Leon Goretzka's Resurgence Highlights Bayern's Internal Struggles Under Tuchel

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge criticizes Thomas Tuchel's handling of Leon Goretzka, whose recent performances for Bayern Munich and Germany underscore his professional comeback.

Thomas Tuchel, during his time as Bayern Munich coach, sought to offload Leon Goretzka, citing the need for a defensive midfielder.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed that no Bayern official criticized Goretzka, contrasting Tuchel's approach with the club's stance.
Goretzka regained his form under Vincent Kompany, Tuchel's successor, securing his place in Bayern's starting lineup and earning a recall to the German National Team.
In the Nations League quarterfinal against Italy, Goretzka scored the decisive goal, marking a triumphant return to international football after a 16-month absence.
Tuchel's preferred defensive midfielder, João Palhinha, joined Bayern in 2024, after Tuchel's departure, highlighting the complexities of the transfer saga.
