Borussia Dortmund – Juventus (UEFA Champions League)
You could feel the atmosphere and the excitement amongst the fans from the morning. The fans from Italy had occupied all the venues in the center of the city and their songs could be heard all over the Alte Markt square.

Borussia Dortmund have the highest attendance in world football with an average of 80,000 people. I have travelled across Europe watching football and Borussia Dortmund has been on my bucket list for some time due to its amazing atmosphere, especially in the Champions League.
The atmosphere was absolutely insane in full swing for the whole 90 minutes. More than 80,000 crowd make a noise like no other with drums and chants, although Borussia Dortmund lost, it was really powerful. Just viewing this impressive Südtribüne Terrace where 25,000 people, known as the Yellow Wall, sing or shout together, and all bouncing as one.
Finally, the hosts from Borussia lost by 0:3 and their fans left frowning from the wonderful stadium. On the opposite pole were the guests from Italy, who classified for the next phase of the Champions League.
