Reus on fire as Dortmund thumps Augsburg
Departing Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus scored one and set up two more goals in a 5-1 win over Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
Reus will leave the club after 12 years at the end of the season but a UEFA Champions League final at Wembley would see his career at the Ruhr valley club come full circle, coach Edin Terzic said.
Dortmund is preparing to face Paris Saint-Germain in a semi-final second leg in France on Wednesday (AEST) after winning the first leg in Germany 1-0.
A UEFA Champions League winner in 1997, th German side is hoping to make its first final in the competition since 2013, when it lost to rival Bayern Munich at Wembley.
A return to that stadium for this year's final would be a fitting finale for Reus's Dortmund career, Terzic said.
"Yes, a cycle would close," Terzic said. "It was in his first season at Dortmund that he played at Wembley and it would be perfect to return there," Terzic said.
"He is a living legend. He has put all other stories in the shadow today.
"What I wish is that the Marco Reus festival lasts for another month and we experience a few more games together."
The 34-year-old, who joined in 2012 and also spent a decade at the Ruhr Valley club as a youth player, has scored 169 goals in 425 matches for Dortmund while setting up another 130.
Reus won two German Cups but did not collect any other major titles, agonisingly missing out on his first Bundesliga trophy last season on the final matchday.
Dortmund is in fifth place in the Bundesliga with two games remaining.
It was at risk of missing out on UEFA Champions League football next season before a win over PSG sealed a fifth spot for Germany in next season's competition.
Youssoufa Moukoko struck either side of Doneyll Malen's 20th minute goal to quickly put the game against Augsburg to bed.
The visitors cut the deficit in the 32nd minute with Ruben Vargas but the hosts restored their three-goal cushion through Reus in the 34th.
He then delivered his second assist of the game for Felix Nmecha to make it 5-1 in the 64th minute.
Reus, aged 34 years and 339 days, is the oldest player to be directly involved in three or more goals in a Bundesliga match since Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery against Wolfsburg in March 2019.
