Haaland scored 16 goals in all competitions for Dortmund that season afꦕter joining the club in January, while Sancho managed 20 goals and 20 assists in wha♕t was a tremendous individual campaign.

Brandt only managed seven goals and 13 assists, but Kai Havertz publicly claimed in February 2020 that the German was Borussia Dortmund’s best player ahead of both H𒆙aaland and Sancho.

He told : “I✱ wrote to him (Brandt) on Tuesday after the game. Sancho and Haaland aren’t playing too badly either, but at the moment he’s the best player at (Borussia) Dortmund.”
