In a key battle in the final round of the Bundesliga that ended on the evening of May 18, Beijing time, Dortmund defeated the "deputy squad leader" Darmstadt 4-0 at home, and Reuss, who ushered in the curtain call of Dort's career, bid farewell to the fans at Westphalia Stadium with an excellent performance of 1 pass and 1 shot.

Having already qualified for next season's Champions League and a 5th place standing, Dortmund has no desire for this campaign. Considering that the team still has one crucial Champions League final to play, coach Terzic has opted to rotate his squad. And captain Royce, who has lost his main position, also got the opportunity to start the curtain call at home.

Borussia Dortmund fans had already prepared their 34-year-old captain's farewell before the game, and they paid tribute to the legend with a giant TIFO at the Westphalen Stadium. It has Royce's No. 11 jersey on it, as well as that touching "Thank you Royce".

And Reuss quickly repaid the favor, and in the 33rd minute of the game, Reus assisted Mattson to break the deadlock.

Six minutes later, Reus took a free kick and kicked the arc of the full moon scimitar to score. After the goal, Reus ran wildly with excitement, perhaps he also knew that this free-kick was his last goal on behalf of Dort.

Subsequently, Dortmund's teammates directly raised Reuss to salute. This scene also brought tears to the eyes of Dortmund fans at the scene and in front of the TV.

Yibian fought again, and Reus still had a chance to score. In the 56th minute, Reus took another free kick directly at the goal, which was slightly wide of the far post and was broken by the goalkeeper.

In the 80th minute, Reus was replaced early by the coach and received a tsunami of cheers from the home fans. The entire Dortmund team lined up to salute him, and the opponent Darmstadt players also applauded him.

And Royce himself was reluctant to kiss and bid farewell to the fans in the stands who were cheering for him.

According to statistics, Royce had 5 shots, 6 key passes, 4 steals, and 1 hit the goal frame, all of which were the highest in the game, and he naturally scored a game-high 9.5 points without any suspense.

It can be said that Royce's performance in this home curtain call was indeed perfect. Of course, Reus has a more perfect way to say goodbye to Dort, and the Champions League final in 2 weeks will be the curtain call for Royce's real Dort career, hoping that he can say goodbye with a heavy Big Ears Cup.
