Reus vor Zorc: The captain scored his 160th and 161st competitive goals for BVB, overtaking Michael Zorc (159). Historically, Adi Preißler is at the forefront. Preißler has scored 177 goals for BVB since the Oberliga West was introduced in 1947. A complete documentation of all BVB goal scorers has only existed since then. The goals that Preißler scored in the two seasons prior to the 1947/48 season are not included in the 177 hits.

More points than games: In his seven Bundesliga games after the winter break, Raphael Guerreiro was involved in nine goals (two goals, seven assists) and is the sole top scorer in the league in 2023!
