One more Champions League final on June 1 at Wembley with Real Madrid and that’s it, Marco Reus has finished with Borussia Dortmund after 22 years (10 in the junior categories and 12 in the first team). The long-time captain will have the opportunity to say goodbye to the club in style, with the most important trophy in club football, but today was an equally emotional day for him. The last time before leaving for the United States (most likely St. Louis), the experienced forward ran in front of the packed stands of Westfalen. At the end of the 2023/2024 Bundesliga season, the Millionaires said goodbye to their fans with a convincing 4:0 against Darmstadt, and Reus completed his memorable day with a free kick to make it 2:0 in the 38th minute. He stayed in the game until ten minutes before the end, when the players of both teams made a wall for him and saw him off the field with applause.FREE DRINKS FOR EVERYONE! 🍻 #BVB legend Marco Reus invited all 80,000 Borussia Dortmund fans for a beer today.

It will be his second chance to lift the “early” trophy. In the first, in 2013 also in London, Borussia’s biggest rival, Bayern Munich, was more successful.”The desire for the trophy is boundless! Belief must also be boundless” said Marko Reus ahead of perhaps the most important match of his career.##NAJAVA_MECA_8109571##
