Bayern Munich will be saying goodbye to a club veteran on Saturday after the DFB Pokal final against VfB Stuttgart. Leon Goretzka has been perhaps one of the most divisive players to play for the club in recent years. A player that has been loved and hated, but has without a doubt, given everything he can to the club.
“I would like to thank you all. We all felt that we could win the Champions League this year. It really hurts. But we have another game in a week – and we’ll give it our all again to win the cup,”

It is sad to see Goretzka leave without the high of a Champions League title, but Goretzka was a key figure in the 2020 UCL winning squad, and a DFB-Pokal win would still be a high note for the club and player. Despite leaving the club, Goretzka has been linked to many top squads in Europe and will surely continue on a successful career outside of Germany.
Goretzka might play a key role under Julian Nagelsmann this summer, something that surely won’t hurt his stock in the transfer market this summer. Thank you for everything Leon!
