Leon Goretzka
One for the future?

Bayern Munich failed to assert their superiority and dominance for most parts of the game and this allowed Schalke to have their moments, and no one enjoyed it more than the 21-year-old.

Yes, he should have scored in the 19th minute when he crashed his header against David Alaba, but apart from that the German midfielder was an absolute livewire in the field and was involved in everything attacking for Weinzierl’s side.

Goretzka is considered one of the best talents in the Bundesliga and the German gave enough proof of the same. He created chances, he got on the end of chances, he started counter-attacks and even helped his team out defensively.

If the 21-year-old’s development trajectory remains on the up, it will not be long before one of the biggest clubs in Europe come calling for his services.
