Julian Brandt lacing up his football boots for VfL Wolfsburg is a thing of the distant past. Brandt came up through the VfL youth system from 2011 to 2014, before moving on to Leverkusen and then Borussia Dortmund.
In yesterday’s 2-1 victory for BVB over the Wolves, it was, of course, the national player who scored the decisive goal.
