in the impossible," Borussia captain Marco Reus ra...

  Barcelona v Borussia Dortmund April 9th, 2025 The second Wednesday quarter-final clash of the Champions League will offer a battle between the Catalan giant and last season's German finalist. Borussia Dortmund has never managed to defeat FC Barcelona in history - in five mutual duels, the yellow and blacks have earned only two draws and lost three times, including a 2-3 defeat in the group stage of the current season. Barcelona has a longer unbeaten streak only against Lyon (8 matches), Napoli, and Werder Bremen (both 6 matches). For Dortmund, Barcelona is not the only Spanish club against which they struggle long-term. Only against two opponents have they recorded a longer series without victory than against Barcelona (5 matches) - against Real Madrid (6, in 2024) and against Rangers (7, in 1999). A true nightmare for Borussia stands on the home bench. Coach Hansi Flick, during his tenure at Bayern Munich and now at Barcelona, has won all six mutual matches against BVB, whi...
