Players to watch in Borussia Dortmund
Serhou Guirassy
Guirassy was the joint top scorer of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 season with 13 goals. Since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2024 from VfB Stuttgart, he has established himself as one of the most prominent strikers on the team in Europe. Serhou Guirassy is a very intelligent striker with strong aerial and physical robustness.
Jobe Bellingham
After a great season and helping Sunderland get promotion in the Premier League, Jode has just joined Dortmund in the special transfer window of the FIFA Club World Cup.
He will most likely start the game along with Felix Nmecha and Julian Brandt in the midfield and make his debut. Jode can control the game and provide the line-breaking passes when necessary.
Karim Adeyemi
With the fiery pace that he has, Karim Adeyemi is a nightmare for the defenders. This is going to be his third season with the German side Borussia Dortmund.
Karim Adeyemi rotates a lot in the frontline and can play on either of the wings, which surely has helped him to contribute to the team in any way he can.

Thiago Silva
When we talk about one of the legendary defenders in football, Thiago Silva is one of the names that crosses the minds of every fan. We should surely not go by his age, as Silva still has to stop all the top forwards in the game.
He has played for a lot of big European teams before joining his boyhood club; the teams are Juventus, Chelsea, AC Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain.
German Cano
The 37-year-old striker has scored 14 goals this season in 23 matches that he has played. German Cano has played more than 190 matches for Fluminense and has scored more than a hundred goals for the Brazilian side.
His experience will be much needed when they come up against a big club, and he understands the game very well.
Jhon Arias
The Colombian international can play as an attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He joined the Fluminense side in 2021 on a four-year deal. John Arias was one of the key players for his team in the 023 Copa Libertadores title win. The main highlight of the game is that he is the link between the midfielders and the attackers.
