Bayern blunder over Sancho: BVB hit back ruthlessly online | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund responded mockingly to an embarrassing social media mistake by FC Bayern. At the same time, speculation surrounding a possible return of Jadon Sancho to BVB continues to gather pace.

FC Bayern made an awkward blunder at precisely the moment of their greatest triumph. After winning their 35th German championship and a 4–2 victory over Stuttgart, the record champions wanted to shine off the pitch as well — but a social media post instead prompted ridicule from Dortmund.

On their English-language channel, the Munich side showcased attacking player Luis Díaz along with his strong season stats and wrote: “The first player ever with 13+ goals and 13+ assists in a Bundesliga season… and it’s not over yet.” A claim that is simply not true. Jadon Sancho already achieved exactly that in the 2019/20 season — and in far more impressive fashion.

The response from Dortmund did not take long. With a tongue-in-cheek reply, BVB picked up on the mistake and dryly commented: “I‘m extremely confused”. A little dig that is likely to have landed with their rivals from Munich. After all, Sancho set the benchmark back then with 17 goals and 16 assists, numbers Díaz still has to match. Marco Reus also remains ahead of the Colombian with his 2013/14 season.

Sancho return to BVB? Signs are mounting

At the same time, another aspect surrounding Sancho is coming back into focus: a possible return to Dortmund. The signs are mounting that the Englishman could begin a third chapter at BVB this summer. Even within the squad, the topic is being followed closely.

Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel indirectly fueled the discussion when he shared a video about the transfer rumors in an Instagram story. He stopped short of making a clear statement, but the signal was obvious: the Sancho situation is very much present.

Coach Niko Kovac also made no secret of what the current squad is lacking. In a talk show appearance, he said: “What we certainly don’t have are those players that some people here would probably like to see — the ones with extra skills.” He then became even more specific: “I think what we, or the fans, are missing is maybe the Sancho, the Haaland, the Dembélé, the Reus.”

With his one-on-one ability and creativity, Sancho could give Dortmund’s attack fresh impetus. Whether the 26-year-old will actually make a return remains to be seen.
