They met in the Champions League's first round back in December, and the Catalans won 3–2 to take all three points at Signal Iduna Park.

Barcelona has won all five of their meetings with Dortmund in Europe. They won 3 games and drew two against Borussia Dortmund. They have only played more games without losing against Werder Bremen, Lyon, and Napoli. During his time at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, Flick has also performed admirably against Dortmund, winning all six encounters. Against them, his teams scored three goals on average each game. They have scored the most goals in the competition this season 32 goals since 2011–12, when they scored 35.  

Borussia Dortmund Preview:

For the first time since 2012–13 and 2013–14, Dortmund advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals for the ninth time in a row. But they frequently have difficulties while playing Spanish teams. They have only won one of their 10 knockout stage games and only three of their twenty away games against Spanish opponents. Keeping in mind the form of Barcelona it will be difficult, for Dortmund to take the lead in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League
