Watch: Mario Götze: Back Where It All Began

Eintracht Frankfurt’s upcoming game at Borussia Dortmund also marks a return to the sporting roots for Mario Götze. It was here that Germany’s 2014 World Cup final hero rose so spectacularly, and precociously, to fame, turning opposition defences inside-out as the Black-and-Yellows won back-to-back league titles in 2011 and 2012. Now, Götze is the veteran creative string-puller seeking to help Frankfurt into Europe again, with the next stop along the way at his old stomping ground.
