Indeed, 1909 marked the birth of a remarkable entity in the world of football. Borussia Dortmund made their appearance and ever since, they've called Signal Iduna Park, sitting proudly in Deutschland, their home turf. Their fierce performances and tactical prowess have been reverberating within these hallowed precincts for well over a century.
Accoording to Transfermarkt, the market value of the lads in black and yellow, at least the 23 members of the Borussia Dortmund's playing squad, clock up a rather striking market value of approximately £362m. A striking testament to the team's impassioned recruitment strategy and respectable financial backing.
Borussia Dortmund's mean squad age falls perfectly in the mid-20s, at 25 to be precise. Not too much youth that inexperience becomes a hindrance, and not too much age that physical endurance wanes significantly – the perfect cocktail that produces a promising base for potential.
The current football season has seen the team take part in a number of competitions. They graced the Bundesliga and landed themselves in the 10th spot. They tested their mettle in the DFB-Pokal, where their journey ended in the second round. In the Club World Cup, they competed in Group F and the Champions League elevated them till the quarter-finals. Clear signs of a team that's not afraid to juggle multiple competitions simultaneously, it would seem.
Still, it looks as though Borussia Dortmund aren't ready yet to bask in their glories, if any. Always striving for more, unceasingly craving improvement, and perpetually hungry for victory – such is the tenacity of Borussia Dortmund.
