Erling Haaland’s ‘a la Cruyff’ goal, the masterpiece that Pep Guardiola compared to Johan’s legendary goal against Atlético, foreshadows the fate of Borussia Dortmund, the club that developed stars, discovered promise and cracks, eventually sentenced to see them leave. And again.
Welcome to the locker room tunnel. Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund took to the field. And then an unknown City in attack, a Dortmund that knows how to close spaces. His former teammates with control of Haaland. Well guarded for 80 minutes. A Haaland who only touched the ball 26 times in the whole match (the fewest of all the stars of the match). But waiting, always waiting, for his chance.
Jude Bellingham leading Dortmund. Signal Iduna Park team fans are dreaming. John Stones draws. The dream begins to fade. And yes, it’s time for Haaland. A good assist from Joao Cancelo and the Norwegian star’s stratospheric goals. In Cruyff. End of story.
At the end, a hug from Haaland to Edin Terzic, coach of Dortmund. Smiles between the new City star and Bellingham. And, in front of the media, the Haaland of always: “They can’t stop me. I know they’ll mark me the whole game. Edin knows me well.”
This is the fate of Dortmund. Bet on young talents, sometimes not even young, finish training them, check them out. For a lot of money. Even. In the case of Haaland, 60 million euros under a clause. A bargain. See Robert Lewandowski leave for Bayern. Bayern themselves are removing Mario Götze on the eve of the Champions League final between the two teams. Yes, the fate of Dortmund.
