Although Borussia Dortmund lost the second leg 2-0, they advanced through aggregate goals.
**2007 - The Return to Champions League**
After missing the Champions League semi-finals due to injury, Bensebaini returned to form in 2007. He won the Bundesliga title again and also reached the UEFA Cup Final. Unfortunately, the match ended in a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal, but this season marked another golden period for Bensebaini.
**2010 - Retirement**
Despite a promising start, Bensebaini announced his retirement from international soccer in 2010, having represented Morocco for over two decades. However, his impact on Borussia Dortmund remained strong until his final years with the club.
**Legacy and Impact**
Throughout his career, Bensebaini not only contributed significantly to Borussia Dortmund’s successes but also set a high standard for defensive play. His longevity in the game, coupled with his ability to adapt to different positions (defending, midfield, and even as a striker), made him an invaluable asset to the club.
