Mario Gomez hits back
GERMANY striker Mario Gomez has hit back at criticism of his display in the 1-0 victory over Portugal, saying that only Lionel Messi scored more goals in the Champions League than him last season.
The Bayern Munich forward headed the winner in the Germans’ opening game. But his all-round display was heavily criticised.
“I have been the most successful striker in the country over the last five or six years,” he said.
“And, after Messi, I have scored the most goals in the Champions League.
“I would like to know why I should change.”
