One-man rollercoaster! Guirassy writes unprecedented Champions League history against Villarreal
Serhou Guirassy was at the absolute center of everything in a frantic European night.
Details: Borussia Dortmund forward Serhou Guirassy made Champions League history during yesterday evening's clash against Villarreal. The Guinean striker managed the extraordinary and bittersweet feat of scoring two goals for his own side while also deflecting an own goal into his team's net.
With this bizarre stat sheet, the 30-year-old goalscorer officially became the first and only player in the entire history of the UEFA Champions League to score both a brace and an own goal within a single fixture.
Guirassy's relentless offensive instinct proved decisive in creating constant danger in the opposition box, even though his unfortunate defensive mishap gave the Spanish visitors a lifeline during an enthralling contest.
It is worth noting that according to Transfermarkt, the 30-year-old Guinean striker's current market value is estimated at €40 million.
Reminder: MOURINHO SCORES IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!
