A Champions League final at Wembley holds great significance for numerous individuals connected to Borussia Dortmund. In 2013, Marco Reus and Mats Hummels were involved in their loss to Bayern Munich. The manager, Edin Terzic, was a fan in London.
One member of the Dortmund team hoping for a better result against Real Madrid on Saturday feels somewhat differently about the venue. Jadon Sancho’s performance at Wembley was not to be disappointed. That night, everything was different. In the 120th minute of England’s European Championship match against Italy, Sancho was substituted by Gareth Southgate in order to attempt a penalty. His team lost, his shot was saved, and in the aftermath, he endured abhorrent racist taunts.
His £73 million transfer to Manchester United was confirmed in just 12 days. After 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 appearances for Dortmund, he came as maybe the most exciting young prospect in European football. He was only twenty-one years old.
Since then, circumstances have combined to ensure that, even if he has earned the right to leave Wembley in the biggest club football match in Europe, he does so after losing his spot in the England squad a long time ago. He is currently back on loan at Dortmund rather than at United. What transpired in the interim is a story that varies depending on who you speak to. Sancho was seen by some as a victim of the United’s woes. Anticipated to show there and give it his all, he discovered an unstructured team and an atmosphere that did not support his growth.
Those slaloming runs from deep, Sancho had never been a soloist. He had full-backs overlapping to create space and a center-forward ready to trade passes and offer movement when he was at Dortmund. Give him the ball and wait was the United way. Some would bring up discussions about his tardiness prior to his arrival, hinting at a dubious disposition. Sancho retaliated, declined to apologize, and was cut from the team by Erik ten Hag due to his performance on the training field.
As he departed Liverpool, former Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp made reference to how amazing it still is. “Like other teams did, by the way, I cannot just buy into that ‘he is useless’ crap,” he declared. “Sending a player out on loan after purchasing him for £80 million!” However, whatever the circumstances may indicate about United, they did not bode well for Sancho, and something had to be done. It appears that Dortmund was the ideal location to supply one. Upon his return to Germany, he cut a new figure instantly. “I call Stuttgart home,” he said.
