Guirassy has a G/A in all his Champions League 2024/25 appearances

Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund, in the midst of a difficult period that has seen them lose Nuri Sahin and also threatens to derail Niko Kovac's tenure at the helm, visit another club in the midst of a rollercoaster ride of emotions in 2024-25. Sporting Lisbon await the Bundesliga side in Lisbon and do so without the architect of this successful team, a Ruben Amorim who reaped the dividends of his work with his sudden departure for Manchester United.
Details will dictate the outcome of a tie in which, based on last season's performances, the Germans come into the tie with a slight edge. A Borussia Dortmund player, who was not in the 2023-24 but has adapted perfectly to the team, will be a differential factor in the match. The Signal Iduna Park outfit boasts the top scorer in this edition of the Champions League.
Serhou Guirassy has nine goals and leads the scoring charts, one goal ahead of Robert Lewandowski and one goal ahead of Raphinha, two ahead of Vinicius Junior and three ahead of, among others, Viktor Gyokeres, who also looks set to make things difficult for Dortmund at the Jose Alvalade.
Guirassy's Champions League form is spectacular and already makes him one of the best debutants in the competition. Not because he has made his debut this year, as he has already played 4 games for Rennes, but because of everything he has achieved in his first 12 games in the competition: the Guinean striker has scored 11 goals and provided 2 assists in them, which means that he averages more than one goal generated (1.08) per game since his debut.
In the 2024-25 season, Guirassy has achieved the feat of scoring or assisting in every game in the competition. Although the league phase has moved to eight matches, the Guinean has been involved in a goal for his team in all of them. He started with a penalty goal in Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 win over Brugge, scored twice in a 7-1 win over Celtic, assisted in a 5-2 defeat of Real Madrid and a 1-0 win over Sturm Graz, and has scored in the last four games: In the 0-3 win at Dinamo Zagreb (one goal), in the 2-3 defeat at Barca (brace, one from the penalty spot) and the 2-1 defeat at Bologna (penalty goal), and in the 3-1 win against Shakhtar Donetsk (brace).
To this near-perfect Champions League record, Guirassy added a goal for Rennes in a 2-1 defeat of Chelsea to take his tally to nine consecutive Champions League games scoring or assisting. No other player comes close to this flawless record, the closest being Antoine Griezmann with 5, followed by Julian Alvarez, Vinicius Junior and Santi Gimenez with 4. The Guinean striker's other goal came on his debut in the competition, against Krasnodar (1-1) and also for Rennes.
