Pablo Barrios says Borussia Dortmund went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

No mercy from Borussia Dortmund
St. Pauli will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Borussia Dortmund were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Borussia Dortmund make home a hard place to visit
12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

A defender's goal wins it for Borussia Dortmund — 7.76
1 for Pablo Barrios, marked 7.76, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Tempers go at Borussia Dortmund
Serhou Guirassy was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Still nobody has beaten Borussia Dortmund
The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

No hiding place for Solly March
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Solly March, and the manager let it.

A row about effort at Borussia Dortmund
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Waldemar Anton was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Matthias Hartmann steps up from the Borussia Dortmund academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Matthias Hartmann has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
