Congrats: Guinea goal machine Guirassy secures Dortmund milestone after destroying Amorim's ex
Serhou Guirassy continued his impressive performance for Borussia Dortmund this season in the Champions League with another matching display against Sporting Lisbon.
Guirassy, 29, put on a show as Borussia Dortmund narrowly missed out on a place in the semifinal after a four-goal thriller against in-form Barcelona at the Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday night.
Trailing 4-1 on aggregate, the 29-year-old Guinea had the Germans dreaming of the impossible after hitting a sensational hattrick to give them a 3-1 lead on the night.
)
Guirassy’s historic tally, which included a breathtaking hat-trick in the quarterfinals—also the first by an African at that stage—eclipsed the previous bests of Drogba (10 goals), Salah (11 goals, twice), and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (10 goals).
His 13 goals even outstripped the single-season Champions League hauls of Dortmund greats Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski, both capped at 10.
)
Despite Guirassy’s heroics, Dortmund fell short in their quarterfinal clash, losing 5-3 on aggregate to Barcelona.
The Spanish giants, reaching the semi-finals for the first time since 2018/19, capitalised on a four-goal first-leg advantage.
)
Dortmund’s valiant home effort, sparked by Guirassy’s brilliance, hinted at a miraculous comeback, but they exited the competition with heads held high, ruing their first-leg deficit.
Guirassy’s record-breaking season not only cements his place among Africa’s footballing elite but could also inspire a new generation, as he redefines what’s possible on Europe’s grandest stage.
