Leon Goretzka is leaving Munich after eight years with FC Bayern, totaling 312 appearances. His time included major successes, reaching a peak with the 2020 Champions League triumph and ending with a double win in 2026. In his first start for the club during the 2018/19 season against VfB Stuttgart, he scored to put Bayern ahead and later assisted Robert Lewandowski in a 3-0 win, earning Man of the Match. In 2019/20, he scored a standout goal against Schalke 04, completing a scissors-kick finish after a corner and rebound. Across eight seasons, he scored 51 goals for Bayern and collected multiple trophies including Bundesliga titles, DFB Cups, Super Cups, and international honors.

He launched himself into a scissors kick and found the bottom left corner - leaving goalkeeper Markus Schubert with no chance.
