In a highly anticipated clash, Borussia Dortmund hosts FC Barcelona in the sixth matchday of the Champions League.
The footballing giants from Barcelona are set to visit one of Europe’s most beautiful stadiums, Signal Iduna Park, during this pivotal round of the league phase in the new Champions League format. In what is crucial for the Catalans as they aim to move closer to a Top 8 finish, they will first have to conquer the formidable ‘Yellow Wall’.
The stadium is expected to be filled to capacity well before kickoff, having opened its doors two and a half hours prior to the match. The stands at Borussia Dortmund’s ground offer a spectacular sight, but the crown jewel is undoubtedly the famed ‘Yellow Wall’.
Fans can face a wait of up to six or seven years to secure a seat in this special area, where supporters stand and cheer for their team, as reported in the preview by Movistar Plus.

Football in the German city of Dortmund is a whole different experience, underscored by the attendance of over 81,000 spectators who can pack the stadium. Of these, around 25,000 fans occupy the wall, known in German as the ‘Gelbe Wand’.
Despite its intimidating reputation, Bayern Munich’s squad won’t be alone on the pitch, as Barcelona supporters have also made their presence felt. Up to 3,000 members have chosen to accompany the team for this important Champions League away fixture.
