► Sub now:
For many football fans, 26 May 2020 was the day of Der Klassiker as Bayern München beat Borussia Dortmund. But in the shadow of this meeting of giants, there’s a story we’d like to share with you, because Bundesliga 2 outfit SV Sandhausen have a player in their ranks who, up until now, has held an unwanted record in the Bundesliga. His name is Dennis Diekmeier and he hadn’t scored a single goal in 262 Bundesliga appearances. And no, he’s not a goalkeeper. Then, on 26 May 26, he came up against SV Wehen Wiesbaden. During a set-piece, Diekmeier found himself where a real poacher needs to be and ended his 21,692-minute goal drought. Now that’s a story worth telling! Do you think anyone will ever relieve Diekmeier of that unwanted record? And is there player who is even more unlucky? Let us know in the comments!
