BVB stadium sold out for the first time in 763 days
Borussia Dortmund reports a sold-out stadium again after 763 days. The match against RB Leipzig on Saturday will take place in front of 81,365 spectators. The last tickets were sold on Monday.
BVB had been missing Erling Haaland for weeks, and now the superstar is threatening to fail again in the top game against RB Leipzig. In any case, coach Marco Rose does not have high hopes.
Nfter the international break, the Bundesliga will start its 28th matchday at the weekend. It will open today with the game between 1. FC Union and 1. FC Köln (8.30 p.m.). Both teams still have hopes of participating in the European Cup.
FC Bayern will then play at SC Freiburg on Saturday afternoon before the top game of this round takes place in the evening. At 6.30 p.m. Borussia Dortmund meets RB Leipzig. And it looks like BVB will have to do without Erling Haaland again.

“Erling is very questionable. The foot is swollen and blue. A big question mark. It’s a great pity for us that he might be out,” said coach Marco Rose on Thursday about the ankle injury that the Norwegian international sustained in the international match against Armenia two days earlier. Haaland only celebrated his comeback in the game against Bielefeld (1-0) in mid-March after a compulsory break of weeks.
Stadium sold out for the first time in over two years
Despite the setback at the 21-year-old attacker, BVB’s personnel concerns have eased during the international break. Captain Marco Reus and attacker Youssoufa Moukoko are available again.
Everyone involved is particularly excited about the atmosphere in the largest Bundesliga stadium, which was sold out for the first time in over two years with 81,365 spectators. “We are really looking forward to football being the football we know again. It’s a special moment after such a long pandemic,” said Rose. “Our captain Marco Reus has been walking through the dressing room with an enchanted smile for days.” The support will have a positive effect on the performance: “That means that we are already one more. That can give us a real boost for the last few games.”
