BVB in Champions League fever: victory against St. Pauli, the next challenge is waiting!

On March 3, 2025, Borussia Dortmund won an important victory in the Bundesliga. The BVB won 2-0 against FC St. Pauli away and won two games in a row for the first time this season. But now the focus is on the upcoming Champions League first leg against the OSC Lille, which takes place on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 9 p.m. in Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. Dortmund is the favorite in this duel, since Lille has been struggling with difficulties recently.

The game, which is part of the round of 16 of the Champions League, is transmitted live and exclusively via the streaming service Amazon Prime Video. The transmission begins at 8 p.m. and is accompanied by the commentators Jonas Friedrich and Benedikt Höwedes. Fans who have no subscription yet can track the game free of charge as part of a 30-day test phase. This is an interesting opportunity for new customers who want to experience current sporting events up close.

transmission details

In Germany there is no live broadcast of the game on free TV. Amazon and DAZN share the transmission rights for the Champions League, whereby DAZN shows a total of 186 games and Amazon broadcasts 17 games on Tuesdays. While the focus is on the game between Borussia Dortmund and Lille OSC, another game on DAZN 1: Bayern Munich against Bayer Leverkusen is also on the same evening.

The Dortmund team is there with great motivation. BVB boss Sebastian Kehl emphasized after the victory against St. Pauli that the encounter against Lille must be taken seriously despite the supposed easier task. He described the French team as strong and warned of the challenge that the guests from Lille represent.

look at the opponents

Although Lille last lost 1: 4 against PSG and has slipped to 5th place in Ligue 1, Dortmund should not take the encounter lightly. In the UEFA Cup, the two teams met in the 2001/2002 season and separated twice in a draw (0: 0, 1: 1). Dortmund prevailed at the time due to the away goal control.

It can be particularly excited about the lineups of both teams. It is expected that the former Dortmund Thomas Meunier, who played for Dortmund from 2020 to 2024 and has been under contract with Lille since July 2024, will play an important role in the defensive of the opponent. In addition, Serhou Guirassy, ​​who was active for Lille in the 2015/2016 season, meets his former colleagues, which brings an additional element of excitement into play.

In conclusion, it can be said that the Champions League first leg between Borussia Dortmund and the OSC Lille is not only an exciting matter for fans, but also for the teams themselves, both of whom want to demonstrate their ambitions in this prestigious competition.
