With Riedle or Klopp? BVB legends match at this Premier League club | OneFootball

The current BVB professionals are currently recovering from the setback of HSV's late equalizer to make it 1:1. However, some of Borussia Dortmund's former professionals can look forward to a recently arranged appointment that will lead them to a legends match on the island. Here are the details.

There have been many sporting duels against Premier League clubs in recent years due to BVB's regular participation in the Champions League. It all started with Manchester United, against whom Dortmund could not prevail in the first round of the European Cup of Champions in 1956 after the first and second legs. However, the most historic encounter with an English club occurred ten years later when BVB surprisingly won the European Cup Winners' Cup final in Glasgow.

The opponent at that time was FC Liverpool, who were actually considered favorites. However, goals from Siggi Held and Stan Libuda secured BVB the victory after extra time, marking the first European title for a German club. There are no known subsequent intensive contacts between the two clubs, although they have always treated each other with respect given this shared history.

Jürgen Klopp at the Legends Match FC Liverpool – BVB?

The connection between BVB and FC Liverpool received more substance when Jürgen Klopp moved to FC Liverpool after his era in Dortmund, leading them from a slumber back to Champions League and Premier League titles. Coincidentally, the two clubs also met in the European Cup at that time, in this case, the 2016 Europa League. After a 1:1 draw at Signal Iduna Park, BVB lost the return leg at Anfield Road 3:4 – and that after leading 3:1.

Now, two teams from both clubs are set to face each other again. On March 28, 2026, however, it will be some former stars of the two clubs who will play in Liverpool for a good cause. The match is titled the "LFC Foundation Charity Match" and is likely to be very popular among the potential Dortmund and Liverpool legends. Who will specifically participate is not yet determined.

It is quite possible that former professionals who played for both BVB and FC Liverpool will feel particularly motivated to participate. This applies to Karl-Heinz Riedle, Patrik Berger, and Nuri Sahin. Alexander Isak and Borussia's current captain Emre Can, whose careers are still ongoing, have also been active for both clubs.

The proceeds from this legends match FC Liverpool – Borussia Dortmund will go to the social foundations "leuchte auf" at BVB and the "LFC Foundation" as well as the organization "Forever Reds". The presale for the legends match has already begun. Tickets are available for £9.50 to £29.50.
