Champions League: Aubameyang Shines as Dortmund Crush Galatasaray
While Borussia Dortmund continues to struggle in the Bundesliga, their Champions League campaign tells a very different story. On Wednesday night, Jürgen Klopp’s side delivered a statement performance in Istanbul, crushing Galatasaray 4-0 in a dominant display.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Dortmund’s dynamic Gabonese forward, was the star of the evening, scoring twice and validating his manager’s faith in him. “Aubameyang was the first choice for the match and he took his chance,” said Klopp after the match, as quoted by L’Équipe. “We are happy tonight, but the most important thing now is to play well against Hannover in the league on Saturday.”
Despite their domestic woes, Dortmund sits comfortably at the top of their Champions League group with 9 points, ahead of Arsenal (6 points), putting them in a strong position to qualify early for the knockout rounds.
With confidence high in Europe, Dortmund now hopes to translate their form onto the Bundesliga stage — starting with a much-needed win this weekend.
