The national player has been named Germany’s footballer of the year for the first time!
In the journalists’ vote organized by “Kicker”, he clearly prevailed with 198 votes against Bundesliga strikers Niclas Füllkrug (30/Werder Bremen; 88 votes) and Randal Kolo Muani (24/Eintracht Frankfurt; 69 votes).
Gündogan captained Manchester City to the treble last season and played 51 games. The only drawback: the elimination in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar.

The 67-time international about his award: “It feels like a reward for hard work. I see it as a very, very nice recognition.”
He received great praise from his national team colleague Leroy Sané (27), among others: “This award is absolutely deserved. Ilkay has worked a lot for this in recent years. His performances, especially in the closing stages of the season at Manchester City, were incredible. I’m happy for him that he’s now also being given the appropriate appreciation in Germany.”
The chapter ended with the Citizens in the summer and Gündogan will play for FC Barcelona in the future.

Fischer: “But you won’t be able to do it as an individual, behind such an award there is always a team, a club. They all help that you can receive such an honor at the end.”
His coaching colleague Streich, who received the award last year, says about Fischer: “Urs and Union Berlin have worked smart and have achieved great things since they were promoted to the Bundesliga.”
