Marked by injuries and idolatry of few titles in his career, Marco Reus is adored by Signal Iduna Park fans and seeks greater glory
You don’t always need a shelf with countless titles to win the hearts of a fan. Marco Reus redefined the idol-fan relationship to explain why the 34-year-old midfielder is adored in the Signal Iduna Park by fans of Borussia Dortmund without even having managed to win relevant cups like the Bundesliga and the Champions League in the 12 seasons in which he wore yellow and black. At least, until now.
In his last match with the Borussia Dortmund shirt, this coming Saturday, 1, in the Champions League final against Real MadridReus will have the chance to deliver the greatest farewell gift, corresponding to the amount of affection that the German club’s fans have for him. “Dortmund means everything to me. When you play for a team for 12 years, it has to mean something. You don’t stay at the club just for the money, you need to feel comfortable, build a good environment and have great teammates. The fans play an important role too, they are one of the main reasons I stayed so long. I always felt needed here”said the player.
“There could be nothing better than playing your last game for the club in a Champions League final and winning the title. It all started with a final at Wembley in 2013 and will end with another in 2024.”, added Reus. Born in Dortmund, the athlete is a child of the club’s youth divisions, where he started at the age of seven and stayed until he was 17. As a professional, he started at Rot Weiss Ahlen. The player only reunited with Borussia in 2012, after spending three seasons at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
