Kick-off on October 1, 2025, at 22:00.

In the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Borussia Dortmund will face Athletic at Signal Iduna Park. The opponents have only met in friendlies before. In 2016 and 2021, the Basques celebrated victories in those exhibition matches, 1–0 and 2–0. The Black and Yellows missed out on a win in their opening match in Turin against Juventus, conceding a late goal in the 90+6 minute to draw 4–4. The Bees took the lead three times and held a two-goal advantage early in added time. Karim Adeyemi opened the scoring in the second half. The Red and Whites hosted Arsenal at San Mamés. The Lions kept a clean sheet for most of the game, but the Gunners ultimately proved stronger, winning 0–2. Watch Borussia Dortmund — Athletic on October 1, 2025, online on MEGOGO.

The hosts have lost only once in their last seventeen home Champions League matches—2–3 against Barcelona. Over the past two tournament seasons, the German powerhouse failed to score at home only twice, against Milan and Lisbon’s Sporting, both matches ending 0–0. In the main European competition, the Black and Yellows have played sixteen home games at Signal Iduna Park against Spanish clubs. The Bees have suffered just three home defeats to La Liga sides, including a 1–2 loss to Atlético Madrid back in 1996. In their most recent home match at Signal Iduna Park, Borussia Dortmund earned a convincing 4–1 victory over Athletic, with goals from Svensson, Chukwuemeka, Guirassy, and Brandt.

Athletic made its debut in the European Cup/Champions League in the 1956/57 campaign, but has played only fourteen away matches since then. On the road, the Basques have earned two victories — against Porto in that inaugural season (2–1) and against Shakhtar Donetsk at Arena Lviv in the 2014/15 tournament (1–0). Since 1987, the Red and Whites have lost only once away to a German team in European competition — a 1–3 defeat to Werder Bremen in the 2009/10 Europa League group stage.
