Kai Havertz

Analysis: Havertz had a highlight performance Sunday, as the German forward recorded a goal from the penalty spot in stoppage time of the first half before netting the final goal of the game in the 88th minute, earning a brace. He would do this on four shots, with only his two goals being his lone shots on net. This is a bright sign for the future as Germany looks to make a run, although he is being closely trailed by Deniz Undav after he recorded two assists and a goal after entering the match. Havertz should still maintain the starting role, an influential piece for the squad.

Leading German frontline

Havertz is set to start at forward for Germany at the 2026 World Cup.

Analysis: Havertz is heading to the World Cup and is set for a major role with Germany, as he is likely to start most games at forward for the club. After starting the season injured and not playing much, he would pick up the pace, notching six goals and four assists in 18 appearances (nine starts) between UCL and league play. That said, he will see plenty of chances for goal contributions, not only as a forward who can find the back of the net but also as a provider of great hold-up play for assists. He will also see some corner and penalty duties if the right situations arise, giving him even more added value. He could find himself as one of the more productive forwards in the group stage, based on the other three teams Germany will face, although he could be held back a bit by rotation if they find themselves in a comfortable spot through two games.
