Sancho’s return to Dortmund marked a turning point after being sidelined from Manchester United by Erik ten Hag amid public controversy. His loan spell at Dortmund has breathed new life into his career, and Ferdinand is thrilled that this chapter in Germany might lead to a Champions League final appearance.
While providing commentary on TNT Sports during the Champions League coverage, Ferdinand expressed his astonishment at Sancho’s journey: “We asked for Sancho to put in a performance, a lot to prove and he’s showing it. He’s left Manchester United under a cloud, he’s now in a Champions League semi-final against PSG. Who could have written that script? He wouldn’t have seen that coming.”
Analyzing Sancho’s performance in Tuesday’s match against Atletico, his individual stats might not jump off the page, with just two key passes, two successful dribbles, and one tackle. However, his active involvement in the attacking third, evident from his 60 touches on the ball, earned praise from Ferdinand.
According to ESPN, Sancho has propelled further in the Champions League than any United team since 2011. Should Dortmund overcome Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, Sancho could find himself competing for the prestigious trophy at Wembley in June.
Before shifting their focus back to the continental competition, Dortmund faces Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig in Bundesliga clashes on April 21 and 27, respectively. Meanwhile, Manchester United will contend against Coventry in an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday, as Erik ten Hag’s squad aims to keep their quest for silverware alive.
