Two shots from bench
Goretzka registered two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout defeat to Paraguay.
Analysis: Goretzka would appear from the bench for Germany on Monday and would play 75 minutes due to the match going to extra time. He would record a cross, a chance created and two crosses, as Germany was not able to find the winner. Goretzka ends the World Cup without earning a single start in favor of Felix Nmecha, playing only 97 minutes at the 2026 World Cup.
Another World Cup appearance
Goretzka is set for another World Cup with Germany and will likely be a starter in the midfield.
Analysis: Goretzka is gearing up for his fourth World Cup this summer, as the midfielder joins Germany and is set to play a key role. The more defensively minded midfielder will likely occupy a starting role in that portion of the midfield, set to start alongside Aleksandar Pavlovic. As a veteran presence in a relatively young squad, he will be tasked with keeping a cool head in the midfield, seeing the ball at his feet to start most attacks from the back. After a successful season with Bayern Munich that saw him earn five goals and three assists in 31 league appearances (25 starts), he should see a few chances to notch a goal contribution, although he will mainly be the anchor in their midfield.
