Jadon Sancho expressed his enduring affinity for Borussia Dortmund following his instrumental role in propelling the German outfit into the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Sancho, currently on loan from Manchester United, contributed significantly to Dortmund’s 2-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.
Having transferred to Manchester United from Dortmund for €85m in August 2021, Sancho’s tenure at the English club proved turbulent, leading to his temporary return to Germany amidst disagreements with manager Erik ten Hag. The 23-year-old forward’s early goal, coupled with Marco Reus’s late strike, secured a 3-1 aggregate triumph over Eindhoven, marking Dortmund’s first appearance in the Champions League quarter-finals in three years.
In an interview with TNT Sports, Sancho emphasized his deep-rooted connection with Dortmund, acknowledging the pivotal role the club played in shaping his career. He expressed gratitude towards both Dortmund and his teammates for their unwavering support, underscoring the significance of their collective effort in securing victory.
Dortmund, currently occupying fourth place in the Bundesliga standings, are poised to face Eintracht Frankfurt in their upcoming fixture on Sunday.
