Who is Marco Reus?
As a soccer fan, you definitely know Reus, especially if you are a German soccer fan! But if you're not one of them, we'll be happy to introduce him to you! Marco Reus is a German professional footballer and team captain at Borussia Dortmund. He has also played for the German national soccer team since 2011.
In the 2008-09 season, Reus made his breakthrough in professional soccer at the age of 19. On his first matchday, he was substituted at half-time. By the fourth, he was in the starting lineup, where scored his first professional goal. After that, he managed to earn a regular spot and made 27 appearances, scoring four goals.
Out of 50 games this season, the captain played 48, the most of any Dortmund player ahead of Mats Hummels or Jude Bellingham. In the first Bundesliga game of the 2021/22 season, Reus scored his 100th Bundesliga goal for BVB in a 5-2 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
And through this achievement and many more, he earned his own skin in Fortnite.
