The return of Jadon Sancho - why the England star thrives at Dortmund but failed at Man Utd
Borussia Dortmund stunned European football on Wednesday night when the Bundesliga side overcame the odds to beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the first leg of their semi-final clash in the Champions League. Although the solitary goal came via an outstanding shot from striker Niclas Füllkrug, the star of the show was undoubtedly Jadon Sancho.
Whether it was through his dizzing dribbles, impressive through balls or simply his capacity to stay one step ahead of the opposition, the on-loan talent drove Edin Terzic's team on and helped them secure a famous victory. As such, in our latest video, we take a look at why Dortmund look so good in Europe this season, despite being utterly hopeless in the Bundesliga, and specifically why Sancho struggled to make an impression at Manchester United but is now enjoying a second, successful spell at Dortmund.
