Nicolas Pépé faces Borussia Dortmund in Champions League clash
Nicolas Pépé, the 31-year-old Villarreal forward, is set to face Borussia Dortmund in an upcoming Champions League fixture. This match marks a significant moment for Pépé, as Dortmund was previously interested in signing him during his standout 2018/19 season with OSC Lille.
During his time at Lille, Pépé recorded 22 goals and 12 assists, leading the club to a second-place finish. Although Dortmund expressed interest, they were unable to meet the transfer demands, leading to his 80-million-euro move to Arsenal in 2019.
After various career moves, Pépé joined Villarreal, where he has regained form. He recently contributed eight goals and ten assists to help the club secure third place in the league, behind Barcelona and Real Madrid. Villarreal seeks revenge against Dortmund following a 0-4 loss to them nine months ago.
