Leon Goretzka ‘fired up’ for Bayern Munich home match against PSG after scoring Bundesliga brace

Bayern Munich brace-scorer Leon Goretzka declared himself fired up for Wednesday’s Champions League return leg against PSG after Saturday’s Bundesliga draw. The German record champions – after falling behind for the third consecutive match on-the-spin – established themselves as true ‘comeback kings’ as their record-breaking 2025/26 season draws to a close.

Bayern Munich refuse to give up

In last weekend’s Bundesliga fixture against Mainz, Vincent Kompany’s Bayern battled back from a 3-0 halftime deficit to pull out a 3-4 away win. In Tuesday’s Champions League encounter for the ages, the Bavarians didn’t allow a 5-2 PSG lead to demoralize them. Two unanswered goals against the French Champions leave Kompany and the rest of the team confident they can reach the UCL Final by winning the return leg at home.

Injuries and Kompany’s Champions-League squad rotations led to Goretzka donning the captain’s armband and working as a No. 10 last week against Mainz. This week, Goretzka started as a No. 6, but once again had to move up front when an experiment involving using his German national team midfield partner Aleksandar Pavlovic as a winger didn’t work out.
