Andrej Kramarić’s outstanding technical ability is well known. The Croatian provided a further demonstration of his finesse in the 84th minute of the match away to VfL Bochum, when he plucked a long ball from Florian Grillitsch out of the air and then dinked the ball over the keeper to make it 3-2.

The midfielder has been playing for Union since 2016, finally making the leap to the first team this season, but the young Berliner had already trained with them during his time in the U19s where he had become an integral part of the squad. Kemlein made his debut on the first day of the 2023/24 season against 1. FSV Mainz 05, coming on as a substitute in the closing stages. The 19-year-old also picked up further minutes in the following matches against Darmstadt and memorably in the UEFA Champions League against Real Madrid.

Since then, Bayern have worked out an agreement with the Blues and brought in 36-year-old Anthony Barry. So without further ado, let’s meet our next interim manager.

“The best and most important goal was definitely our first goal on the final day of the 2019/20 season in Dortmund, when we won 4-0 and I scored all four goals. It was really important for us to win that game to qualify for the Europa League. We knew we had to get three points and that’s exactly how we performed. We knew what we had to do and showed this attitude and put them under pressure from the very first minute.”

“Keita’s wish for the loan with the likelihood of a full return to Japan is the right solution for all sides,” commented Union’s director of professional football, Oliver Ruhnert, on the deal. “FC Tokyo are getting a highly motivated player, and we have been offered a very good option in both economic and sporting terms. Unfortunately, he didn’t make the final breakthrough in Germany, but Keita always remained positive. We wish him all the best for his future.”

Sebastian Kehl on the situation after the Gladbach game:
“We won a match and were successful in the league again. That was an important step for us at the weekend. Now there is great excitement for the game on Tuesday. We’ve earned ourselves the right to go to Milan as the leaders in this group. But we know that we have a tough task ahead of us.”

For star midfielder Joshua Kimmich, it was just a matter of taking care of business.

Going into the fifth round of fixtures, Borussia Dortmund sit atop a stacked Group F, ahead of Paris St. Germain, AC Milan and Newcastle United. Back-to-back wins over Newcastle have been enough to push the Black & Yellows to the top of the standings, meaning their hopes of qualifying for the Round of 16 are in their own hands. In fact, three points away in Milan would be enough to secure a place in the knock-out stage with a game to spare. “We’ve worked our way into a good position, top of the group after four games,’’ said BVB coach Edin Terzic as he reflected on the tight battle in the group, in which all of the four teams could still end up finishing in either top or bottom place. “All four teams can still qualify, but we are right at the top. We can reach ten points if we get a win, which won’t be easy, but is definitely possible. We will do all we can to travel home as winners and book our place in the next round. That’s our goal.” 

The players shared in the joy, too.
