The first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 match between Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea is scheduled for Wednesday 15th February at 22:00 at Signal Iduna Park and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange. Sport 1 and Prima Sport 2.
Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea will meet in one of the most exciting matches of the Champions League Round of 16, which will also be the first between the two teams.
Borussia Dortmund won their last league match at Werder Bremen 2-0 and remain on the podium in Bundesliga 1, three points behind leaders Bayern after they also qualified for the German Cup quarterfinals, 2-1 on the field of Bochum.
In the Champions League, Edin Terzic’s side finished 2nd in a group won by Manchester City and also included Sevilla and Copenhagen, with two wins, three draws and one loss.
Borussia Dortmund’s best performance in the UEFA Champions League is winning the competition in the 1996-97 season, 3-1 in the final against Juventus, played in Munich (Schwarzgelben again reached the last act, in the 2012- 2013 when they lost 1-2 to Bayern Munich in London at Wembley).
Chelsea drew in the Premier League, 1-1 at West Ham United (third in a row in the Championship), and have a long way to go to restore the position that will take them to the next round of the UEFA Champions League.
In contrast, the Graeme Potter-coached side lacked emotion in their Champions League group, which also included AC Milan, RB Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb, managing to finish top after four wins, a draw and a loss.
The Londoners opened the group with a 0-1 defeat at Dynamo Zagreb, which, combined with a poor run of results in the Championship, saw Thomas Tuchel sacked and replaced by Graham Potter, brought in from Brighton.
Chelsea have two UEFA Champions League trophies, won in 2011-2012 (1-1 after 90 and 120 minutes respectively, 4-3 on penalties in the final against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena) and 2020-21 ( 1-0 in the last act with Manchester City against Porto).
