It’s been a tough season for Borussia Dortmund fans. Their club has faced internal upheavals and their team has produced numerous below-par performances on the domestic front. Thankfully for the Dortmund diehards, Europe has proved to be a welcome distraction. The Champions League runners-up from last season are now just three matches away from reaching back-to-back European finals.

The Westfalenstadion (or Signal Iduna Park as it's officially called) is always an intimidating location for visiting sides and you can expect the Dortmund venue to be a cauldron of noise when Barcelona come calling for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on April 15. When the sides met on German soil in December, during the league phase of the competition, they produced a 5-goal thriller with Barca coming out on top 3-2. This should be another unforgettable occasion and you could be there by securing a match ticket. Let GOAL give you the lowdown on how you can buy tickets to the sizzling encounter.
Edin Terzic’s departure from Dortmund, following their Champions League Final defeat against Real Madrid at Wembley last May, rocked the club severely. Terzic’s replacement, Nuri Sahin, only lasted 222 days in the job after BVB suffered 11 defeats during the 27 matches he was at the helm and Niko Kovac hasn’t fared much better since he took over the managerial reins in February. Dortmund have already lost more league games during this campaign than they had in any season since 2014/15. Despite all the setbacks, Dortmund have continued to perform admirably on the European stage once again and with nothing else to play for this season, they’ll be fully focused on the Barca tie.
Unlike Dortmund, Barcelona still have fingers in plenty of pies. It’s going to be an important few months for Hansi Flick’s flock who finished well adrift of Real Madrid in the 2023/24 title race and limped out of the Champions League at the last-8 stage last season. In fact, Barcelona haven’t progressed past the last-8 stage in Europe’s premier club competition since the 2018/19 campaign and not reached the UCL final since lifting the trophy aloft a decade ago, when beating Juve in the 2015 final.
Barcelona’s success this season has been built on their talented bunch of goalscoring heroes. Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal have all notched double-figures on the scoring front and mind-blowingly, Lewandowski is nearing the 40 mark. With Raphinha netting once and Ferran Torres grabbing a brace at the Westfalenstadion earlier in the campaign, the Dortmund defenders will know they’ll have to be on red alert for the full 90 minutes (and beyond if necessary).
If you’ve not been to the iconic Westfalenstadion or are just desperate to go back, this could be the perfect opportunity to make those dreams become reality. Let GOAL show you all the information you need on how you can buy tickets to Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona, including how much they will cost and where you can pick them up.

How did Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals?
AFPDortmund, the Champions League runners-up from last season, picked up where they left off with two comprehensive victories during the opening two league phase matches, a 3-0 win away at Club Brugge followed by a 7-1 romp at home against Celtic. However, as their domestic struggles continued, they also failed to maintain their consistency in Europe and they would win three and lose three of their final six league phase games, which saw them finish 10th in the standings.
It looked like a tough last-32 assignment against Sporting Lisbon on paper, but Dortmund kept clean sheets in both legs and ran out cosy 3-0 aggregate winners. Lille proved to be a tougher nut to crack in the last-16 though. It was perfectly poised at 1-1 following the 1st leg in Germany, but the balance of power shifted in Lille’s favour after they opened the scoring after 5 minutes of the 2nd leg. Dortmund dug deep and rallied in the second half, scoring twice to book their spot in the quarter-finals.
Barca fans were a little concerned following their side’s 2-1 loss to Monaco during the opening round of the Champions League group phase. However, they needn’t have worried, as Barcelona rattled off six straight wins following that early setback. A 2-2 draw vs Atalanta in their final league match saw them finish 2nd in the table, which saw them automatically progress to the last-16 stage of the knockouts, where they were matched with Benfica. Despite having Cubarsi red-carded after 22 minutes during the first leg in Lisbon, a second-half strike from Raphinha helped settle the nerves. Back on home turf, Raphinha was on the scoresheet again (twice), along with Lamine Yamal as Barca eased through to the quarter-finals, 4-1 on aggregate.
