Donyell Malen made a name for himself again in Germany on Saturday evening. The Borussia Dortmund attacker scored a goal during the 5-2 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach and prepared two goals from Sébastien Haller. In the media Malen is rewarded with a 1, the highest possible mark in Germany.
Mainly RAN was full of praise for Malen and knew the attacker, who scored three of the five goals BVB was involved, a 1. A better rating is not possible in Germany. He embodies Dortmund’s game in recent weeks. “He has fun, is fast and always carries out his actions. Malen did not take it easy in the second half either and the substitution in minute 68 was a well-deserved public substitution.”
The online medium SPOX gives Malen a 1.5 and is impressed by the form of the the Dutch international. After the winter break, the former PSV player is on target with eight goals and three assists in his last ten games. “He puts his crazy run Just by! If Gladbach’s goalkeeper hadn’t intervened so well, Malen would have even scored a goal. Nothing could be done against his two assists.”
Leading media like Kicker and BILD did not hand out any points, but did have compliments for Malen. The first medium thought that the attacker from Wieringen was ‘very present’ and caused a lot of threat with his speed, while BILD records that Malen and Haller together provided a ‘dream goal’ at the ‘gala performance’ that Dortmund provided. In addition to those two players, Jude Bellingham and Giovanni Reyna also scored.
