Sébastien Haller scored the decisive goal for Ivory Coast in the Africa Cup of Nations final. The 29-year-old striker was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the summer of 2022, shortly after his move from Ajax Amsterdam to Dortmund.
Haller returned to the field in January 2023. His goals and assists enabled BVB to make a splendid comeback in the second half of last season, but when the championship seemed almost perfect, the striker's nerves failed him. "I'm having trouble understanding it all," he said after the final.
