The particularly explosive season of Bayer Leverkusen’s young star helped him break a 30-year record.
Florian Wirtz was the author of a hat-trick against Werder Bremen to help Bayer Leverkusen win 5-0.
The goals all came from Wirtz’s classy finishes. In particular, the German star scored a super shot from long range when entering his name on the electronic board for the first time.
The latest 3 goals helped the attacking midfielder born in 2003 reach 17 goals and 18 assists in all competitions this season. In the Bundesliga alone, Wirtz pocketed 11 goals and 10 assists. These parameters show the comprehensiveness of the German player.
He is the first German player in the past 30 years to contribute 15 goals and 15 assists in a season for a team in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Wirtz is truly the pillar that helped Leverkusen reach the first Bundesliga silver plate in history.
The current achievement of No. 10 Leverkusen is especially impressive if you know that Wirtz suffered a ligament injury at the age of 18 two seasons ago.
Overcoming the biggest obsession that every player wants to avoid, Wirtz is not only a promising talent in German football but is also recognized as a bright young star in Europe.
The 20-year-old player marked a remarkable maturity this season.
Wirtz became the inspiration to help Leverkusen win the championship.
Xabi Alonso has molded an excellent young attacking midfielder.
Wirtz is expected to shine for the German national team at EURO 2024.
