Borussia Dortmund: Where did the Constance have gone in the BVB game?

In an exciting encounter in the Westfalenstadion, Borussia Dortmund had to surrender 2: 3 against FC Barcelona on December 11, 2024. The game was characterized by a constant change of guided tours. Raphinha put the guests in the lead in the 52nd minute before Serhou Guirassy equalized in the 60th minute with a penalty. But Barcelona finally prevailed when Ferran Torres scored two crucial goals in the 75th and 85th minute, and thus secured the Catalan valuable three points, which she took second place in the Champions League group. Dortmund can be found in ninth place after this defeat, which increases the concerns about the European Cup qualification, as ZDF reported.

Dortmund's challenges in the Bundesliga and Champions League

The situation for Dortmund is not only tense in the Champions League. In the Bundesliga, too, the team shows a worrying inconsistency: good and weak performance alternate, which is reflected in eighth place. Experts find it remarkable that Dortmund is the best home team of the season, but has shown the weakest away balance sheet for decades. This dissonance leads to questions about the lack of consistency, which are also discussed in the executive floor of the BVB.

The next games will be crucial to see whether Borussia Dortmund creates the urgently needed upswing - both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League.

ZDF reported that the stability of the BVB is repeatedly in focus, while The New York Times summarized the dramatic turns against Barcelona.
