New podcast episode: the stadium that decides matches

Episode 3 of our podcast series "Gebaut für Fußball" (built for football) is out now. And it's the most emotional to date, guaranteed to make your hair stand on end: it's all about those unforgettable moments in our stadium, which is now 50 years old. We have all witnessed the energy that the 81,365 fans at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK can generate, particularly this season in the matches against Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Hans-Joachim Watzke, Marco Reus, Roman Weidenfeller and Felipe Santana are some of the voices you'll hear in this episode, which focuses on extraordinary moments of emotion. And not just the good ones; the final matchday of last season is also mentioned. It still hurts. But that's part of the emotional rollercoaster of life as a BVB fan.

But, of course, there's also the "Miracle of Dortmund" from the 2012/13 season, and we called the scorer of the winning goal, Felipe Santana, in Brazil. And he tells us about a not particularly PG-friendly line that opponent Julio Batista gave him shortly before the end, confident of victory. Too confident of victory. Because what followed is to this day unrivalled. Stoppage time: first an equaliser to make it 2-2, then 3-2. "I throw my arms up and look at the referee. But he doesn't do anything. A goal is a goal," says the scorer today with a grin. "Nobody expected us to be able to score another goal. Then we actually managed to do it again. I don't think it would have worked away from home or in other stadiums," said Marco Reus, who scored the goal to make it 2-2.

Things like this only seem to happen in Dortmund. In our stadium that decides matches.

"Ultimately, this is how it goes: I'm prepared as a goalkeeper. But the player is just as prepared. He also knows if I go down early, if I pick a corner, if I have a favourite side. The mind goes into overdrive for both the taker and the keeper at that moment." The scene Roman Weidenfeller is describing here is from the 2011/12 season. Matchday 30. BVB host Bayern Munich. First versus second. Arjen Robben steps up to take a penalty for the visitors in the 86th minute. "I couldn't actually believe it. I saw the ball come my way. Then you have to pinch yourself because you think: no way! He's really picked a different side. But then you still have to actually make the save," recalls Roman Weidenfeller.

Immerse yourself in moments like this, which all form part of Borussia Dortmund's history of playing at home, and listen to what the people who were there have to say about how they experienced it all down on the pitch.
