WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>With only one round left in the Bundesliga, SC Freiburg are on course for a historic qualification to the Champions League thanks to their fourth place in the Bundesliga table. One of the major contributors to Freiburg's push has been Doan, who is the club's top scorer this season with nine goals. Freiburg, who signed the winger from PSV Eindhoven in 2022, paid €8.5 million for his services.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Doan has completed 55 dribbles this season, according to Opta. This places him fifth in the league standings for dribbles completed.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Freiburg welcomes Eintracht Frankfurt to the Station Europa Park in the last fixture of the season. In a virtual 6-pointer, a win for Freiburg would cost Doan's potential suitors Eintracht a place in the Champions League next season. Subsequently, the result of this game could influence Dortmund's qualification as well.</p>
