Borussia Dortmund's top 10 No.10s as Julian Brandt takes over 'mystical' shirt number
Julian Brandt is Borussia Dortmund’s new no.10 - an honour well deserved after a fine campaign last time out, with the playmaker taking over a number that’s extra special when it’s printed in black onto yellow.
In a move he also made at former club Bayer Leverkusen, Brandt hands back his old No.19 shirt to become a No.10 and it comes after a career-best 2023/24 season where he amassed 10 goals and 14 assists in all competitions.
Discussing the honour with Sky Germany, the 28-year-old said: "I think that when a shirt number changes, it shows that you have plans for the season. I have now underlined that again with the back of my shirt. But I think that the number ten has something mystical about it, I actually still feel that. For me it is something special. All of the players who I admired or looked up to in the past have worn this number.”
