Marco Reus is one of the most talented players in the world, but he's also incredibly injury-prone. Today, the player erased any doubts concerning his fitness by putting up an incredible performance in Borussia Dortmund's historical 8-4 win vs Legia Warsaw.
The German scored a brace during the first half of the game, in what must have been a very emotional moment for the recently recovered footballer. Later in the game, Reus provided a couple of assists, and as time expired, he scored the game's record-breaking goal.
Here's how fans, experts and former colleagues reacted to his stellar performance.
