Amid the World Cup pressure, a bit of little bit of enjoyable. Bayern Munich and Germany star winger Serge Gnabry was requested to pick an XI of the highest gamers he’s ever performed with. The 27-year-old is a full Germany worldwide and has hung out at golf equipment the likes of Arsenal FC and FC Bayern, so naturally, competitions for locations are fairly fierce. Right here’s who he got here up with:
Striker: Robert Lewandowski
Wings: Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman
No. 10: Mesut Özil
Midfield: Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka
Protection: Alphonso Davies, David Alaba, Per Mertesacker, Hector Bellerín
GK: Manuel Neuer
What, no love for Thomas Müller? Properly, we did warn that the competitors was fierce! Özil, like FC Barcelona’s Bellerín, was pal and teammate from Gnabry’s Arsenal days — and one of many best tens the world had ever seen, in his day.
There’s one other connection there, too. When Özil made his Final XI for Arsenal’s social media channel in 2015, he tapped then-teammate Gnabry at his personal No. 10 place:
“At No. 10: Serge Gnabry,” the previous German worldwide mentioned. “As a result of he’s sitting proper right here!”
(Gnabry would spend that season on mortgage at West Brom and make one league look — nonetheless a bit of methods away from tearing up the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim earlier than arriving at Bayern in 2018.)
As a lot as we love our Raumdeuter right here at BFW, we will’t take any points with Gnabry’s record — which firstly is only for enjoyable, and secondly, once more, had no house for all the celebrities Gnabry has crossed paths with.
