Match3 May 2027

Borussia Dortmund up to position 2

79 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Muhammed Damar keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Borussia Dortmund may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Home is on Willian Pacho's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Borussia Dortmund are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Serhou Guirassy in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Borussia Dortmund this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 May 2027

Willian Pacho falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad3 May 2027

Yvan Zaddy stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Yvan Zaddy and Borussia Dortmund agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout3 May 2027

No hiding place for Emre Can

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Emre Can, and the manager let it.

When it matters, Waldemar Anton plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market3 May 2027

The Nico Schlotterbeck question follows Borussia Dortmund around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Nico Schlotterbeck’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match24 Oct 2026

Whatever happens, Borussia Dortmund do not lose

9 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Yvan Zaddy arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Yvan Zaddy has, at Borussia Dortmund, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Borussia Dortmund

José Martínez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Solly March beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Yvan Zaddy signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yvan Zaddy and Borussia Dortmund agree another 4 years.

A long bet from Borussia Dortmund on Yvan Zaddy

He is 20, and nobody at Borussia Dortmund signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Waldemar Anton dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Half-satisfied: Uwe Stein on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
