Fans showered praise on Bayern Munich starlet Aleksandar Pavlovic for his brilliant display against Bayer Leverkusen, during a 1-1 showdown between the two clubs, at the Allianz Arena. The 20-year-old midfielder scored the much-needed equalizer for his side. 

Pavlovic has been a revelation since making his debut for the club in October 2023, coming through the ranks of the Bayern Munich academy. He made 22 appearances last season, scoring two goals and providing two assists, before signing a contract until 2029. Regarded as one of the best under-21 midfielders of the generation, Pavlovic has often been seen as a successor of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos. The midfielder has also sealed a place in the club’s starting XI, over Leon Goretzka.

Against the reigning Bundesliga champions, Pavlovic equalized with a stunning strike into the top right corner from outside the box, past goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky. It marked his first goal of the current season. The defensive midfielder, against Leverkusen, had a Man of the Match outing, as he recorded 101 touches, 90 percent passing accuracy and provided seven long balls. He also attempted four duels, and two tackles, playing a pivotal role in the club’s defense.
