Serhou Guirassy Celebrates 100 Matches with Borussia Dortmund

Serhou Guirassy walked off the pitch to the noise of a crowd that probably knew more about his night than he did.

"I'm very, very happy to have played 100 matches for Dortmund. I didn't even know that," the 30-year-old striker admitted after Borussia Dortmund’s wild 3-2 home win over Villarreal CF. The milestone had crept up on him. His numbers have not.

Signed from VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2024, Guirassy has crammed those 100 competitive games into just over two years – a schedule that would break many forwards. He has thrived on it. The Villarreal victory brought goals number 63 and 64 in a BVB shirt, a return that underlines both his resilience and his ruthless edge in front of goal.

Only one man sits above him in Dortmund’s modern scoring pantheon. Erling Haaland remains out on his own with 86 goals from just 89 competitive appearances for the Black and Yellows, a benchmark that still looks otherworldly. Guirassy, though, now stands in illustrious company. Lothar Emmerich once struck 64 times in his first 100 Bundesliga matches for Borussia Dortmund; Guirassy has matched that landmark across all competitions in his first century of games.

Champions League climb: Guirassy passes Lewandowski

The Villarreal match did more than pad his overall tally. It rewrote a piece of the club’s Champions League history.

Guirassy’s brace took him past Robert Lewandowski in Dortmund’s internal ranking of top scorers in Europe’s premier competition. Lewandowski had set a formidable mark with 17 goals in 28 Champions League appearances for BVB. Guirassy needed only 25 games to move clear, hitting his 18th and 19th goals on the night.

Only Marco Reus now stands between him and top spot. The club icon has 24 Champions League goals from 72 matches, a total that once looked untouchable. It no longer does.

"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 calibre of the man he has just overtaken.

A chaotic night, a clear verdict

The match itself mirrored Dortmund’s recent European nights: open, breathless, and never entirely under control.

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

That mix of satisfaction and frustration summed up the evening. Dortmund survived, Guirassy delivered, and another record fell. The next question is obvious: how long before he chases down Reus as well?
