Before the big duel with FC Bayern, BVB is in better shape than it has been for a long time, the game against Cologne was like an action film. Why is that and what two possible contract extensions have to do with it.
Marius Wolf, who had just been called up to the national team, was touched by one of the best weeks of his life: Marco Reus let Dortmund know that he wanted to end his career at Borussia. Doomed defender Raphael Guerreiro is undergoing his spectacular transformation into a goalscorer at 29. And cancer-healed striker Sebastien Haller scored his first brace for BVB and afterwards described how he sees everything as a “bonus” at the moment, a beautiful bonus. This kaleidoscope of great emotions was wrapped up in a 6-1 win in front of 81,365 spectators against 1. FC Köln.
