Borussia Dortmund secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach, showcasing resilience and determination in a pulsating Bundesliga encounter.
The result, celebrated by the club's sporting director Sebastian Kehl and young full-back Daniel Svensson, marked a significant moment in Dortmund's campaign.
Kehl, speaking in the mixed zone post-match, lauded the team's grit after enduring back-to-back intense schedules. "The lads have faced two â˜English weeks' consecutively and still delivered a top performance," he said.
"They fought until the final whistle, covered more ground, and dominated possession. We could've made it easier, but this win feels massive, especially with other results going our way."
The 45-year-old highlighted Dortmund's evolution, noting, "Earlier this season, we might have drawn games like this. Today, the boys showed they have the character to close it out."
For Svensson, the day was unforgettable. The 23-year-old Swedish defender, who scored Dortmund's third goal, his first for the club, beamed with pride. "Playing for Dortmund is a dream," he said.
"To score in front of these fans, it's unreal. The emotion is overwhelming. Funnily enough, my first goal at my old club was a header too."
Recent updates from Dortmund's official X account underscored the team's momentum, with a post stating, "Another big win at home! The Yellow Wall was electric today. #BVB keep pushing forward!" Meanwhile, Kehl's comments on X echoed his press remarks, praising the squad's "heart and hunger" in securing the three points.
The victory strengthens Dortmund's position in the Bundesliga race, with Svensson's emergence and the team's fighting spirit signaling their intent to compete at the highest level.
