Haaland restored to factory settings?
How many times sancho missed his passes...?
Dortmund should swap reus with haaland for taking penalty. Sometimes we can predict where he going to shoot it , I thought it going to be saved ,but strange..
@nithinbvb Reus has a success rate of 7/11 in penalties. He should definitely not take penalties anymore.
@neumi17 he should not
Dortmund are biggest fixers in Bundesliga .
@footballover imagine honestly believing it
MAinz to upset and win
@MorrisBuck88 You are really quick. Only seconds after they scored you posted this. However I still believe Dortmund is gonna win.
Draw
Haaland hat-trick
