- Andreas Poulsen has undergone a shoulder operation, while Julio Villalba has a muscle injury.
clean win for BVB over an uncomfortable adversary. just the right start of the season.
Sancho is so suited to BVB atm, it doesn't make sense for him to move elsewhere atm. Stay at BVB, keep growing and developing as a player, and in a couple of years even more clubs will be lined up for him
The money Dortmund is gonna get for selling players the next few years is gonna be insane (Sancho, Haaland, Bellingham, Reyna, Brandt), they could all go for 100 Mil+ each in the future
@Kendev Sancho has a contract until '23, he is not gonna be sold. Neither will be Brandt, Reyna or Bellingham. Haaland maybe ... And Brandt worth 100 mio ? :-))) Only Sancho is worth that much ...
@neumi17 Didnt say worth, i am just saying they are gonna go for that kind of money in todays or future market, but knowing Dortmunds negotiating tactics, they will defo go for 100Mil+ each, mark my words. Oh and about the contract of Sancho, if City is coming in next year with 150Mil for Sancho, no doubt in my mind Dortmund wouldnt accept it haha, contracts mean nothing :)
Borussia to win or draw
@uefalona Great prediction ...
3-1 Dortmund win
I don't recall last time Gladbach get anything out of this, maybe it was during Tuchel's first season. Win for Dortmund.
