BVB support "Lilly’s Dream"

For years, Borussia Dortmund have been committed to addressing the issues faced by people with disabilities or impairments. We see our work on inclusion as an important part of our club philosophy. The aim is always to enable more people to participate in society. During the last Bundesliga home match against 1. FSV Mainz 05, it was therefore a great pleasure and a labour of love to welcome 17-year-old Lilly Fritz to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. The encounter was organised by the BVB foundation "leuchte auf".

Lilly has been suffering from infantile cerebral palsy (ICP) since birth and is confined to a wheelchair. She has also been in chronic pain for many years and has to take painkillers daily. In conjunction with the non-profit organisation MainLichtblick e.V. and the German Disabled Sports Association, Lilly's big dream is to raise awareness and acceptance among the general public for people with disabilities, which she is pursuing as part of the "Lilly's Dream" project.

Borussia Dortmund are also supporting this project: After the game against Mainz, BVB captain Emre Can presented a home jersey signed by the team, which will be auctioned off for a good cause and in favour of people affected, such as Lilly. Nico Schlotterbeck and Maxi Beier also took a lot of time to talk after the final whistle.

We\u2019re not finished yet as we\u2019ve still got a few points to pick up, and that\u2019s what we want to do.\u201d<\/p>\nThe team is showing hunger, even if Saturday\u2019s performance in Stuttgart wasn\u2019t what fans, officials and players had expected. After the 14-day international break, Gregor Kobel suggested one possible reason: \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s down to the international break, where you play different systems and need a bit of time to settle back in here.\u201d The keeper said he was delighted with the two late goals: \u201cWe knew they were vulnerable to counter-attacks.\u201d Karim Adeyemi (90+4) and Julian Brandt (90+6) struck in the closing minutes as VfB had all their attacking players on the pitch and went all out.  <\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/04/05/bl-nachbericht/20-Stuttgart.jpg\" data-assetref=\"20-Stuttgart-1775379481992\"><\/p>\n\u201cThat sucker punch could have gone either way,\u201d said Marcel Sabitzer, adding: \u201cWe defended with real passion. And then we played two good counter-attacks and scored some fine goals. It was a bit lucky, but we\u2019re happy to take it in the end.\u201d Kobel put it in similar terms: \u201cWe took our chances ruthlessly. In the end, it\u2019s three points away from home against a very good opponent in a difficult match.\u201d<\/p>\nJulian Brandt was delighted with the spark the substitutes brought to the game. \u201cKarim scores the goal as a substitute, I score my goal as a substitute and Fabio provides an assist as a substitute.\u201d 14 of the 60 goals this season \u2013 almost one in four \u2013 have been scored by substitutes. No other team comes anywhere near this figure. Sabitzer summed it up: \u201cIf you run a lot and tire the opposition out, you need a few fresh legs coming on. And we have that quality.\u201d \nBoris Rupert<\/i><\/p>\n<a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/4/4/BVB-win-2-0-at-VfB-Adeyemi-and-Brandt-score-in-added-time.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Match report: Black & Yellows win 2-0 in Swabia<\/a><\/p>\n<a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/4/4/Facts-club-record-historic-run-best-team-since-the-winter-break.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facts: club record and historic run<\/a><\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-4313265134","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"The late, late show in Stuttgart","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":true,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","html":"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2025_2026/22/2569292_28_vfb_stuttgart-borussiadortmund<\/p>","title":"Related Match","multiValue":false,"value":"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2025_2026/22/2569292_28_vfb_stuttgart-borussiadortmund","exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":"-412836260","exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in news wall on homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.
