Guirassy Shines in Dortmund’s Champions League Victory with Heartfelt Tribute

omidbasir- Borussia Dortmund continues to celebrate the remarkable resurgence of Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy. His recent goal in last night’s Champions League victory has extended his scoring streak to four games across all competitions. Guirassy opened the scoring against Atalanta Bergamo in the 3rd minute, revealing a heartfelt message for a family member as he lifted his BVB jersey.

This tribute was dedicated to his late niece, Aissata Guirassy, who had recently passed away. The 26-time capped Guinean international confirmed this touching gesture during an interview with Prime Video following the match. Guirassy dedicated his 16th goal across all competitions this season to his brother and family, expressing his condolences for the “difficult time” his relatives are experiencing.

The emotional celebration took BVB head coach Niko Kovac by surprise, and he chose not to comment on Guirassy’s goal celebration during the post-match press conference. However, he took the opportunity to commend the striker’s performance, as did BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl.

“Serhou not only scored one goal and set up another,” Kovac remarked. “He also maintained possession and applied pressure on the opposition. His work rate was impressive.”

Kehl echoed these sentiments in the mixed zone, stating, “He worked hard and believed in himself. Today, he was exceptionally challenging for defenders. The Champions League seems to be his element. I’m thrilled that he’s regained his form at such a crucial time.”
