Midfielder starred for leaders but his future lies away from club that plays in different style to when he was in his pomp
There were times in the past when it seemed like he would do this forever; there were other times when it felt like he would never do it again. Leon Goretzka breaking a game open for Bayern Munich in his own special way doesn’t feel like it should be headline news but it is, and it was a timely intervention for the Bundesliga leaders on a rare quiet day for Harry Kane.
On a day when Wolfsburg were what they rarely are on visits to the Allianz Arena – a genuine irritant – and when Kane wasn’t able to bail Bayern out, they needed some practical rigour to see them over the line, and Goretzka provided it. Not predictably so, however. Having once been one of the avowed cornerstones of present and future Bayern, Goretzka is in the unusual position of having to prove himself all over again, though not necessarily to his current employers.
