Borussia Dortmund vs Benfica History

Die Borussen first took part in the European Cup in 1956/57 and after reaching the semi-finals of the competition in 1963/64, the Bundesliga side then failed to qualify for the tournament for over thirty years. However, in 1996/97 they fought their way to the final, beating Manchester United in the semi-finals, before overcoming the odds to defeat Juventus 3-1 in the final. In 2012/13, Jurgen Klopp took Borussia Dortmund back to the final, where they lost out to a late Arjen Robben goal, which gave German rivals Bayern Munich the title at Wembley Stadium. The club returned to the same venue for the 2024 final, this time losing out to Real Madrid 2-0.

Benfica won back-to-back European Cup crowns in 1961 and 1962 against FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively. They also managed to lose three other finals in the 60s, with attacking legend Eusebio being a key performer during this period. In 1988, Portuguese boss Toni took the Primeira Liga side to the final again, this time losing out to PSV Eindhoven on penalties. Two years later, Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side reached the final again, with a goal from Dutch midfielder Frank Rijkaard seeing AC Milan secure a narrow win in Vienna.
