Two goals and two assists in just one game—Leon Goretzka recently gave a dazzling performance in our 8-1 win over Mainz—impressive proof of how strong our midfield engine currently is. The numbers show that in his current form, he is indispensable:
Leon has amassed 9 scorer points (2 goals, 7 assists) from the beginning of the year to the 25th Bundesliga matchday. Only Harry Kane (12) and Augsburg's Ermedin Demirovic (10) are ahead of him at this point.
He has led 82 defensive duels in the Bundesliga in 2024 so far—more than any other FCB player.
93% pass accuracy in his own half—an absolute top value! This shows how important he is for our game structure.
574 ball possessions in the Bundesliga—only Matthijs de Ligt has been more present in the Bayern game in 2024 than our number 8. The Dutchman has 581.
He has made 9.6 successful passes into the attacking third this Champions League season; only Koke from Atlético has more among midfielders (9.9).
