Shinji Kagawa

The Japanese fan favorite made 21 appearances this season that ranged from looking like the best player on the pitch to rather disappointing. He created 34 chances which led to a comfortable six assists and held an 85% pass completion rate. Kagawa is not a player that will be a shining star for Dortmund, nor has he been expected to be. Overall, a fairly consistent season for Shinji.

Player Grade: C
