February 2024 – Holding On!
Bundesliga: We’ve clawed our way up to 4th, and into the UCL spots. We did it while facing illness, injuries and the African Cup. The introductions of Jadon Sancho and Ian Maatsen were an instant boost. The level of opposition helped too. We are still undefeated in 2024, though the tie at Heidenheim felt like a defeat. Feels a lot like 2023, actually.
UEFA Champions League: We drew PSV and the oddsmakers say we are favored to win. Now we just have to show it. PSV away is February 20. With a fully healthy team, or at least with Kobel, Brandt and Reus returning, I’m feeling confident on both legs.
