In the match, the 29-year-old’s playmaking skills were on full display as he delivered the decisive pass for Maximillian Beier to score the winning goal.

The chance was one of two created by Guirassy, who ended the intense encounter as the most fouled player on the pitch.

This assist brought his total for the season to four, complementing his impressive tally of 10 goals.

With 14 goal contributions, Guirassy joins Salah as the African player with the most goal contributions in a single Champions League campaign.

Guirassy's form has been key, if not decisive, in Dortmund's success this season, and his ability to both score and create goals has made him a key figure in the team.

By equalling Salah's record, per this B/R post, Guirassy solidifies his position among the elite African players in the Champions League, further highlighting his impact on the European stage.

This achievement not only shows Guirassy's individual quality but also reflects his growing influence in European football.

After helping Borussia Dortmund progress to the quarterfinals, Guirassy will be crucial in their bid to advance further in the competition.
