Jadon Sancho showed with his outstanding performance in the Champions League semi-finals between Borussia Dortmund and PSG that football gives revenge and on this occasion it was to him that work and, above all, football did justice in the victory of the Black & Yellow against the Parisian team.
The conflicts and problems that the 24-year-old had at Manchester United with Erik Ten Hag at the helm seem to have been left behind and now he seems to have been reborn to demonstrate the talent and quality with which he plays ball.
An example of this was the almost perfect game that Sancho had in these first 90 minutes of the semifinals against PSG. The Signal Iduna Park pitch and the ball became Jadon Sancho’s best allies in this match in which Dortmund was a complete wall against PSG.
With more than 11 dribbles and one-on-ones generated in the match, Jadon Sancho accomplished more in this match than during his entire stay at Manchester United, where he could not consolidate and ended up leaving after a conflict with Erik Ten Hag and now returns to enjoy football, leaving behind all those conflicts and personal issues that led him to a football and personal slump.

Sancho equals Messi’s record in the Champions League semi-finals
The brilliant performance of the young Dortmund footballer made him the English player to make 11 or more correct one-on-ones in a match in the history of the Champions League, in addition to equaling a mark that dates back 16 years.
Well, since Messi made 12 effective dribbles in the semifinal against Manchester United in 2008, no player had had this number until what Jadon Sancho did tonight against PSG.
Jadon Sancho does not think about his future
At the end of the match and after his outstanding performance in this Champions League semi-final at Signal Iduna Park, Jadon Sancho gave an interview to CBS Sports Golazo, where Jamie Carragher and Peter Schemichel questioned him about his future.
It was recently mentioned that Dortmund will do everything possible to retain him on this loan and buy his letter, however, in the end the word will be up to Manchester United and much will depend on the continuity or not of Erik Ten Hag.
