Dortmund suffered their fourth Champions League loss this season at Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium, with their latest defeat by scoring just 0-2 on Wednesday evening. Here is how Dortmund compares against their opponents.

Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund have lost five major European finals in a row to Madrid while they have won 15 times overall. Both clubs have met six times so far with Madrid holding an advantage after three two-legged matches (2-1 to Dortmund in all cases) during three different Champions League semifinals (1998 & 2013 respectively), when Madrid were victorious on both legs before Dortmund secured victory over both matches with 4-1 wins at first leg and losing both legs by two goals respectively at Bernabeu Stadium.
At this stage of the match, both sides are creating chances. Karim Adeyemi ran onto an excellent through ball from Mats Hummels but was forced wide by defenders before his attempt went into the side-netting. Julian Brandt then attempted a shot but it was blocked while Rodrygo had one from the right and hit off the post!
Madrid are also making their presence felt at the other end, with Dani Carvajal seeing his volley saved by Kobel and Toni Kroos having his header blocked by Dortmund before trying to turn in the rebound. Niclas Fullkrug misses an excellent opportunity at this end with a low shot that just misses its mark nearing the far post.
At half-time, both sides were locked at 0-0 and seemed poised for an exciting second half. Instead, Madrid began taking control as their experience gained them an upper hand against an exhausted Dortmund side.
Defending champions Chelsea have started pressing forward and creating havoc among their hosts, particularly with their possession game. After just nine minutes when Nacho layed off Mbappe for an assist to Rudiger who then headed his pass into the box over the bar! However, Chelsea should have taken an early advantage.
The visitors are making waves and possess more than enough talent to win this final, but their finishing is faltering tonight. Rodrygo misses a golden opportunity with an air shot that drifts wide of the near post while Jude Bellingham heads over from a corner kick.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid have won 35 Spanish top-division titles, 19 Copa del Rey (King’s Cup) trophies, 12 Spanish Super Cups and two Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Cups. Furthermore, Real hold the record for most European Cup/Champions League wins with 14, including five consecutive victories from 1956-60 that is unprecedented in football.
Real Madrid had one of their greatest seasons ever in 2023/24, culminating in an historic Decimoquinta (six league championships in a row) as well as domestic double. They not only won La Liga but also beat Borussia Dortmund to claim victory in Wembley Stadium Champions League final and claimed 13 Copa del Rey titles en route.
Though several players have suffered injuries, the team remains in contention for multiple trophies. They currently sit fourth in La Liga table; three points behind leaders Barcelona and four ahead of Atletico Madrid.
Nuri Sahin has made a strong start as Dortmund manager, winning four out of his initial five Champions League matches as manager. Their record this campaign matches that of Bayern Munich (five of six wins) and Thomas Tuchel (four out of five wins).
Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund has had a sensational Champions League campaign thus far, scoring or assisting six goals across his opening five matches in the competition. Gittens follows Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich and Hansi Flick of Borussia Dortmund who both have six goal involvements through five games played so far this year.
Real Madrid winger Sergio Ramos has been linked with a move away from Bernabeu this summer, though it is likely he will extend his contract beyond its expiry in 2022.
Real Madrid have seen their defence compromised by injuries this season, with Marcelo, Pepe and Raphael Varane sidelined and midfielder Lucas Vazquez recovering from ankle damage. Carlo Ancelotti will hope that these players are ready for when Barcelona come calling.
Head-to-Head
Dortmund and Real Madrid had not met at Wembley since their final clash five months prior, when Dortmund lost to Real 2-0 at Wembley for European Champion glory. Both teams wanted a return encounter as soon as possible in order to continue their flawless starts to the season and secure bragging rights among their fan bases.
An exciting opening half saw both teams level at halftime with Dortmund leading Madrid by 0.68 goals on xG; Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham for Dortmund hit the crossbar twice to seize control.
Dortmund took control of the second half with a surge of chances, led by Vini Jr’s sprint past two markers to fire a low cross into the box that was deflected away for a corner kick. Furthermore, Arda sidestepped a challenge on the edge of the box before feeding Vinicius who fired an effort high over the bar.
Gerede made no mistake with his second goal from Donyell Malen’s cross, while Gittens added the third thanks to Serhou Guirassy’s assist and Gittens’ tap-in from Serhou Guirassy. Madrid star Toni Kroos came close with an audacious far post volley attempt before an outstanding save by Kobel kept it scoreless.
Kroos stepped forward with eight minutes remaining and fed Bellingham, who raced into the box before throwing down his head before shooting across goal for Madrid’s fourth goal, ending their longest unbeaten Champions League season (P13 W9 D4) and making them only third side ever to have won six consecutive home matches in history. It was an astounding goal which secured their unbeaten streak as long as ever and made history once more!
Real Madrid were not at their defensive best in their match against Celta Vigo last weekend, yet still possess enough quality to overcome poor play and secure victory here. Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz’s return will ease any injuries they might sustain; Dani Carvajal remains out due to Dortmund. Additionally, Real Madrid have several players including Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale who could make appearances.
Match Statistics
Vini Jr and Dani Carvajal scored for the away side as they secured their second victory this season in Europe’s elite competition.
At first, this game started quickly as Dortmund’s quick tempo surprised their visitors and led to some dangerous crosses from home side – but their early efforts fell short. Things changed after half time mark as Malen smashed home a Serhou Guirassy center to score directly. Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham hit both crossbars twice within moments but weren’t caught by visitors’ defence.
Madrid showed its true colours today against Wembley after losing last year’s final, under Carlo Ancelotti who has built up quite the reputation in winning big matches like these under pressure conditions – as evidenced by today’s performance from their side.
Dortmund had tried their hardest during the first period to equalise but were unable to find their way into the box. Following halftime, though, Dortmund were more determined than ever and applied pressure in the opposition half, eventually leading to Dani Carvajal volleying past Kobel after a VAR check from close range.
As they attempted to level the scores, the visitors’ desperation caused them to make errors in defence that resulted in Vini Jr scoring another exquisite goal that must have sent chills down everyone’s spines on either team. He seemed intent on setting himself free while dancing through challenges from an opponent defender in order to score his remarkable strike against their own defenders and create his spectacular goal!
