Jadon Sancho expressed his appreciation to Dortmund for having faith in him as they advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Jadon Sancho, the talented winger from Borussia Dortmund, was in high spirits as he celebrated his team’s victory in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg match against PSV Eindhoven. Sancho’s goal in the third minute set the tone for the game and helped secure a 3-1 aggregate victory for his side.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Sancho expressed his relief and gratitude for the goal, stating that all players aim for a good start to the game. This goal held special significance for Sancho as it marked his first goal at Signal Iduna Park since his return to Germany. After much speculation about a potential move to Old Trafford, Sancho was rescued by Dortmund, who offered him a loan return to the club where he made a name for himself.

During his initial spell with Dortmund, Sancho scored an impressive 50 goals in 137 appearances between 2017 and 2021. However, his form dipped after joining Manchester United for a reported fee of £73m. Now back with Dortmund, Sancho is playing with renewed confidence and joy. His goal against Werder Bremen over the weekend provided a much-needed boost, and his goal against PSV further solidified his return to form.

Sancho’s celebration, where he thumped the club badge on his shirt, showcased his deep appreciation for Borussia Dortmund and the belief his teammates have shown in him. Reflecting on the match, Sancho acknowledged the tough challenge they faced against PSV but felt confident due to the advantage of playing in front of their home fans. He praised the team’s commitment to their game plan from the beginning to the end of the match, emphasizing their determination and unity.

Ultimately, Sancho expressed his happiness at securing the win and his gratitude towards Borussia Dortmund for giving him the opportunity to shine once again.
