Campbell was lively in his cameo, testing defenders with his skillful footwork and pace on the right side of the pitch. However, his youthfulness got the best of him at times, with Wolfsburg’s defense taking advantage of his inexperience in certain moments.
His introduction to the game did, however, bring a sense of excitement onto the pitch for the Black and Yellow. However, Wolfsburg’s late strike with minutes to spare in extra-time took all of the momentum Dortmund had in the match.
With the result, it was their fifth-straight loss on the road across all competitions for Sahin and Dortmund. Appointed manager of BVB in the summer, the ex-player is already feeling the heat on his managerial seat.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dortmund are five-time winners of the tournament, with their last victory coming in 2021. In 2017, U.S. international star Christian Pulisic earned his first professional trophy by winning the cup with BVB, as well.
