🤯 It had to happen: Moukoko celebrates after scoring against Dortmund

He was probably BVB’s greatest talent of the last decade. But the fairytale story of Youssoufa Moukoko at Borussia Dortmund had recently become unsatisfactory for all parties, leading to several loan spells for the striker.

By now, Moukoko is playing permanently for today’s BVB opponent, Copenhagen, and things aren’t going particularly well there either, just as they didn’t in Nice. However, today he seems to be motivated, as he is putting in what is probably his best performance of the season and was also crucial in the Danes’ equalizer against Borussia.

His first-time shot after a corner turned into a pinball and, after a few deflections and off Anton’s calf, ended up in the net. His exuberant goal celebration afterwards was also telling. There may have been a bit of extra satisfaction in it.

Towards BVB , but also towards his own coach at Copenhagen. Jacob Neestrup recently explained Moukoko’s role as a substitute on "Viaplay" in a matter-of-fact way: "I play with the best players, and that’s why he hasn’t played!" – a statement that hits deeper than any spot on the bench.
