4 Footballers who have played for both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund since 2000

#2 Mario Gotze

Mario Gotze has been troubled with injuries recently

Gotze rose to prominence while playing under Jurgen Klopp for Borussia Dortmund. He joined Dortmund in 2009 and played for them till 2014. He also won two Bundesliga titles and a runners-up medal in the Champions League in 2013. Goetze plays primarily as an attacking midfielder and famously scored the winning goals in the 2014 World Cup final against Argentina.

The 26-year-old made a move to Bayern in 2013 but did not play there for a long duration. He struggled to cement his position in the Bayern line-up and warmed the bench for a considerable period of time. He scored 36 goals in 114 matches for Bayern and again moved to Dortmund in 2016. However, he managed to win three Bundesliga titles with the Bavarian giants.

In his second stint with Dortmund, Gotze has been quite decent. He has scored 39 goals in 192 matches for them and remains one of the footballers to have won the Bundesliga with both the clubs.
