Dortmund were founded in 1909.The Borussia at the start of their name comes from the near by brewery called the Borussia. 4 years after they were founded they started to wear the Black and Yellow that is known all around the world so well. The war disrupted this their football, however it was in this time where their lethal rivalry with Schalke was started. Their first first division title came in 1956. They then had an up and down 35 years, however they became a driving force in Europe during the 9O's. In 92 they hired Otmar Hitzfeld. He led them to 2 Bundesliga titles and a Champions league success. Despite all of this it all went wrong for them in the 21st century because of lengthy financial problems. After many painful years 2008 was to be a turning point with the appointment of Jurgen Klopp. He then led them to back to back Bundesliga titles and they are now the European force that the were in the late 90's.

Nice start, will be interesting to see how well you do.

This should be an interesting read. I have always been interested in doing a Borussia Dortmund story as they end up with some amazing regens. Good luck for your story with them.

Good luck mate should be interesting. Also, I agree with James. Dortmund have some beauties on my Milan save.

You've got a very good squad. Don't sell Gotze! You can sell Lewandowski though :p

Barca were rumoured to offer 29 million for Lewandowski but the bid never came. I would have accepted straight away

Schieber seems quite good, I expected Reus and Lewandowski to be better than him ( and Reus appears to be).

Kick off

7 mins : Corner to Chelsea. It is hit towards the near post, headed away by Santana but only as far as Azpilicueta. He plays a nice inside ball to Oscar . Oscar sets himself for a shot. Schmelzer makes a desperate attempt to block the shot, however it goes through his legs and into the bottom corner of the net. 1-0 to Chelsea.
10 mins: Corner take by Hazard. It goes towards the near post, Ba comes running in, gets ahead of Santana. Weidenfeller's in no mans land and the ball bounces over the line. 2-0 to Chelsea. Oh dear.

21 mins: Azpilicueta with the long throw-in. Ba races in and gets their first. He carefully glances the ball towards the far post. His second of the game.3-0 to Chelsea. Dortmund are sinking without a trace.

60 mins: Schmelzer plays the ball to Reus. Reus is tackled hard by Ivanovic, but it falls to Grosskreutz on the edge of the area and he carefully guides into the far post with his weaker right foot.3-1

71 mins: Out of nothing Oscar is through because of a lovely pass from Frank Lampard. Schmelzer does well to catch up with Oscar. Now Torres is making a run. Oscar finds him. Then comes a terrible defensive mistake. Santana and Hummels both run over to him, leaving Ba all by himself. He then smashes it in to the goal for his hat-trick. Chelsea have done by some margin. 4-1. Chelsea seal the win.

Man of the match: Demba Ba

Great start, this should be interesting!
