What’s happening at Dortmund? Criticised duo now a real threat | OneFootball

The 2024/25 season start went terribly wrong for Borussia Dortmund. However, things are running smoothly this season, especially in the Bundesliga. In today’s match against Mainz, a duo that is usually heavily criticized played a major role in that success.

Julian Brandt set up both the 1:0 and 2:0 for BVB against FSV. That brings him to three scorer points in four Bundesliga matches. At this point in the 2024/25 season, he had just one assist.

The second goal was set up by the midfield strategist for his teammate Karim Adeyemi, who is currently really taking off. Across all competitions, it was the fifth scorer point in five appearances for the German international. He’s rarely been seen this effective.

A BVB that’s already performing strongly at the start of the season—that’s almost uncanny.
