If Borussia Dortmund are to have any chance of overturning Bayern Munich's two-point lead in their final three Bundesliga games, they are going to need Mario Goetze to be at his very best.
Dortmund will need the 26-year-old Goetze, who has provided six goals and seven assists this season, more than ever as captain Marco Reus will be suspended for two of their final three games following his sending-off in the 4-2 defeat by Schalke 04 last Saturday. To have any realistic chance of denying Bayern a seventh successive title, Dortmund will have to take maximum points from their remaining games, starting with their visit to ninth-placed Werder Bremen on Sunday morning .
They will also have to hope that Bayern lose at least one game - not likely tomorrow when the Bavarians host bottom-of-the-table Hannover 96, but a possibility when they visit third-placed RB Leipzig in their penultimate game.Goetze, raised at Dortmund and given his debut as a 17-year-old by Juergen Klopp, was once regarded as one of the top young talents in Europe.
At 22, he scored the only goal in the 2014 World Cup final but by that time he was already at Bayern Munich where, although far from a flop, he failed to hit the expected heights.
