#4 Mario Gotze
Mario Gotze will forever be remembered as the man who scored the defining goal in the final of the 2014 World cup against Argentina that helped his country lift the coveted trophy after a gap of 24 years. The 22-year-old scored the winning goal in Germany’s 2-2 draw against Ghana and played only 14 minutes in his country’s 1-0 win over the United States and was on the field for only 7 minutes during Germany’s quarter-final win over France.
Gotze didn't play until the dying minutes of his country’s 7-1 mauling of Brazil in the semi-final. But he rose to fame on the biggest night of all, scoring the solitary goal in extra time that helped his country win the World Cup.
However, Gotze had a mixed debut season for Bayern Munich, scoring 15 goals in 44 games across all competitions and he will be hoping to do much better in the upcoming season.
