Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund trio Gio Reyna, Sebastien Haller and Karim Adeyemi spoke to 'Goal', discussing their top-rated moments and players. All three rated their home ground, the Signal Iduna Park, as the best stadium, as the German side is known for its dedicated fanbase and electric atmosphere.
They weren't so unanimous when it came to players on the pitch. Asked about the hardest players they've faced, Haller cited "top player" Kevin De Bruyne, whereas Adeyemi believed it to be Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.
For Reyna, it was Neymar: "One of the best players of the generation I grew up watching. If it wasn't for Messi and Ronaldo he probably would have had a few Ballon d'Ors".
Another question that divided the stars was the best player they've played with. Dortmund have produced some big stars over the years, with some making headline transfers in recent seasons, and it was another that divided the players.
Haller backed Jude Bellingham, "the one who will go farthest in his career" following his €100 million-euro move to Real Madrid. For Reyna, the top pick was Erling Haaland, who stunned in his debut Premier League season with Manchester City, smashing records left, right and centre as he helped his team to treble glory. The American believes his actions speak louder than any explanation.
As for Adeyemi, he kept it closer to home, naming German legends Marco Reus and Thomas Muller, for their calm and "really good" technique on the pitch.
