German clubs in 2024/25 UEFA Champions League, Europa League & Conference League: fixtures, results and draws
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are through to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, while Eintracht Frankfurt have likewise booked their place in the UEFA Europa League last eight...
Thanks to the performances of German clubs in UEFA competitions last year, including final appearances by Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and Europa League respectively, the Bundesliga started the season with five clubs competing in the Champions League in Leverkusen, VfB Stuttgart, Bayern, RB Leipzig and Dortmund.
Bayern romped to a 5-0 aggregate win over Leverkusen in the last 16, while Dortmund edged out Lille to advance to the quarter-finals. Frankfurt, meanwhile, thrashed Ajax 6-2 on aggregate to progress to the next round of the Europa League.
Leverkusen had secured direct passage to the last 16 after finishing sixth in the new 36-team league phase, meanwhile Bayern and Dortmund negotiated the play-offs to reach the knockouts. Stuttgart and Leipzig went out in the league phase as the path to the final at Munich's Allianz Arena, which last hosted the showpiece in 2012, takes shape.
Hoffenheim narrowly missed out on a play-off berth in the Europa League via the league stage standings. Heidenheim too bowed out of European action after losing their round of 16 play-off tie against Copenhagen in dramatic fashion at the Voith Arena.

Play-off results
Häcken 1-2 Heidenheim (first leg)
Goals: 0-1 Conteh 35', 1-1 Rygaard 36', 1-2 Scienza 65'
Heidenheim won their first-ever European fixture by beating Sweden's Häcken 2-1 in their UEFA Conference League play-off first leg in Gothenburg. Sirlord Conteh broke the deadlock, only for Mikkel Rygaard to level within five minutes. A superb Leo Scienza strike off the inside of the post restored the Bundesliga club's lead, though, leaving Heidenheim a positive result on home soil away from reaching the tournament proper.
Heidenheim 3-2 Häcken (second leg, 5-3 on aggregate)
Goals: 1-0 Pieringer (30'), 1-1 Inoussa (59'), 1-2 Agbonifo (79'), 2-2 Wanner (84'), 3-2 Honsak (90'+2)
Heidenheim appeared to be well on course to qualify for the competition proper when Marvin Pieringer opened the scoring on the night, and 3-1 on aggregate, with a fine finish from Conteh's cut-back. However, despite being in control for most of the first half, Frank Schmidt's men let Häcken back into the tie after the break, with Zeidane Inoussa and Jeremy Agbonifo turning the game on its head. However, substitute Paul Wanner, on loan from Bayern, provided a goal and an assist in the closing stages to make sure it was Heidenheim who put their name into the hat for the league-phase draw.
