FC Bayern Munich – Leon Goretzka before the game against BVB: “We can’t afford anything anymore”

Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka sees a special pressure on the stars of the record champions before the Bundesliga summit against Borussia Dortmund. After ten championship titles in a row, he “as a player absolutely does not want to be part of the team that is breaking this series,” said the international sports picture.

Goretzka was confident before the top duel on Saturday (6.30 p.m.) against the leaders, who are one point ahead of Bayern.

“We’re under pressure, no question. We brought ourselves into this situation. We can’t afford anything more from the result,” emphasized the 28-year-old, adding: “The good thing is that we were in exactly these situations as FC Bayern have been there in the past. That’s also the plan for Saturday.”

He finds such a constellation “awesome”, said Goretzka: “I enjoy these games a lot, I’m really looking forward to Saturday. Because of these situations I switched to Bayern, that’s why I want to be in this club: to relieve the pressure I feel like fighting my way out of the situation, winning this game. I can only say: We are ready. We want the eleventh championship in a row!”

The fact that Bayern lacked consistency in the past few weeks should no longer happen. “Here we are all challenged to do much better,” said the midfielder. A mentality like that in the Champions League round of 16 against Paris St. Germain “we have to call up much more often”.
