Borussia Dortmund wins hearts after tweeting their hilarious version of the Oscar Piastri transfer saga

Dortmund and Oscar Piastri

Borussia Dortmund, a German football club, punned around with a new Oscar Piastri joke to announce their broadcasting partner in the US. Dortmund will be playing against Leverkusen this weekend as their first feature match of the 2022-2023 Bundesliga season. They shared the details of the broadcasting partner for the United States. ABC will showcase the match played between the teams and will be shown for free.

But Dortmund came out with a very surreal way to bring out the announcement. As the latest sports trend goes on with Oscar Piastri’s message to his team denying a place in the 2023 season, the German club took it as an opportunity to bring out a positive pun around it.

Alpine, a French Formula 1 team, came out to announce their second driver for the 2023 season that is Oscar. But Oscar readily reacted to this message and clarified it as a wrong move. Piastri denied his signing for the team and confirmed himself as not a Formula 1 driver for next season.

“We understand that, on Saturday, the Bundesliga has put out a press release that our match against Leverkusen will be aired live on ABC. This is correct and all fans in the US will be able to watch the match on cable, for free. We are excited to play football this year,” Borussia Dortmund’s official statement.

Dortmund isn’t the first team to play around with the joke. Earlier DTM series also made out a poster taking Oscar Piastri into their sport next year.

Even the sports person from Formula 1 took things as a joke to make their declarations. Alex Albon signed a multi-year deal with Williams and declared his seat in his own fun way.

As of now, nothing has been cleared from any of the parties regarding Piastri’s future. With rumours around his move to McLaren, things would be serious for Daniel Ricciardo to swap around in Alpine again.
