Barcelona Improve Incredible Record Against Bundesliga Sides - Ironically Thanks to German Star

Try as you will, huff and puff if you must, but you're better off placing your eggs in another basket if you reckon you can beat Barcelona in a Champions League group match.

If you're a German side, that is.

The bitter irony of the above statement is that Borussia Dortmund could very well have snatched a win against their La Liga opponents if it weren't for...a German.

A mouth-watering clash pitting two of Europe's heavyweights at one of the continent's finest stadiums, the Westfalenstadion, (of course) finished 0-0. However, the home side carved out a number of decent chances and were handed the perfect opportunity to reward their performance with a goal from the penalty spot ten minutes after half-time.
