Serhou Guirassy Celebrates 100 Matches with Borussia Dortmund

Serhou Guirassy walked off the pitch with a win, two goals and a milestone he hadn’t even seen coming.

"I'm very, very happy to have played 100 matches for Dortmund. I didn't even know that," the 30-year-old striker admitted after Borussia Dortmund’s wild 3-2 home victory over Villarreal CF. He arrived from VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2024; just over two years later, he already has a century of competitive appearances in black and yellow.

That volume of games says plenty about his durability. His numbers say even more about his ruthlessness.

Against Villarreal, Guirassy struck goals number 63 and 64 for BVB, underlining once again why he has become the club’s latest goal machine. In Dortmund’s modern era, only one man sits above him in that regard: Erling Haaland. The Norwegian phenomenon plundered 86 goals in just 89 competitive matches for the club, a benchmark that still towers over everyone else.

Guirassy has now drawn level with another famous name in one specific metric. Lothar Emmerich also scored 64 times in his first 100 Bundesliga matches for Borussia Dortmund. Guirassy’s start, statistically, belongs in that kind of company.

Climbing the Champions League ladder

The night brought history in Europe as well.

Guirassy used his 25th Champions League appearance for BVB to move past Robert Lewandowski in the club’s all-time scoring list in the competition. The Polish striker had hit 17 goals in 28 Champions League games for Dortmund. Guirassy now stands on 19.

Only Marco Reus remains ahead of him. The club icon has 24 Champions League goals from 72 matches, a mark Guirassy is now clearly chasing.

"Of course, it's something very special to break Lewandowski's record, because he is a great striker," Guirassy told Prime, fully aware of the calibre of the name he has just overtaken.

The match itself hardly followed a neat script. Momentum swung, control slipped, and yet Dortmund found a way.

"It was a strange match tonight," Guirassy reflected on the 3-2 win. "A crazy game. We could have done better, but we're happy with the win."

Records, goals, and a result that keeps Dortmund moving. On nights like this, the numbers feel less like statistics and more like a warning to every defence left on their schedule.
