Sancho as BVB’s Most Important Player?
This was certainly an interesting article from Deutsche Welle. I’m not sure I agree its conclusion. The author argues that Sancho’s production in terms of goals and assists is irreplaceable. While this may be true, there are other players on the squad like Axel Witsel or Mats Hummels whose contributions aren’t reflected by goals and assists.

Here’s some Group F news: with Barcelona set to face Inter Milan next week, Lionel Messi has suffered a thigh injury and may not be able to play in the Champions League. This could have significant repercussions for Borussia Dortmund. If Inter are able to defeat Barcelona, it could make BVB’s passage through the Champions League significantly harder. Right now, Inter are top of the table in Italy, and have only conceded one goal under Antonio Conte’s defensive system. For BVB fans, this will be a very notable story moving forward.
