I n the second leg against Juventus Dortmund lost to Juventus 3-1 due to Gianluigi Buffon

The game against Juventus Dybala opened the score in the 34th minute and in the 45th+1 minute Cuadrado dribbled through the Dortmund defence and immediately released a low shot from outside the box and it headed straight into the bottom right corner

The ball slipped into the goal giving Juventus the lead 2-1 but in the second half at the 55th minute, Jadon Sancho sent a pass to Adewale

As he received the ball he gently flicked it over the defender who was behind him and made a sharp turn before hitting a volley towards the goal edge and opening the scoreline for Dortmund 2-1 and

Although Adewale hit many shots at goal and made many crucial passes they didn't become goal because of Buffon who stopped 11 shots on target by Dortmund

But Buffon destroyed their chances and Mario Mandžukić scored an header in the 88th minute and the Dortmund players left the stadium in tears with their fans

Even Adewale couldn't stop the tears, As the Dortmund side this might be a chance to win the champions League and even felt they should be able to advance to the semi-finals because of their previous win against Juventus in the first leg and winning the champions league against them in 1966/67

Although Dortmund was eliminated from the champions League they still topped the Bundesliga.

After their loss against Juventus, the Dortmund team went to a gala in Berlin Grand Hotel

Adewale, dressed in a tailored black tuxedo, felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. This was his first high-profile event since joining Borussia Dortmund

During the party Adewale soon got bored from mingling, until he saw a girl by the staircase she was strikingly beautiful, with long, flowing blonde hair and a poised demeanor that belied her age. She wore a stunning emerald green gown that accentuated her graceful figure

(She would only be his girlfriend and they would later break up after he leaves but if you people want her then she can stay)

Adewale approached her to start a conversation

"Hello I am Adewale, a Dortmund player and I believe you are Elena Hartmann"

Said Adewale has he had seen some of her picture in the magazines and online being an endorsers for different companies at the age of 17

"Yeah and I believe you are the football rising star and top goal scorer in the Bundesliga Adewale " She replied, her eyes filled with interest

"Oh so you do know me, I guess I am that famous" asked Adewale

"I guess you are" she said with a slight smile on her lips making everything else dim I'm comparison

She and Adewale ended up chatting about different things eliciting subtle chuckles and slight laughter from her

They discussed several topics like their favorite movie, type of music, fashion sense, football and a bunch of other stuffs

And by the end for the evening all though they could not be considered best friends but there was a level of familiarity between them

By the end of the evening Adewale invitee her to see their next match even promising to give her a tour of the club if she ever visited
