Borussia Dortmund vs SS Lazio Tickets

Borussia Dortmund are one of the most popular teams in Europe, with a fanbase to match their astounding stadium. The Signal Iduna Park stadium, also known as the Westfalenstadion, is a must-visit location for all football fans due to its famous electric atmosphere.

Pretty much every game held at the stadium is a sell-out, which is quite a feat given its 81, 365 capacity.

Borussia Dortmund have a rich history in the European Cup and the UEFA Champions League, with their first campaign coming in 1956/57 when they were knocked out by Manchester United in the First Round.

The following season, they made it all the way to the Quarter-Finals, and in 1963/64, they reached the Semi-Finals before losing to eventual winners Inter Milan and then missed out on qualification for the tournament for the next thirty years as other German sides started to wrestle control from Dortmund.

Indeed, in this period, the likes of Bayern Munich, Borussia Monchengladbach, and SV Hamburger dominated the Bundesliga.

1995/96 saw the club return to the UEFA Champions League, and the following season, they collected their first title. In the group stage, they finished second after collecting four wins from six and then easily dealt with French side Auxerre before beating Manchester United 2-0 on aggregate in the Semi-Finals.

The final, in Bern, Switzerland, saw Borussia Dortmund face Juventus, with the Italian side being the overwhelming favourites. However, two goals in five minutes from Karl-Heinz Riedle put the German side in control.

Alessandro Del Piero pulled a goal back in the second half before Lars Ricken, who had just come on as a substitute a minute earlier, killed off the Italian side with a great chip over keeper Angelo Peruzzi.

They returned to the final during Jurgen Klopp’s successful period in charge, facing Bayern Munich in an all-German final at Wembley Stadium. They were unfortunate to lose after Arjen Robben bagged a late winner.

Lazio’s involvement in the competition has been sporadic. They were due to play in the European Cup after winning their first Serie A title in 1973/74, but they were banned from the competition after crowd trouble in their previous UEFA campaign.

They made their debut in the UEFA Champions League era in 1999/2000, getting to the Quarter-Finals before losing to Valencia.

The only other occasion they’ve reached the knockout phase of the tournament came in 2020/21 when Bayern Munich thumped them 6-2 on aggregate.

These two sides have met on one other occasion in competitive European action, and that came in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in 2020/21.

At the Stadio Olimpico, prolific forward Ciro Immobile was among the scorers in a 3-1 home win, and the return in Germany ended 1-1, with Immobile once again netting, this time from the spot.

Borussia Dortmund vs SS Lazio Connections

A few players have played for both Borussia Dortmund and Lazio, including forward Karl-Heinz Riedle and Uruguayan Ruben Sosa.

The most notable player to do so is most definitely Italian international Ciro Immobile, who moved to Dortmund in 2014 after a strong season at Torino. He didn’t fare that well in Germany, though, scoring ten goals in 34 appearances.

He moved to Lazio in 2016 and well and truly found his goalscoring boots. Over the course of the next eight seasons, Immobile scored 196 goals in 297 games for the Rome-based club.
