“You can tell that pretty easily from my playing time,” Gotze said. “In January, it was a two. Now it’s a nine, and on the way to 10.

“On the one hand, because I am playing almost every game. And on the other hand, because we are doing very well in every competition. This combination gives me a very good feeling.”

Gotze could have returned to Bayern Munich when he decided to stay at PSV but he is not ruling out his return in the future.

“In the summer we spoke openly about my future, about Bayern’s plans. They said that they value me as a person and a player and that they could have taken me back to Bayern again.

“Hansi [Flick] has as tight a schedule at Bayern as I do at PSV. He’s an excellent coach. To take over a team in the middle of the season and lead them to a treble is impressive.
