"He was the Bundesliga record transfer. When you see the years after, it was not the best transfer though, as the team lost lots of quality." Dembele and the DFB-Pokal holders Dortmund played the reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup on Saturday, losing on penalties. They open their Bundesliga campaign August 19 on the road against Wolfsburg.</blockquote>
