Benfica vs Borussia Dortmund History

Benfica have a rich history in UEFA’s flagship tournament, winning back-to-back European Cup titles in 1960/61 and 1961/62 against FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively. They then contrived to lose three finals in 1962/63, 1964/65 and 1967/68. Their run of losing finals continued after a couple of decades with a surprise loss to Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in 1987/88, albeit after penalties, and in 1989/90 to a very strong AC Milan side.

Borussia Dortmund first qualified for the European Cup back in 1956/67 and reached the Semi-finals in 1963/64. They reached the UEFA Champions League Final in 1996/97, and though they beat Liverpool and Manchester United en route, they were still the underdogs against reigning champions Juventus.

Nonetheless, two goals from Karl-Heinz Riedle and a third from Lars Ricken gave the German side a famous victory. Jurgen Klopp’s side reached the final again in 2012/13 but were beaten by Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich at Wembley Stadium, and at the same venue in 2023/24, Die Borussen were easily overcome by Real Madrid.

Benfica vs Borussia Dortmund Head-to-Head

The two sides met for the first time in competitive European action in the First Round of the 1963/64 edition, with Borussia Dortmund clinching a memorable 6-2 aggregate success over Benfica on that occasion. More recently they did battle in the Round of 16 in 2016/17. The Portuguese outfit completed a 1-0 home win in Lisbon before a hat-trick from Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang helped clinch a 4-0 win for Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park.
