3 reasons why Borussia Dortmund are dark horses in the Champions League this season

#3 Goals Galore!

Paco Alcacer has scored 9 Goals in 8 appearances for Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have scored 46 Goals in all competitions this season, and to put things in perspective, that's the same amount of goals as Barcelona. And no, they don't have a Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez to bang in 40 Goals a season, but what they do have is a hard-working team that's playing some excellent football this season.

Dortmund's strikers have always been world-class; Robert Lewandowski plied his trade at Dortmund (2010-14) before going on to become one of the most lethal goalscorers the world has seen for Bayern Munich, and the same goes for Pierre-Emerick Aubameiyang, before he joined Arsenal in January this Year.

This time around Dortmund have managed to acquire Barcelona loanee Paco Alcacer, who seems to be scoring goals for fun. What makes things even more amusing is that the Spaniard has started only 4 games for Dortmund owing to small muscle injuries.

Despite the injuries and the appearances off the bench, Alcacer averages one goal every 44.5 Minutes. Absolutely sensational. It isn't only Alcacer who is finding the back of the net regularly even Marco Reus and Jado Sancho are pitching in with 11 and 5 Goals respectively. Fun fact, Dortmund have 14 different Goalscorers in the Bundesliga. Talk about team spirit!
