A Beier-led Performance
The absence of Serhou Guirassy did not hold it back. The called-up-to-lead-the-attack Maximilian Beier made the most of his chance. A confident Beier, fresh from good displays for the U-21 national team, needed only seven minutes to capitalize on a great assist from Ramy Bensebaini and slotted the first goal clinically. That goal wasn't just the start of a commanding win but also a testament to the depth and versatility of Nuri Şahin's squad.
Şahin didn't hide his satisfaction: "Serhou's absence is something we've learned to handle this season. Maxi did a fantastic job today, and the way we played gives me a lot of confidence for the future."
Stunning Goals and Rising Talent
If the first set the tone, the following three cemented the team's confidence. The lead was doubled before halftime through Felix Nmecha with a long-range strike that showed his skill and vision. Fresh from scoring for the German national team earlier in the week, the midfielder brought such confidence back to Dortmund.
The third goal, delivered by Julian Brandt, was a masterclass of precision as his free kick sailed over the wall and gave no chance to the keeper, underlining Dortmund's superiority. Jamie Gittens then sealed it by beating defenders at will before finding the corner of the net with pinpoint accuracy.
The Bayern Munich Challenge
Next up is a more significant challenge, though. The clash with Bayern Munich represents the type of fixture that can define a season. Given their home form, they know that the opportunity to go down in history awaits them. Beating Bayern is crucial if they want to stay in the title race.
Once again, Signal Iduna Park will serve as their fortress. Knowing this, Dortmund steps onto the field with the fans behind them. The confidence from six straight victories should be enough to face any opponent, even their fiercest rival.
