to the relegation play-offs'), Ramy Bensebaïni ('liability'), Mitchell Weiser ('facilitated too many
goals against'), Christian Günter ('lost his energy'), David Raum ('disappointing'), João Cancelo

Here is another example of a rating system that makes no sense. Wirtz (who I had high hopes for at one time) has been injured and missed over half the season
and scored a grand total of one goal. He is somehow > above Musiala, who was bayerns only one good offensive player, scoring lots of goals. ANd lets not even talk about Brandt being in the list period.
Typical for Frankfurt's season, there were three Eintracht players listed as
International Class in the Winter ranking, and now Götze in 11th is the only one
remaining (gone missing have Lindstrøm and Kamada).

The last time Gündoğan (or any German abroad) was considered World Class was in Winter 2020/21.
Pascal Groß has been on the periphery of these lists for many years, but this
is the first time he's been, deservedly, ranked international class - at the age
of 32. Which means that time is running out if he ever wants to be capped
by the German National Team (but he's half a year younger than Gündoğan).
