Serhou Guirassy has become a record-breaking force in African football, achieving historic success in the Champions League. Despite Borussia Dortmund’s exit from the competition, Guirassy’s hat-trick in the quarterfinals made him the first African player to score a treble at this stage of the competition. The feat also saw him set the record for the most goals by an African in a single Champions League season with 13 goals, and the most by a Dortmund player, surpassing the previous record of 10 goals. Consequently, Guirassy now has 15 total Champions League goals, placing him inside the top 10 of the all-time African scorers in the competition’s history.
