Scouting Report

Marcel Sabitzer played a vital role in Borussia Dortmund's run to the Champions League final with one goal and five assists and he is even more important to Austria. Operating on the left side of an attacking quartet, Sabitzer is Austria’s main penalty taker and has scored five goals in ten appearances since the start of 2023, while he has 14 goal contributions across all competitions for Dortmund this term.
