After a short stay in Borussia Mönchengladbach, Reus returned to his childhood club in 2012. Since then, he has been involved in winning two cup titles and playing in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
Now he hopes to lead the team to another final.
Dortmund recently won the first Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain 1-0. In a possible final, they could once again face Bayern Munich (or Real Madrid).
