Serhou Guirassy Celebrates 100 Matches for Dortmund

Serhou Guirassy needed a moment to take it in.

"I'm very, very happy to have played 100 matches for Dortmund. I didn't even know that," said the 30-year-old striker, still riding the adrenaline of another decisive night in black and yellow.

He arrived from VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2024. Just over two years later, he has crashed through the 100-game barrier for BVB – a landmark that speaks as much to his durability as to his ruthless edge in front of goal.

Against Villarreal CF, in a wild 3-2 home win, Guirassy added another layer to his fast-growing legend. Two more goals. Numbers 63 and 64 in a Dortmund shirt.

The figures are staggering. Only Erling Haaland has started faster in the club’s modern era, the Norwegian phenomenon racking up 86 goals in just 89 competitive appearances for the Black and Yellows. Lothar Emmerich once set the standard in the Bundesliga era with 64 goals in his first 100 league games for Borussia Dortmund. Guirassy now stands on that same mark across all competitions after his first century of matches.

Climbing the Champions League ladder

The night did more than just decorate his overall tally. It rewrote a piece of BVB’s Champions League history.

Guirassy stepped past Robert Lewandowski in the club’s all-time scoring list in Europe’s elite competition. The Polish striker hit 17 goals in 28 Champions League outings for Dortmund. Guirassy overtook him in his 25th game, striking his 18th and 19th goals on the biggest stage.

Only one name remains above him now: Marco Reus. The club icon leads the way with 24 Champions League goals in 72 appearances. The gap is shrinking.

"Of course, it's something very special to break Lewandowski's record, because he is a great striker," Guirassy told Prime, fully aware of the company he now keeps.

A crazy night, a clear verdict

For all the milestones, this was no smooth procession. Villarreal pushed, the game swung, and the scoreboard never felt safe.

"It was a strange match tonight," Guirassy admitted after the 3-2 victory. "A crazy game. We could have done better, but we're happy with the win."

A hundred games in, the numbers say he is already in historic territory. The question now is simple: how far up Dortmund’s record books can he climb before this chapter is done?
