Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho looking for Wembley redemption in Champions League final
CNN
Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho speaks exclusively with CNN on the “crazy” way he’s ended up playing a key role in the Germans reaching the Champions League final.
Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho is the first to admit “it’s kind of crazy” the way his season has panned out. The 24-year-old mercurial winger has played a key part in the German team’s unlikely journey to the Champions League final after he was loaned from Manchester United in January – with Die Schwarzgelben now on the cusp of winning their second European Cup on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. “I’m thankful for the team and the staff for welcoming me back. So, you know, it’s a nice moment,” Sancho said in an extensive, exclusive sit-down interview with CNN Senior Sport Analyst Darren Lewis in Dortmund earlier this week. “To be fair, it felt surreal. Again, it still hasn’t hit me. I’m sure in the next couple of days probably when we travel to London, that’s when it’s gonna hit me properly. “I’m a type of person that I don’t like making new friends. I’ve got a big thing on trust – it’s hard for me to trust people. But I think growing up in South [London], that’s what you’re just taught, it’s like one big family … That’s why I feel like I connect so much with Dortmund. “It’s kind of crazy, you know, I don’t think anyone would have expected this – me being in the Champions League final, especially where I came from. I’m just happy.”
