Mini bio
How it started.

He joined Liverpool in July 2014 and played in defence and midfield. His overhead-kick winner at Watford became the Premier League’s Goal of the Season for 2016/17. Juventus followed in 2018, then Dortmund in January 2020.

Can won the DFB-Pokal with Dortmund in 2021 and succeeded Marco Reus as captain in 2023. Away from matches, he joined Pamela Reif for the first episode of BVB’s Stay Fit workout series, giving fans an ab routine to try at home.
