World Cup 2026 Preview

Florian Wirtz is Germany's most exciting young talent and enters his first World Cup as one of the most coveted players in world football. The Bayer Leverkusen playmaker was the driving force behind their historic unbeaten Bundesliga title in 2024, earning Player of the Season honors. At 23, Wirtz combines silky dribbling with exceptional vision and an eye for goal that belies his age. His ability to operate between the lines, find pockets of space, and create chances for teammates makes him the creative fulcrum of Julian Nagelsmann's Germany side. Playing on home-continent soil in North America, Die Mannschaft will look to Wirtz to provide the spark that has been missing in recent tournaments. With Jamal Musiala alongside him, Germany boast one of the most exciting young attacking duos in the competition.
