Guirassy extends strong record in BVB’s Champions League home ties | OneFootball

When the lights come on at Signal Iduna Park during the week, you can count on Serhou Guirassy to score a goal for his BVB. At least, if it's a Champions League game and not the DFB-Pokal, in which Bayer Leverkusen will be visiting next week. Currently, Serhou Guirassy is on an impressive run in CL home games.

The second half of the fifth matchday is still to be completed, after 18 of 36 teams were already active last night. Currently, at least, no other club has scored more goals in the Champions League than Borussia Dortmund. Niko Kovac's players have netted 17 times against their opponents so far. The current CL season for the Black and Yellows started with a goal fest, as the match against Juventus Turin ended 4:4.

These numbers were apparently an omen. Since then, in three of the four subsequent games, they have also scored four goals, as they did yesterday in the 4:0 win over FC Villarreal. Additionally, it was 4:1 against Athletic Bilbao and 4:2 at FC Copenhagen. Only in their sole defeat so far, the 1:4 at Manchester City, did BVB score just once.

In CL, Guirassy makes BVB fans cheer particularly often

One of the guarantors for this consistently high goal tally in the Champions League is, of course, Serhou Guirassy. Recently, he had gone through longer dry spells. However, in the Champions League, he scores particularly regularly in home games. As BVB themselves calculated on their website today, the Ghanaian now stands at twelve goals in the last nine CL home games for BVB after his two goals yesterday.

Last season, Serhou Guirassy was famously the top scorer of the Champions League, with a total of thirteen goals. Currently, he has only three goals, but still ranks 9th on the top scorers list. Leading is Victor Osimhen with six goals, ahead of three players with five goals each, including Harry Kane and former Dortmund player Erling Haaland.

BVB's next CL match is at home against FK Bodø/Glimt. Then Serhou Guirassy can further expand his impressive CL home record. After an away game at Tottenham Hotspur, the home game against Inter Milan will conclude the league phase. There, too, one can hope for more goals from Guirassy, who currently particularly enjoys scoring at Signal Iduna Park when it comes to points in the Champions League.
