Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 7

Draws: 0

Both losing Champions League finalists in the 21st century, Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund have met five times in the continent's premier tournament and twice in the Europa League down the years.

The Lilywhites have impressively triumphed in all of those UCL contests to lead the overall head-to-head record, whereas Dortmund got the better of the North London club on both occasions in the 2015-16 Europa League.

The most recent encounter between the two came in January 2026, when Thomas Frank's Spurs side emerged as 2-0 winners at home.

Cristian Romero opened the scoring after Niko Kovac's Dortmund failed to clear a corner, with Dominic Solanke netting a second before half time.

Tottenham's win was aided by the fact Daniel Svensson was sent off between those goals, with the match then becoming an uphill battle.

En route to their runners-up medals in 2019, Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham made light work of Dortmund in the last 16, strolling to a 4-0 aggregate victory over two legs.

Son Heung-min, Jan Vertonghen and Fernando Llorente found the back of the net in a 3-0 first-leg triumph at Wembley, before Spurs made absolutely sure of their spot in the quarter-finals at the Signal Iduna Park by virtue of a Harry Kane goal.

Two years prior, Spurs and Dortmund did battle in the group stage of the 2017-18 Champions League, where Kane and Son struck in a 3-1 Wembley win for Tottenham before another successful away day.

The deadly double act were at it again in November 2017, cancelling out a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opener to propel the Lilywhites to a 2-1 victory on German soil.

Tottenham's UCL wins over Dortmund were belated revenge for BVB's successes in the 2015-16 Europa League, in which the Bundesliga powerhouses secured a 5-1 aggregate victory over the Premier League side.

Aubameyang's opener and a Marco Reus brace launched Dortmund to a 3-0 first-leg win at home, and one week later at White Hart Lane, Pochettino's Spurs were haunted by the future Arsenal striker yet again; his double gave Dortmund a 2-1 victory before their unforgettable quarter-final exit to Liverpool.
