Brace brings more milestones for Julian Brandt – and for BVB | OneFootball

Over the weekend, Julian Brandt played his 200th Bundesliga match in the jersey of Borussia Dortmund. In the 2-0 victory over TSG Hoffenheim, he scored the opening goal and was able to celebrate three "unremarkable but important" points after the final whistle. Yesterday, he even scored twice, setting a new milestone for BVB and achieving another personal milestone. However, this was not enough for the victory against FK Bodø/Glimt.

Julian Brandt's second goal yesterday at Signal Iduna Park was BVB's 300th goal in the Champions League. Thus, Brandt helped his club reach a significant milestone. However, the 100th victory in the Champions League, which was actually planned, would have been the much more important number to achieve yesterday. Therefore, the joy for Brandt and BVB over reaching 300 goals is likely to be limited.

Beginnings at Bayer Leverkusen, with BVB since 2019

The same likely applies to another significant milestone that Julian Brandt reached when he stood on the field at the kickoff of the Champions League match. The 2-2 draw against FK Bodø/Glimt was his 500th professional game.

The native of Bremen made his professional football debut on February 15, 2014. At that time, he lost with Bayer Leverkusen at home 1-2 against FC Schalke 04, having been substituted in the 82nd minute for Heung Min-Son. Three days later, he also made his debut in European competition when he played with Bayer against Paris St. Germain and was again substituted.

Brandt quickly established himself at Bayer and became a regular player, not only under the Bayer cross but also becoming a German national player in 2016. In 2019, he transferred to BVB, where he is now the longest-serving professional in the squad. In these eleven years of professional football, Julian Brandt has now accumulated 500 appearances and became a jubilarian, even achieving a brace – without the outcome of the match giving cause for celebration.

However, the statistical curiosities do not end there. Which BVB legend Julian Brandt has surpassed with this additional competitive match for BVB can be found in this article.
