Sancho’s triumphant journey leaves Manchester United ruing missed opportunities: With just six matches, he ascended to the finals of the C1 Cup, achieving a 13-year milestone, all thanks to his stellar performance on the field.
Jadon Sancho is one of Dortmund’s most notable stars in the Champions League semi-final second leg against PSG.
Although he did not contribute any goals or assists, the English player still showed his influence in the German team’s playing style by making 38 touches of the ball, 6 dribbles (3 successful times), 8 duels (4 wins). Notably, he is also the first player to have more than 25 dribbles in the 2023/24 Champions League knockout round.
Sancho is the first MU player to play in the Champions League final after 13 years
In the end, Dortmund and Sancho defeated PSG 1-0, thereby officially winning a ticket to the Champions League final with a total score of 2-0 after 2 matches.
Since leaving MU to return to Dortmund on loan during the winter transfer period, Sancho is gradually finding his peak form with 3 goals and 2 assists after 18 matches in all competitions. This achievement is completely opposite to what he showed in the first leg in the “Red Devils” shirt (3 matches, 0 goals, 0 assists).
In the Champions League alone, Sancho made 6 appearances (scoring 1 goal), including an excellent performance in the first leg of the semi-finals and received the “Best Player of the Match” award.
According to statistics, Sancho became the first MU player to play in the Champions League final since 2011. More significantly, just one day before Sancho achieved this feat, MU shockingly lost to Crystal Palace 0- 4 in round 36 of the Premier League.
Sancho revived after leaving MU
Fans once expected that Sancho could have a place at MU next season. However, according to reporter Patrick Berger (Sky Sports Germany), the star born in 2000 feels happy playing for Dortmund and does not want to return to Old Trafford . Dortmund is also ready to find a plan to borrow Sancho for another season with a buyout clause.
