Serhou Guirassy Reaches 100 Matches for Dortmund with Milestone Goals

Serhou Guirassy walked off the pitch with the match ball in his hands and a milestone at his back, only half aware of what he had just ticked off.

"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. It suits his story: head down, goals up, records falling almost by accident.

Guirassy arrived from VfB Stuttgart in the summer of 2024. Just over two years later, he has raced to 100 competitive appearances for BVB – a figure that underlines not only his durability, but also the relentlessness of his finishing. Against Villarreal, he buried goals number 63 and 64 in a Dortmund shirt, numbers that place him in rarefied company.

Only Erling Haaland sits ahead of him in that early BVB scoring pace. The Norwegian phenomenon produced 86 goals in 89 competitive games for the Black and Yellows, a benchmark that still feels untouchable. Lothar Emmerich, another club great, struck 64 times in his first 100 Bundesliga outings for Dortmund. Guirassy has now matched that figure across all competitions in his first century of games, underlining how quickly he has written himself into the club’s modern history.

The Villarreal thriller did more than just decorate his 100th appearance. It also nudged him past one of Europe’s most feared No. 9s in the Champions League record books.

Only Reus ahead of Guirassy in Europe

On the continental stage, Guirassy’s numbers are beginning to look imposing. His brace against Villarreal in what was his 25th Champions League match for BVB took him to 18 and then 19 goals in the competition for the club. That haul moves him beyond Robert Lewandowski in Dortmund’s internal Champions League scoring chart. The Pole had struck 17 times in 28 games for BVB in Europe’s elite tournament.

"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.

Only Marco Reus now stands between him and top spot. The club icon leads the way with 24 Champions League goals in 72 appearances for Dortmund. At Guirassy’s current strike rate, that gap suddenly looks less like a distant dream and more like an imminent target.

The night itself was anything but straightforward. Dortmund and Villarreal traded blows in a game that swung wildly. Defensively, BVB left space, invited pressure and lived dangerously. Guirassy, as so often, provided the cold edge in the chaos.

"It was a strange match tonight," he reflected. "A crazy game. We could have done better, but we're happy with the win."

A 100th game, two more goals, one club legend matched, another overtaken, and Reus now in his sights. Guirassy’s numbers keep climbing. The only real question is how many records will be left standing by the time he is done in black and yellow.
