Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka is known for being an absolute unit - and he looks to have ripped his shirt tensing his arms this evening.

The German midfielder opened the scoring in his side's Champions League clash with Lokomotiv Moscow with a towering header.

He went to the corner to celebrate with teammates and eagle-eyed viewers spotted his arm sleeve had a huge rip.

Knowing the 25-year-old could have the biggest triceps in world football, fans think he did it himself while tensing.









Goretzka has undergone a remarkable body transformation since signing for Bayern in 2018.

He was a slender youngster while at Schalke but has filled out and is now a dominant presence in Hansi Flick's side.

In an interview with Bild per Goal, Goretzka explained his workout programme was designed to increase his size.

"For me, lockdown was both a crisis and an opportunity.

"A crisis because you miss football and daily training with the team, but also a chance to gain muscle mass in co-ordination with the physiotherapist.

"In crucial games and moments, it is important to be physically and mentally fit. The weight helps me in tackles, makes me a bit more agile and robust. Not only on the ground in a one-on-one, but also in the air."

Goretzka also revealed to Bayern's official website per BavarianFootballWorks back in June that the lockdown period helped him stick to a much stricter fitness plan

"I simply used the time to get to the gym more often and to do weight training. Of course everything was discussed with the fitness coaches at Bayern, because you have to be careful not to lose your sprightliness. But I think I've found a good mixture.

"I feel I'm in top form on the pitch right now."
