Watch: Highlights of Borussia Dortmund’s pre-season so far!
Borussia Dortmund have been in rip-roaring form in pre-season, coming past each of Seattle Sounders, European champions Liverpool, and Udinese so far.
Dortmund’s summer transfer business – which saw them acquire Mats Hummels, Julian Brandt, Thorgan Hazard and Nico Schulz – has been the envy of the Bundesliga and beyond.
The team have gelled quickly if this summer is anything to go by, although perhaps the biggest winners have been Spanish goal-fiend Paco Alcacer, and 16-year-old American prodigy Gio Reyna…

Goals: 0-1 Wolf (37'), 0-2 Alcacer (50'), 1-2 Campbell (54'), 1-3 Sancho (77')
