Bellingham celebrated before some Madrid loser scored. Way to show respect to your previous club Pellingham
If Mats Hummels hadn’t been unnecessarily dropped for 4(?)ish years from the national team, I think they would have continued to dominate
He’ll break the record this season I’m telling you.
He’s just breaking records left and right now, isn’t he?
sometimes having a favorite player means you get to see them play one or two seasons at your favorite club (if you're lucky) and after that they transfer to a team you can't or don't want to follow them to. i have been one of the even luckier ones - i got to see one of my absolute favorite players play at my favorite club for over twelve years. the long lost son finally back home.
this bundesliga chapter ends today. and i know a lot of people will look at his career and only see the lacking titles. no bundesliga title, despite bvb being close twice in those years. no world cup title because of an unfortunate injury in the last friendly before the team's flight to brazil. his first champions league final also ended in a defeat (hopefully we'll be more successful the second time around).
when i look at that time, however, i see someone who always believed in his club and especially in its potential. who stood by it in sometimes better and sometimes worse times. who didn't leave, despite that being the easier option. i also see someone who brought players and fans to this club - among them certainly people who maybe would've looked the other way without him.
so thank you, marco. i hope we'll see each other in black and yellow again, when the time's right.

So FIFA The Best Awards are out and it’s absolutely disgraceful. The bias that FIFA have against German teams in general is really showing with these nominations. We already know they’re biased against us, but this?
Dortmund went to a UCL FINAL with Kobel, the goalkeeper of the tournament; Sabitzer, who received multiple MOTM awards during the UCL, and Hummels who was the defender of the tournament and got 3 MOTM AS A DEFENDER. And only Hummels was nominated.
Harry Kane scored 40 something goals, and was close to breaking the leagues record in his first season. He should have gotten a nomination.
Martinez getting the goalkeeper awards for his World Cup 2022 performance over Kobel, the goalkeeper of the tournament is pathetic. Messi has been chilling in a retirement league, he shouldn’t be anywhere near this list, and that goes for all players in retirement leagues.
It’s crazy how we keep on getting robbed. No one will ever take our league seriously because FIFA as an organization doesn’t even take the league seriously.
I know we’re all still upset about Marco leaving (😞), but he’s not the only one leaving. Both Mateau Morey and Marius Wolf are also leaving.
Marius Wolf is a difficult topic. He played plenty, and when he did play it was often unconvincing and not Dortmund standard. However, there were times when he did show up, and has always played for the badge. Each time he played, he played for the clubs sucess, not the multi million dollar pay check he was going to get at the end of the week. He shouldn’t have even played that much, we should have had better alternatives, but we didn’t. So he played, and he did his job. Not all the time, but enough to get us through the season. He played during our UCL journey, and has been here for such beautiful moments.
It really sucks for Mateu, because I feel that he could have really made something out of his time at this beautiful club. But he didn’t have the chance. When your body is fighting against all your hopes and dreams, hampering your potential and ability, it is a very hard road for success, more often than not resulting in failure. He didn’t deserve his year long, practically career ending injury, but it happened anyway. He still clearly loves the club, and it’s something I will forever be thankful for.
Thank you for everything Marius and Mateu!
He’ll be a manager by 2028? Not surprised considering we’ve turned into former player turned manager fc 🤣
Where is he going? W H E R E 😶🌫️
