Dortmund vs Chelsea: Head-to-head record
This is our first competitive match against Borussia Dortmund and the ninth team from Germany we have played in various European competitions.
Chelsea did play against Borussia Dortmund as part of an eight-match summer tour of USA and Canada in May 1954 (pictured top), which also included three games against Rangers and another against German side Fortuna Dusseldorf. Dortmund won the game against the Blues 6-1 at Randall’s Island, New York in front of a 7,500 crowd.

Chelsea form
Since the start of 2020/21, Chelsea have won 10 of our 14 away Champions League matches. Our only defeats on the road in that time were in Turin against Juventus in 2021 and Dinamo Zagreb last September.
Graham Potter’s side have won their last four matches in the Champions League. The last time we won five games in a row in the competition was between September and November 2010 when Carlo Ancelotti was in charge.
Chelsea’s Champions League record in the round of 16 is 10 wins and six defeats. Last season at this stage we beat Lille 4-1 on aggregate.
Graham Potter is looking to become the first Chelsea manager to go unbeaten in his first six Champions League matches since Roberto Di Matteo in April 2012 (eight).
If the Blues win, Potter will become the first English manager to win five consecutive matches in the competition and the second to win away from home against German opposition in the Champions League after Sir Bobby Robson, who managed it twice.
