Bitter adversaries to their core, a hotly contested Revierderby has long been one of the highlights of the German footballing calendar; just ask Youssoufa Moukoko.

The former Dortmund starlet and academy product is officially on his way to Danish stalwarts FC København after completing his move away from the Ruhr Valley.
Though his career with the German giants fell well short of expectations at the Westfalenstadion, Moukoko and fans alike can look back fondly on some key moments, including a goal against Die Königsblauen back in 2022.
On that day, the 17-year-old's leaping header in the 78th minute was the lone strike of the match at Dortmund's vaunted ground, with the German youth international rising above Maya Yashida to head Marius Wolf's whipped cross past Alexander Schwolow.

Moukoko would go on to score seven Bundesliga goals that season; a career-best. And though he never hit the heights so many hoped he would, everybody loves a late bloomer.

How Jamal Musiala's injury could also end up hurting Barcelona
How Jamal Musiala's injury could also end up hurting Barcelona Bayern Munich have been dealt a massive blow with the news that their young star Jamal Musiala has broken his ankle during their FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain. Official reports confirm that Musiala will be out for around 4-5 months, which means he is set to miss most of the first half of the 2025/26 season. Advertisement This injury comes as a big setback for Bayern, who were already struggling to secure attacking midfield reinforcements after failing to sign Florian Wirtz. Fermin interests Bayern Munich With Musiala sidelined, Bayern are expected to explore the market for a suitable replacement, and one of the names that has popped up is Barcelona's talented midfielder Fermin Lopez. The 21-year-old has impressed many with his performances at Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are reportedly big admirers of his qualities. His contract with Barcelona runs until 2027, and his price is said to be between €50 and €70 million, a sum Bayern could easily afford if they decide to make a serious move. Advertisement Barcelona's dilemma: keep or sell Bayern have shown interest in signing Fermin Lopez. (Photo by) At Barcelona, manager Hansi Flick considers Fermin an important part of his plans and does not want the youngster to leave. The Catalan side already has intense competition in midfield, and Fermin knows he must fight for his place. Despite this, the possibility of a lucrative offer from Bayern Munich could tempt Barcelona into considering a sale, especially given the club's ongoing financial issues. Selling Fermin could bring in much-needed funds to help Barcelona strengthen other areas of the squad. Advertisement A good sale for sporting reasons For instance, after missing out on Nico Williams, the club is still actively looking for the right player to add to their attack, particularly someone who can operate as a left-winger. If their financial situation were better, Barcelona would have already made moves to secure new talent. Therefore, an attractive bid from Bayern for Fermin could play a key role in Barcelona's summer transfer plans and help them address their pressing needs on the flanks. In any case, losing Fermin would mean losing a versatile asset as he has always given his 100% for the team ever since making his debut.

🔥 Clinical Real reach semis: Guler genius, top stats for Garcia!🔝
The field has spoken: it is Real Madrid, thanks to their 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund, that becomes the fourth semifinalist of the Club World Cup. A victory achieved at the end of a well-managed 90 minutes, but with an absolutely crazy finale. After a dangerous start by the Germans with Brandt close to scoring, Real took control: in the 10th minute, Gonzalo Garcia opened the scoring with a splendid strike assisted by Arda Güler. Advertisement Ten minutes later, Fran Garcia doubled the lead, this time served by Alexander-Arnold. In the second half, Dortmund changed their approach with three substitutions and found more offensive brilliance. Beier reduced the deficit in the 93rd minute, but Mbappé immediately responded with a masterpiece overhead kick. Guirassy made it 3-2 with a penalty (red card for Huijsen), and only a miraculous save by Courtois on Sabitzer avoided extra time. Real advances to the semifinals, where they will face PSG. 🎯 Arda Güler, the brain and genius of the white midfield He was the true beacon of Real Madrid's play: Arda Güler delivered a textbook performance against Borussia Dortmund, earning the title of Player of the Match. The Turkish talent recorded 78 touches, 2 assists, 2/3 accurate crosses, 2/2 successful long balls, and an incredible 95.5% passing accuracy (65 out of 68). He completed 9 passes in the offensive third, took 3 shots, won 2 tackles, and recovered possession twice, in addition to creating 2 great chances. A complete performance, full of intelligence, rhythm, and personality, which broke the game open and confirmed his impact in major events. 📊 Real clinical and lethal: the numbers say it all At the end of a very tight match, Real Madrid was able to assert their efficiency in front of goal. Los Blancos finished with 15 total shots, 8 on target, compared to the Germans' 12 (5 on target). The ability to create real threats was decisive: 5 big chances created against Dortmund's single one. The data on touches in the area is interesting: 21 for Real, 25 for Dortmund, demonstrating how Kovac's team pushed at the end. Ball possession was almost balanced (49% to 51%), but it is Real, with their third victory over Dortmund in just over a year, that flies to the Club World Cup semifinals. 🚀 Gonzalo Garcia: Golden Boot numbers of the tournament With the goal in the 10th minute against Dortmund, Gonzalo García has reached 4 goals in 5 appearances in the Club World Cup, joining Angel Di Maria and Marcos Leonardo at the top of the scorers' list. At 21 years old, the young Real forward is strongly positioning himself for the top scorer title and, why not, the Golden Boot of the tournament. But there's more: García is the only player to have scored or assisted in all of Real's matches in this edition (4 goals, 1 assist). A frightening consistency for a player who, match after match, is leading Los Blancos towards the world title. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
