BVB legend Reus returns to Dortmund | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund can look forward to a reunion with club legend Marco Reus. During the MLS break, he returns as a DAZN expert for the Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt.

Marco Reus is making a special kind of comeback during the MLS off-season: The former captain of Borussia Dortmund will be appearing in front of the camera for the first time as a TV expert for DAZN this coming Wednesday – and directly at the Champions League home game of his former club against FK Bodø/Glimt.

The 36-year-old, who has been playing for Los Angeles Galaxy since the summer of 2024, is using the MLS break to start his career in television. Reus will appear at Signal Iduna Park alongside presenter Christina Rann and expert Sebastian Kneißl, both before the kickoff at 9:00 PM and in the post-match coverage. DAZN announced that Reus will “support with his expert assessments on the sidelines in the pre-match and post-match coverage.”

For the fans, this appearance means a reunion with one of the defining players of the past decade. Reus played in 429 competitive matches for BVB from 2012 to 2024, won the DFB-Pokal twice, and bid farewell last year after the lost Champions League final at Wembley.

Former BVB Stars in Demand on TV – Hummels Makes Headlines with Criticism

In his first MLS season, he scored five goals and provided eight assists, but missed the playoffs with Galaxy. In his debut as an expert, he might also encounter familiar faces – such as sports director Sebastian Kehl or other former teammates. The demand for ex-Dortmund players in TV roles was recently demonstrated by Mats Hummels, who made headlines with his clear words about BVB: “You get the feeling you see a stable team that brings the basics to the field. But that’s also all you see in a negative sense.”

Reus will return to Galaxy in February, with his contract running at least until the end of 2026. A career end followed by a full-time expert job still seems distant – his first step into the TV business now takes place precisely where his professional legend was born: in Dortmund.
