For a few weeks Borussia Dortmund’s problem has clearly been confidence, but that won’t have been helped by the remarkable 4-4 draw with Schalke
The 151st Revierderby was, and will continue to be, notable for a number of reasons. Perhaps chief among them was that it was that rarest of sights; a match which leaves both sides shell-shocked at the final whistle.
“This derby will go down in history,” said Schalke’s Amine Harit, who scored the team’s second goal. It was just that, a moment to say in the future “I was there”, to always be remembered. Franco Di Santo grabbed his phone to take a commemorative selfie with Naldo, who scored the equaliser, and skipper Ralf Fährmann. The defender, who sparked scenes of incredulous celebration by scoring the stoppage-time leveller, netted a similarly emphatic header in the same north-end goal just under three years ago, which salvaged a late point for Wolfsburg in Jürgen Klopp’s tricky final season. This, however, was different.
