Berlin, Sept 1 (Ians) Borussia Dortmund’s supporters experienced a roller-coaster of emotions. While the transfer of Germany’s top striker, Niclas Fullkrug, from Werder Bremen might have ignited euphoria, the mood dampened hours later with the draw of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League group stage.
Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Premier League side Newcastle have made Group F a potential minefield for the 2012 German champions. Club CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke described it as “the most difficult group” and called the draw “a vast challenge,” Xinhua reports.
Coach Edin Terzic said the club’s ambition to reach the knockout stage remains unchanged and vowed a lion-hearted effort.
Group C also looks challenging for Champions League newcomers Union Berlin, who will face Spanish giants Real Madrid, Italy’s reigning champions Napoli, and Portuguese side Braga.

Berlin, Sept 1 (Ians) Borussia Dortmund has bolstered its offense after signing last season’s Bundesliga top scorer, Niclas Fullkrug, from Werder Bremen.
The 30-year-old striker has joined Dortmund with immediate effect, inking a three-year deal, Xinhua reports.
“Niclas has proven his goalscoring skills over the years and won the top scorer trophy last season. Thanks to strong performances, he is rightly an important pillar in the attacking center of the national team. Niclas is a proactive attacker, very good in the air, physically present, he excels in one-on-one situations and is hard to cover. With all these skills, he embodies the profile we were looking for,” said Dortmund’s sporting director, Sebastian Kehl.
Fullkrug, since 2019, played for Bremen, where he made 124 competitive appearances, netting 49 goals and providing 16 assists. His performances with the Green-Whites earned Dortmund’s new addition a spot in Germany’s national team for Qatar 2022. Fullkrug made his...

Berlin, Aug 19 (Ians) A brace from Leroy Sane and a goal from new arrival Harry Kane paved the way for Bayern Munich’s 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen at the curtain raiser of the 2023-2024 Bundesliga campaign on Saturday.
The German record champions had a fairytale start as Kane’s chipped-through ball allowed Sane to finish off a counterattack in the fourth minute clinically, reports Xinhua.
The Green Whites remained unfazed and thought they had restored parity five minutes later, but Niclas Fullkrug’s header following a free-kick from Marvin Ducksch was ruled offside.
Bayern controlled possession and should have added another goal to its lead, but neither Jamal Musiala’s nor Noussair Mazraoui’s promising long-range effort found the back of the net.
Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka had his hands full of work, as he had to defuse Leon Goretzka’s hammer from the distance and Kim Min-jae’s...

Bremen (Germany), June 13 (Ians) Late goals from Kai Havertz and Joshua Kimmich helped Germany to clinch a 3-3 stalemate against resilient Ukraine in front of 35,975 spectators at the Weser stadium, here.
The Germans assumed control from the kick off as Niclas Fullkrug came close with only two minutes played. Fullkurg remained in the thick of things as he opened the scoring four minutes after deflecting Marius Wolf’s dangerous shot.
The hosts should have made it two but for all that Julian Brandt rattled only the side netting from promising position in the 11th minutes on Monday.
The visitors from the Ukraine sparked to life out of thin air as Brandt’s misplaced pass allowed Oleksandr Tymchyk to set up for Viktor Tsygankov, who beat Germany goalkeeper Kevin Trapp with a low shot from a tight angle in the 18th minute.

Berlin, March 29 (Ians) Two quick first-half goals paved the way for Belgium’s first win over Germany since 1954 following a 3-2 away victory.
The Red Devils took the reins from the start and made a perfect start on the road as Kevin De Bruyne’s through ball sent Yannick Carrasco, who finished the job with the opener into the roof of the net with six minutes played on Tuesday night.
De Bruyne remained in the thick of things and kept Germany’s defense busy as Romelu Lukaku doubled the lead courtesy of De Bruyne’s defense-splitting pass three minutes later.
Germany couldn’t keep Belgium at bay and were lucky in the 19th minute when Dodi Lukebakio failed to make it 3-0 after missing the target with only goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to beat.
Amadou Onana should have scored two minutes later, but the midfielder could only rattle the woodwork from close range.

Berlin (Germany), March 26 (Ians) Niclas Fullkrug’s brace helped Germany cruise 2-0 past Peru in Mainz following the first friendly in 2023 on Saturday.
The Germans took the reins from the get-go and came close with 11 minutes gone as Peru’s goalkeeper Pedro Gallese had to palm away Fullkrug’s dangerous header.
Gallese was hapless moments later though as Fullkrug slotted home Kai Havertz’s good build-up work, reports news agency Xinhua.
Peru’s goalkeeper remained busy but was on guard in quick succession as neither Timo Werner nor Fullkrug was able to beat Gallese from promising positions with 20 minutes played.

Berlin, Nov 29 (Ians) Germany are facing a decisive last group game against Costa Rica in an optimistic mood but feel far from a high-flying state.
“What makes us wear a smile is the second chance to get to the next round. But the truth is we have one point and a negative goal record,” Bayern icon Thomas Muller stated.
Bremen striker Niclas Fullkrug mentioned, “it’s not entirely in our hands. Spain was an important step and the 1-1 gives us energy, but after all, it was only a draw.”
To proceed to the knockout stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the struggling 2014 world champion need to beat Costa Rica and at the same time hope for the “help” of Spain against Japan.
“We didn’t get anywhere so far, but now have a second chance and we are desperate to use it,” Fullkrug said after the 29-year-old had scored...
