10 of Marco Reus' best moments at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK

15,182 minutes – that's 10 and a half days. Marco Reus has spent a long time on the pitch at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK during his playing career. He will make his final appearance (for now) in his living room on Saturday and leave the club after 12 years as a first-team player. Time to look back at 10 of Reus' best moments at the world's most beautiful stadium.

24 August 2012: First BVB goal at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK

Marco Reus scored his first goal in a Black & Yellow shirt in the first Bundesliga match following his transfer from Borussia Mönchengladbach to BVB: there were only 11 minutes on the clock when he left Werder Bremen goalkeeper Sebastian Mielitz with no chance and his placed effort hit the net. It was the first of his 99 goals for BVB at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK to date (169 goals in total). BVB ran out 2-1 winners in that match.

 

29 September 2012: First brace at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK

Reus was on target twice in his first game against former club Gladbach on home turf. His goals to make it 1-0 (35) and 3-0 (70) paved the way for a 5-0 victory against the Foals.

 

16 February 2013: First hat-trick at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK

Three goals in one game in front of the home faithful – Reus also managed that in his first BVB season. His goals (8, 9, 65) helped to secure a 3-0 home victory for Borussia and dispatch the visitors from Frankfurt single-handedly. At the end of his first Bundesliga campaign in Dortmund, Reus had an impressive tally of 14 goals and 11 assists to his name.

 

9 April 2013: A goal back against Malaga

Those minutes are a piece of Dortmund's club history. No BVB supporter will ever forget the comeback against Malaga in stoppage time. Amid a scramble, Marco Reus scored to level the scores at 2-2 in the first minute of stoppage time before Felipe Santana sent SIGNAL IDUNA PARK into ecstasy with the decisive goal to make it 3-2 (90+2).

13 February 2015: 4-2 victory over Mainz after contract extension

A wanted player at the time, the then 25-year-old made a remarkable statement: Reus extended with BVB until 2019 despite Borussia being in 16th place in the table at the time. The stadium was already exuberantly celebrating the extension before the game and the 4-2 win over Mainz 05 – including a Reus goal (55) – made it a perfect evening. BVB managed to qualify for the Europa League at the end of the season.

 

26 August 2018: 100th Bundesliga goal 

Reus scored his 100th Bundesliga goal on the first day of the 2018/19 season. He rounded off the scoring in a 4-1 victory against Leipzig with a goal in the first minute of stoppage time.

 

10 November 2018: Brace in a 3-2 victory against FC Bayern

The Black & Yellows claimed an exhilarating win in their top match against FC Bayern. BVB twice fell behind and the now 34-year-old restored parity on two occasions (49, 67). Paco Alcacer then scored in the 73rd minute to seal a 3-2 victory.

20 February 2022: Five goal involvements against Gladbach

Reus scored 11 goals in total for BVB against his ex-club Borussia Mönchengladbach. In the 6-0 win in 2022, he assisted three goals and also got himself on the scoresheet twice (26, 81).

 

18 March 2023: 150th Bundesliga goal 

Borussia's No. 11 was also on target two times against 1. FC Köln last season (32, 70). Reus notched his 150th Bundesliga goal in the process. As of today, he has since added five more goals. With 169 goals for Borussia Dortmund in total, the Dortmund native occupies second spot on the club's all-time record goalscorer list behind Adi Preißler (177).

 

4 November 2023: 400th Bundesliga game

More pleasing than the result of the match against FC Bayern (4-0 defeat) was the reason for the tribute paid before the game: Marco Reus was presented with an award at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK by Hans-Joachim Watzke (Chairman of the Board of Management), Carsten Cramer (BVB Managing Director) and Sebastian Kehl (BVB Sporting Director) for reaching 400 appearances in Black & Yellow. With 427 BVB matches to his name, Reus is now fourth on the list of all-time record appearance-makers. (jb)
