Mario Götze, Germany footballer: Profile, Career, News & Videos

Mario Götze is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or forward for Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.

He played for Borussia Dortmund between 2009 and 2013, winning the Bundesliga title in 2010–11 and the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double in 2011–12, and was a member of the team which reached the 2013 UEFA Champions League final. In April 2013, a €37 million bid from Bayern Munich triggered a release clause in Götze's contract, making him the second-most expensive German player at the time, behind Mesut Özil. He spent three seasons with the club where he won a further three league titles, two DFB-Pokal trophies and a winners' medal in each of the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup. He then returned to Dortmund in 2016, where he added another DFB-Pokal title and a DFL-Supercup to his name. He joined PSV Eindhoven in 2020, spending two seasons there before joining Eintracht Frankfurt.

Götze was first selected for the Germany national team in 2010, at the age of 18. He was included in the squad for Euro 2012 and, two years later, scored the winning goal in the 2014 World Cup final. He also represented Germany at Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup.
