Magical moment in the Süd: Reus makes emotional BVB comeback | OneFootball

After his surprising appearance on the South Stand, Marco Reus became more of a focal point at the BVB evening than the game itself. With clear messages to two Dortmund stars, the club legend showed how present he still is in Dortmund.

Marco Reus marked an evening with his return to Dortmund, which was rather sobering in sporting terms. While Borussia Dortmund only played 2-2 against underdog Bodø/Glimt and thus missed an important step towards the Champions League playoffs, one person in particular drew attention: the former BVB captain himself.

Reus traveled to Dortmund as the newly appointed BVB ambassador and initially accompanied the evening as an expert for DAZN. Shortly before kickoff, stadium announcer Norbert Dickel introduced him with the words: “He is and remains a Borusse. Our eternal number eleven.” However, Reus did not disappear into the VIP ranks but mingled with the fans in an Adeyemi jersey with a hood – directly on the South Stand, side by side with Kevin Großkreutz.

There, he experienced a perspective that surprised him. “It was incredible. I never had that view, and that's why I really wanted to try it out. It was gigantic, really cool,” the 36-year-old later enthused.

BVB Legend Reus with Clear Advice to Schlotterbeck

Despite the mediocre game, he was deeply impressed by the unwavering support of the fans: “Without the people in the stands, football is nothing at all, that must be clearly stated.”

Besides his stadium moments, Reus also caused a stir with clear words to two BVB key players. Regarding Nico Schlotterbeck's contract negotiations, he said: “It would be good for both BVB and Schlotti if they come together.” Schlotterbeck is a player who “has a lot of self-confidence” and fits the identity of the club.

Julian Brandt, with whom Reus has been closely connected for years, also received clear advice. “I would, of course, advise him to stay,” he emphasized – not without pointing out how much quality Brandt brings to the team.

Apart from the future of other professionals, his own career question remains open. Since Wednesday evening, Reus is officially a BVB ambassador, and as a player, he is still under contract with LA Galaxy until 2026. When it will finally end, he wants to leave to his body: “Until my feet say: that's enough.”
