Borussia Dortmund 1996-97 Home Retro Jersey - Sammer #6

Relive the crowning glory of Borussia Dortmund's history with a retro replica of the Borussia Dortmund 1996-97 Home Retro Jersey, featuring the name and #6 of the German legend Matthias Sammer. This iconic yellow and black shirt is forever linked with the season the club won its first and only UEFA Champions League title. Manufactured by Nike, the jersey features the classic yellow base with black paneling and trim. A subtle BVB crest watermark is visible throughout the fabric. The shirt proudly displays the sponsor "Die Continentale" across the chest, which became synonymous with this European triumph. This kit was worn during the triumphant campaign where Dortmund, under manager Ottmar Hitzfeld, finished third in the Bundesliga but conquered Europe. They famously beat the heavily favored Juventus 3-1 in the Champions League final in Munich. Matthias Sammer, who operated as an exceptional libero (sweeper), was at the peak of his powers and captained the team to glory, lifting the European Cup. He had won the Ballon d'Or in 1996, making him the first defender to win the award since Franz Beckenbauer.
