Roman Bürki’s funny pre-match ritual for Borussia Dortmund

Roman Burki is a goalkeeper for Borussia Dortmund and has a curious superstition. Before each game, the Swiss goalkeeper makes a point of touching the ball while the team captains draw the choice of field and who leaves with the ball.

Burki has no problem asking the child who takes it to the pitch from the referee if necessary, or even giving the referee a slight ‘get there’ to get the ball
