On the evening of May 18, Dortmund traveled to Borussia-Park to face Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga's penultimate round. In the end, Lucien Favre's team won 2-0, thanks to 2 goals from Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus.
Despite the victory, Dortmund could not touch the silver plate. In the match at the same time, Bayern Munich crushed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 right at home. After 34 rounds, the Gray Tigers have 78 points, winning the Bundesliga for the 7th consecutive time with 2 points more than Dortmund.
Unable to fulfill his dream with the home team at Signal Iduna Park, 2018-2019 was still a memorable campaign for Sancho personally. The young English talent had a turning point in his career, after 34 appearances in the Bundesliga, he contributed 12 goals and 14 assists and became the Bundesliga's top scorer. It is a pity that the efforts of Sancho and his teammates are not enough to help them make a difference.
In less than twenty years, Sancho has been a mainstay of Dortmund. After his first full season with Dortmund, Jadon Sancho has become one of the most sought-after names in Europe. The highly impressive performance of the 19-year-old star caught the eye of many big names, notably Man Utd. The Red Devils in the reconstruction plan are said to be willing to spend no less than 100 million pounds to gain mature talent from Man City's youth training center. However, in an interview after the match, the England international hinted that he would continue to be associated with Signal Iduna Park when he announced that his and his teammates' goal next season was to win the Silver award.
I am really happy with my performance this season. I didn't know it would happen like that. At first, I didn't play often, but things gradually changed. It all comes from my efforts.
My teammates help me and the coach also believes in me. That made me feel very grateful. Next season, we will aim for the championship, not for second place."
This season saw Sancho explode in the Bundesliga as the tournament's "assisting king" with 14 assists for teammates. With 12 direct goals, the England international helped Dortmund compete for the championship with Bayern Munich until the final round.
