Serhou Guirassy Surpasses Lewandowski with Key Goals in Borussia Dortmund's Champions League Win

Serhou Guirassy reached a remarkable milestone during Borussia Dortmund's thrilling 3-2 win over Villarreal at Signal Iduna Park. Marking his 100th appearance for the club, the Guinea international scored twice, securing three vital points in their Champions League opener.

Match Highlights

• Dortmund's early lead: Came from a Renato Veiga own goal.
• Villarreal response: Santiago Mourino leveled the score.
• Guirassy's impact: Netted two goals—a close-range finish and a penalty.
• Late twist: Gregor Kobel’s save deflected off Guirassy’s face, resulting in an own goal.

Breaking Records

Guirassy's brace took his total to 64 goals in 100 games for BVB, lifting his Champions League tally for Dortmund to 19 goals in 25 appearances. This pushed him past Robert Lewandowski, who scored 17 in European competition for the club. Speaking after the match, the 30-year-old said:

"I'm very, very happy to have played a hundred games for Dortmund - I didn’t even realise that. Of course, it’s something very special to break Lewandowski’s record, because he’s a great striker."

European Consistency

Since joining Dortmund from Stuttgart in 2024, Guirassy has been impressively consistent on the European stage. He now stands second in Dortmund’s all-time Champions League scoring list, only behind Marco Reus, who has 24 goals. Reflecting on the intense match and his accidental own goal, Guirassy commented:

"It was a strange game tonight - a crazy game. We could have done better, but we’re happy with the win."

Looking Ahead: Bundesliga Focus

After this hard-fought victory, Dortmund shifts focus back to Bundesliga action this weekend. They will host Paderborn at Signal Iduna Park, hoping to maintain their perfect domestic record. The team has won all two of their opening league matches, collecting six points. Guirassy’s sharp form will be crucial as Die Schwarzgelben aim to stay atop the table.
