New Delhi: The amount of interest in Borussia Dortmund’s impending Champions League quarterfinal battle against Barcelona has sparked considerably, beyond the club’s initial expectations. As reported by SPORT, the German team’s official website reports that they have received an incredible 300,000 ticket requests for the eagerly awaited match on April 15. Signal Iduna Park, a stadium known for its thrilling atmosphere and enormous capacity of 81,365 spectators, will host this thrilling clash between two European heavyweights.
Nevertheless, even this remarkable capacity is far from meeting the exceptional demand. Due to a number of circumstances that will limit the number of seats available, Borussia Dortmund will have to hold a draw in order to handle the enormous volume of requests.

Barcelona’s situation
In addition to serving their followers, the team has to complete its obligations to UEFA, provide a specific quantity of tickets for Barcelona fans, and make sure all the security measures are in place. A sold-out crowd is therefore unavoidable, which is hardly surprising considering Signal Iduna Park’s track record of drawing fervent followers.
The stadium, often called Westfalenstadion, is well-known for its amazing atmosphere, particularly when their side is cheered on by the famed Yellow Wall. Barcelona had already witnessed the ferocity of Dortmund’s home field when they defeated them 2-3 in the Champions League group stage the previous year. Despite their thrilling victory that time, Hansi Flick’s team will have to contend with a considerably more difficult atmosphere this time around, as Dortmund supporters are keen to support their club.
Dortmund slowly getting there
Despite having a difficult season, Borussia Dortmund seems to be stabilising under Niko Kovac’s direction. The Croatian manager, who was Hansi Flick’s teammate at Bayern Munich, appears to be leading the team in the right direction. His knowledge of Flick’s strategies gives this quarterfinal matchup an interesting aspect. The significance of the event is highlighted by the tremendous attention in the match. Borussia Dortmund, who have failed to make it to the Champions League semi-finals in recent years, will be aiming to do so. Barcelona, meanwhile, will be looking to establish themselves in Europe once more after missing out on the final four since 2019.
