Three takeaways from Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid

Borussia Dortmund have a striker problem

That’s a weird thing to write when Borussia Dortmund have three strikers to choose from. Borussia Dortmund's first-choice striker Niklas Füllkrug was absolutely abysmal against Atletico Madrid. In the first-half alone, he only touched the ball five times, and was dispossessed twice.

I know strikers don’t tent to rack up tons of touches, but one every ten minutes shows just how little he impacted the first-half. He subbed out in the 60th minute after having touched the ball just thirteen times and having made one shot, directly to the keeper.

Against Stuttgart, Füllkrug actively hindered attacking plays, and against Bayern he was one of the only players to look off. I’m not sure what’s going on right now with the German international, but it’s time one of Sebastien Haller or Youssoufa Moukoko gets the nod to start. My greatest reasoning for this: Neither could possibly be worse. It’s also worth noting that Haller now has a goal and an assist across his three substitute appearances since returning from injury.

But moving into the summer, Borussia Dortmund need to figure out their striker situation. Haller is the highest paid player in the squad, and he barely plays. Moukoko is the rising star but hardly gets any playing time. Füllkrug is already in his 30s, hasn't scored for BVB since mid-February and I doubt he’s going to drastically improve over the next two seasons. So I ask again: Where do the goals come from?
