Marco Reus and Mats Hummels are the two survivors from the Borussia Dortmund team that lost to Bayern Munich in the 2013 Champions League final at Wembley. Now, 11 years on, they have a chance to right the wrongs after securing a place in this season’s final following a 2-0 win against Paris Saint-Germain.
It was a masterclass performance from Borussia Dortmund over the 180 minutes and it’s one that will long live in the history of Dortmund fans. PSG hit the woodwork a total of six times across the two legs and amassed over 40 shots, but they still failed to find the net. Hummels’ goal on the night secured a famous victory at the Parc des Princes.
One last hurrah for Marco Reus
Last week Reus announced that he would be leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season when his contract expires, ending a his 12-year stay at Die Schwarzgelben.
Speaking to Prime after Dortmund’s win against PSG, Reus (34) said: “Wembley. Where it all began, in 2013. Back in the final with Borussia Dortmund after more than 10 years. We have to win it now. Otherwise it would be crap. Crazy!”
