Lothar Matthaus makes case for Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka to start for German national team vs. Italy
Briefly

Lothar Matthäus praises Leon Goretzka for his remarkable return to form, stating he deserves to start for the German national team. Matthäus emphasizes Goretzka's footballing quality, attitude, and character, highlighting his skill in the double pivot position. However, competition is fierce among midfielders like Goretzka, Angelo Stiller, and Robert Andrich, creating uncertainty about who Julian Nagelsmann will choose for the lineup. The latest performance concerns for Bayern Munich and comparisons to Bayer Leverkusen's rise in the Bundesliga are also addressed in the podcast discussions.
Leon Goretzka is back in the German national team and, in my opinion, belongs in the starting eleven [against Italy]. I always thought what happened to him was incomprehensible, especially at Bayern.
Goretzka has certainly made his case, but the competition will be tight among himself, Stiller, Andrich, and Pascal Groß. Julian Nagelsmann had shown a proclivity to using Andrich and Groß together.
