Borussia Dortmund, a perennial powerhouse in German football, faced off against Darmstadt, a team often battling to stay in the Bundesliga, twice during the 2023-2024 season. But rather than looking at a single game, we’re going to examine two of them: one from earlier in the season (January 2024) and one from the season’s end (May 2024).
Why? Because each match held its own unique significance. The first marked the return of Jadon Sancho to Dortmund, while the second served as a farewell to Dortmund legend Marco Reus. Let’s dive into a comparison of these two games and highlight the key moments that defined these Dortmund vs Darmstadt encounters.
