BVB crowns strong appearance: Champions League miracle against Sporting?

On February 19, 2025, a decisive duel in the Champions League occurs in Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund meets Sporting Lisbon in the playoff second leg. The game is kick -off at 6:45 p.m. The Dortmunders won the first leg 3-0, which gives them a promising starting point for the second leg. The stadium line -up and the facts about the game are promising, especially because Dortmund is clearly superior in the historical record against Sporting.

historical rivalry and statistics

In the previous direct record between Dortmund and Sporting, there were a total of six encounters in the Champions League, of which Borussia Dortmund won five. Sporting, on the other hand, has never won in Dortmund. This statistics could offer additional incentive for Dortmund to call up a strong performance, especially if you look at the printing situation after the last defeat in the Bundesliga.

The upcoming game could be decisive for Borussia Dortmund in order to find it back into the road to success. The high number of Champions League games that are transmitted via streaming platforms refers to a changing media landscape, with DAZN playing a central role. Sky traditionally kept the rights, but has now lost the transfer rights for the Champions League.
