Borussia Dortmund won against Heidenheim (2-0) on Saturday, thanks in particular to a new flash by Serhou Guirassy. The Guinean striker has further found the net, signing his sixth goal in as many matches in all competitions since the start of the season. A return that confirms the excellent form of a player who is now essential in the Niko Kovac workforce.
Guirassy, a historic Bundesliga series
This new goal allows Guirassy to extend an impressive series: he scored during his last eight appearances in the Bundesliga. Among the foreign players in the championship, only Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (10 games) and Robert Lewandowski (15) have already done better in history. Now quoted in the same sentence as these monuments, Guirassy is installed in a category reserved for the biggest scorers.
Since the start of the 2025-2026 season, he has displayed disconcerting regularity: scorer against RW Essen, in St. Pauli, double scorer against the Berlin Union, decisive with Guinea against Somalia and still decisive this weekend with Dortmund. Only Algeria managed to stop its series in selection. In club, it remains irresistible, to the point of having scored 43 goals since the start of the past season, all competitions combined.
A reinforced Ballon d'Or candidacy
Its presence among the 30 nominees for the Ballon d'Or is therefore no coincidence. Its clinical efficiency, its power in the surface and its ability to respond to this match after match plead in its favor. Guirassy today embodies the prototype of the modern center-center, capable of alone carrying the offensive weight of a team like Dortmund.
With such figures, Guirassy redefines the hierarchy of Guinean football. For a long time, the names of Titi Camara or Kaba Diawara were cited like the offensive references of the selection. From now on, the former Rennais establishes himself as an icon in the making, and some could soon affirm that he is already the largest center center in the history of his country.
