Defeat and penalty miss, a rough international for Serhou Guirassy | OneFootball

Although Guinea, with Serhou Guirassy, had already failed in the fall in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, the Borussia Dortmund striker still traveled to join his national team for two friendlies, which generally — and especially for Guirassy himself — brought both highs and lows.

On Friday, Guinea, also thanks to a goal from Guirassy, at least managed a 2-2 draw against Togo after trailing 0-2. On Tuesday, however, Guinea lost 0-1 to Benin. Guirassy had the big chance to equalize, but missed from the penalty spot.

The now 28-cap international (11 goals) therefore does not return to Dortmund brimming with confidence, but with Saturday and the away game at his former club VfB Stuttgart in mind, he is likely to be highly motivated.

Future decision still pending

After all, for Guirassy it is not only about putting in a strong showing with BVB in Stuttgart and keeping the slim title hopes alive, but also about putting himself in the shop window on a personal level.

Despite a contract running until 2028, it is far from certain that Guirassy will play a third season for BVB. A release clause, which is apparently significantly lower than long assumed, could allow the 30-year-old to move in the summer, and initial interested clubs such as AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur are said to have already positioned themselves. However, Guirassy does not want to make a decision until after the season ends in May.
