UEFA Champions League 2019/20, Borussia Dortmund 0-0 FC Barcelona: Hits and Flops

#1 Flop: Marco Reus

The 30-year-old was presented with a golden chance to record a historic win for his club as Jadon Sancho was swiped down by Nelson Semedo in the penalty box

Marco Reus is the one world-class player that refused to make the jump from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern Munich. He’s the one that stayed loyal and because of that, he’s become somewhat of a cult hero in these parts of Germany. However, it was a night to forget for the club legend.

The 30-year-old was presented with a golden chance to record a historic win for his club as Jadon Sancho was swiped down by Nelson Semedo in the penalty box.

As the club’s penalty taker, Reus instantly stepped up to the plate. He would, however, be met by his match in his German teammate, Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The German keeper would make a wonderful save to his left whilst also having the reactions to swallow up the rebound.

If that weren’t enough, Reus then missed from 12 yards out again, as he blazed over a low cross in the 75th minute. With that, Dortmund’s main two chances were both squandered by the same man, leaving them to wonder what if.
