Leon Goretzka's super-fans storm Bayern Munich training in wild scenes

Leon Goretzka's super-fans storm Bayern Munich training in wild scenes

Leon Goretzka's army of passionate supporters took their devotion to new heights on Thursday, shaking up Bayern Munich's preparations with an unexpected outburst.

Local outlet TZ Munchen reported that a group of teenagers infiltrated the usually private training session at Sabener Strasse, loudly chanting the midfielder's name and causing a stir.

Bayern, known for their disciplined setup, had scheduled a closed-door session to sharpen their focus ahead of upcoming fixtures.

However, the youngsters' relentless shouts pierced through the calm, forcing security to step in and restore order. The noise levels hit such a peak that guards had no choice but to act swiftly, chasing off the culprits who bolted from the scene shortly after.

This chaotic moment reflects a growing trend among Goretzka's fanbase, who have made a habit of roaring his name wherever he goes, whether it's during matches, warm-ups, or even as the Bayern squad move to and from their team bus.

The 30-year-old, a combative force in the heart of Bayern's midfield, has taken it all in his stride, rarely showing signs of being rattled by the attention.

"He's a player who thrives under pressure, on and off the pitch," former Bayern star Lothar Matthäus once said of Goretzka, praising his ability to stay cool-headed.

That composure has been evident as this social media-fuelled 'Goretzka mania' continues to gather pace, with clips of fans bellowing his name popping up across platforms like X in recent weeks.

Bayern themselves have yet to comment officially on the incident, but head coach Vincent Kompany has previously spoken highly of Goretzka's impact. "He's a role model for the whole team," Kompany said earlier this season after the midfielder's match-winning brace against Wolfsburg.

With the Bavarians chasing Bundesliga glory and a deep Champions League run, they'll hope their midfield dynamo can channel this wild support into more standout performances.

As of Friday morning, posts on X from Bayern fans suggested the club were amused but unfazed by the disruption, with one supporter joking, "Goretzka's fan club are louder than our ultras!" For now, the former Schalke man remains a fan favourite, and a headache for security teams, at Sabener Strasse.
