When Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund thumped Barcelona and Real Madrid in 2013
This week’s UEFA Champions League has delivered Borussia Dortmund vs. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona on back-to-back nights, and if that sounds familiar, it’s for good reason.
The new league phase has given us some interesting ties so far, but none quite on the level of Bayern against Barca, both six-time European champions who top their respective leagues as two of the form teams on the continent.
Before that, though, we have a tantalising repeat of last season’s final on Tuesday as free-scoring Borussia Dortmund face a Real Madrid side struggling to impress in Europe so far this term.
Both ties bring back clear memories, whether it be BVB’s defeat to Los Blancos months ago in the 2024 final, or Bayern’s momentous 8-2 win over Barca in 2020. However, it was in 2013 when the Bundesliga truly taught La Liga a lesson.
