🎥 Looking back on Moukoko's Revierderby goal as Dortmund bids farewell
Among continental rivalries, there are few better - and more heated - than Dortmund vs Schalke. 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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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. 📸 Lars Baron - 2022 Getty Images
