BVB star in the spotlight: bizarre shirt blunder involving Guirassy | OneFootball

Serhou Guirassy caused a stir during the Champions League match against Juventus Turin. His teammate Karim Adeyemi took the incident with humor and joked: “Maybe marketing?”

In the spectacular Champions League opener between Borussia Dortmund and Juventus Turin, both teams delivered a true goal festival. After 90 minutes, the score was a spectacular 4:4, with all eight goals coming in the second half. But it wasn’t just the drama on the pitch that got people talking: BVB striker Serhou Guirassy made headlines due to a bizarre jersey error.

Instead of his name, “Dortmund” was printed above the number 9 on Guirassy’s back—again. Under the number, “Dortmund” was also printed. A rare faux pas that stood out amid the eight-goal madness. Normally, the player’s name is printed above the number and the club’s name below it. Teammate Karim Adeyemi took the mishap with humor: “Maybe marketing,” joked the national player in the mixed zone after the match.

The cause of the double labeling is likely a jersey change at halftime: In the first half, Guirassy was still wearing a correctly printed jersey with his name, as could be seen in BVB’s Instagram stories before the game. It was only in the second half that the double “Dortmund” appeared on his back.

Double Dortmund: Guirassy causes bizarre jersey fail at BVB

On the pitch, the 29-year-old was actively involved in the game. In the 53rd minute, he set up Dortmund’s 1:0 goal by Karim Adeyemi. Later, Guirassy forced a handball penalty, which Ramy Bensebaini confidently converted after a brief dispute between the two players over who would take it. Dortmund’s goals were scored by Adeyemi (52’), Felix Nmecha (65’), Yan Couto (74’), and Bensebaini (86’/penalty). For Juventus, Kenan Yildiz (63’), Dusan Vlahovic (68’/90+4), and Lloyd Kelly (90+6) found the net.

In the end, Dortmund’s two-goal lead wasn’t enough: In the fourth and sixth minutes of stoppage time, Vlahovic and Kelly equalized for the Italians. Alongside the dramatic finale, Guirassy’s jersey mishap made the rounds on social media, as the printing error made an already memorable Champions League night even more bizarre.
