World Cup hero Mario Götze still has a big dream in his football career.
“I’ve always made it my mission that I absolutely want to win the Champions League. That would be something I would like to achieve. I want to, I don’t have to. I think the competition is simply outstanding,” said the ex- Munich and Dortmunder in an interview with the magazine “Sports Illustrated” about his goals.
The 29-year-old, who scored the winning goal in the 2014 World Cup final against Argentina at the Maracana Stadium, now plays for PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch senior division. In order to get closer to the goal of a triumph in the premier class, he is also considering changing clubs again.
“I’ve just made the step from the Bundesliga to Holland to see and experience something new. Up to now I’ve only known the Bundesliga, in which I’ve played for ten years,” said Götze. With my goal mentioned above, “I would first like to play at the highest level in Europe. Preferably in Italy or Spain. The Premier League with its balanced league also appeals to me”.
The attacking midfielder also doesn’t rule out a return to the Bundesliga: “A lot has to come together for me. The package of coach and club has to be right. That could happen then, but it’s not like I’m saying: I absolutely have to go to the Bundesliga Bundesliga back.” His contract in Eindhoven runs until 2024.
