Marco Reus - 278.33 Performance Pts
Born: 31/05/1989 Dortmund, Germany
Position: Forward Height: 1.80m Weight: 75kg
A 12-year spell with Borussia Dortmund, his hometown club, was
where Reus made his mark, and he reached two Champions League finals (both
played at Wembley) whilst with the club. Bayern Munich (in 2013) and Real
Madrid (in 2024) denied him winner’s medals under the famous arch. He did pick
up a couple of DFB-Pokal winner’s medals though, in 2017 and 2021, scoring in
the semi-final during both of Dortmund’s successful cup campaigns. Despite a
long and successful career, Reus must feel like one of football’s nearly men.
Dortmund were Bundesliga champions in 2012 (whilst Reus was still playing for
Borussia Monchengladbach). The following season, Reus’s first with the club,
saw them finish runners-up, which happened on six more occasions whilst Reus
was in the yellow and black. 2013 must rankle most of all, since Bayern Munich
pipped them to both Bundesliga and Champions League titles. Similar misfortune
befell him at international level. First capped whilst at Monchengladbach, Reus
suffered injury prior to the 2014 World Cup, where Germany lifted the trophy in
his absence. He ended up with 48 caps but didn’t come close to winning any
international silverware. Following the Wembley defeat to Real Madrid, Reus
signed off his Dortmund career, and joined LA Galaxy.
