Dortmund Dominance: 4-0 rout of Villarreal recalled
8 Sep
Summary
- Dortmund secured a commanding 4-0 victory over Villarreal last season.
- Villarreal lost their final six Champions League group stage matches.
- Guirassy has netted 17 goals and assisted 7 in 24 UCL appearances.
Borussia Dortmund secured a decisive 4-0 victory against Villarreal at home last season, their second-highest expected goals (xG) total for the 2025-26 campaign. This impressive performance highlights Dortmund's strength at home in the UEFA Champions League, with only two losses in their last 23 matches.
Villarreal's recent Champions League form has been starkly different. The Spanish side suffered a six-match losing streak in the group stage last season, their longest in major European competition. Furthermore, they have lost their last five away Champions League games without finding the net.
Individually, Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy has been a prolific scorer, directly contributing to 24 goals in 24 UEFA Champions League appearances over the past two seasons. His impressive tally includes 17 goals and 7 assists, placing him among the top performers in the competition during that period.
Villarreal's offensive struggles are highlighted by Nicolas Pepe's record last season, where he had 19 shots without scoring, the most for any player failing to find the net despite a significant xG of 1.57.
