How many Champions League semi-finals have Borussia Dortmund played and on how many occasions have they reached the final?

In one of the worst seasons in Bundesliga recent years, Borussia Dortmund managed to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League., something that has not been achieved since the 2012/13 season. They are fifth in the league championship and the opportunity to play in the next edition of Europe’s top competition through the league is gradually disappearing.

His journey in this Champions League has been different. Although this was one of the most difficult stages, especially because of the group they were placed in, they overcame every obstacle that came their way. Newcastle, Milan and PSG were their rivals and, despite everything, they were leading the group.

. They beat PSV in the 1/8 finals and beat Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals. They will now try to eliminate PSG to book a place in the grand final in London.

Dortmund fans will enjoy the semi-final because it’s not a very common occurrence for a German club. Since his birth in 1909 He managed to be present in this round only five times.: 1963/64, 1996/97, 1997/98, 2012/2013 and 2023/2024.

Of these semi-final appearances in the 1963/1964 and 1997/98 seasons, they failed to reach the final and were eliminated Inter and Real Madrid.. In the 1996/97 season they won their first and only Champions League, beating Zidane, Deschamps and Del Piero’s Juventus 3–1 in the final. But probably what I remember most, because it was the last and the most painful, was the loss of the final. Bayern Munich in the 2012/2013 season

. Their balance at the time of reaching the semi-finals was two finals and two semi-final defeats, but this year the tie will be broken.

Borussia Dortmund’s hope this season is twofold: not only can they make it to the third final in their history, but they can also do so against their arch-rivals Bayern Munich. If Dortmund beat PSG and the Bavarian side knock out Real Madrid, they will meet at Wembley on June 1.
