Florian Wirtz Named Bundesliga Player Of The Season
Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen has been named the Bundesliga’s Player of the Season by the German League on Monday. The midfielder played a key role in helping his club secure their first league title.
Bayer Leverkusen has achieved a historic feat by becoming the first team to go undefeated in a Bundesliga season. They remain unbeaten in all competitions this season, extending their streak to 51 matches. Wirtz has played a significant role in this success, scoring 18 goals in 47 games.
In April, Wirtz made a remarkable impact by scoring a hat-trick after coming off the bench in the 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen. This win secured the Bundesliga title for Leverkusen with five games remaining. The team still has the Europa League and German Cup finals ahead.
The 21-year-old’s outstanding displays earned him three Player of the Month accolades this season. Additionally, he has been included in Germany’s preliminary squad for Euro 2024. In a friendly match against France in March, he scored the sole goal in Germany’s 1-0 victory. The Player of the Month award is determined through a combination of fan votes (40%), club input (30%), and expert opinions (30%).
