Before the FC Bayern women's Champions League match against PSG, Leon Goretzka addressed the fans of the German Bundesliga record champions on Instagram.
Munich – Leon Goretzka is no longer just a footballer at FC Bayern Munich*.
But now also a celebrated star on Instagram.
2.1 million followers are the best proof of his popularity on social media.
And the many positive comments that the 27-year-old midfield strategist receives on his postings on social media.
FC Bayern Munich: Leon Goretzka is considered an Instagram star
An example: When the Bochum native posted photos of his rehabilitation training in the aqua gym in mid-January - Bayern favorite Goretzka showed his impressive "muscle package" on Instagram.
The opinionated FCB professional also repeatedly attracts attention through socially critical contributions - whether on Instagram or in interviews.
Goretzka has now posted such a critical post on Instagram.
Specifically: He called on the fans of FC Bayern to support the women of the German Bundesliga record champions * in the important quarter-final first leg in the Uefa Women's Champions League in large numbers and loudly.

The Bayern women will play it on Tuesday evening, March 22, from 6.45 p.m. in the Allianz Arena in Fröttmaning.
Otherwise they play in a much smaller stadium on the campus of the Bundesliga giants*, which is also in the north of Munich.

In the post he can be seen in a video – but instead of his voice, that of a young woman can be heard.
"I come from the Ruhr area, play in midfield at FC Bayern and in the national team," says the voice, which is then resolved: "That's me, Linda Dallmann.
But it could also have been Leon.” The 27-year-old Dallmann comes from Dinslaken on the city limits of Duisburg and Essen - and thus from the middle of the Ruhr area.

For classification: According to the specialist magazine Kicker
, the FCB women
otherwise play on campus in front of an average of 845 spectators.
Honorary President Uli Hoeneß was considered to be a great supporter of women's football, which apparently does not find the desired popularity among Bayern fans.
In the women's soccer Bundesliga, the Munich team is in fourth place in the spectator table, which is led by Eintracht Frankfurt (1160 fans on average) and Turbine Potsdam (1060).

Goretzka obviously thinks that's not enough.
He wrote in a comment on his post on Monday: "We are both leaders at FC Bayern & play in midfield.
But only one of us gets the attention it deserves.
Time to change that!
Show your support tomorrow in the Allianz Arena!”
