Handsome Soccer Star - Mario Gomez, German footballer

Mario Gómez García (born 10 July 1985 in Riedlingen) is a German footballer who plays as a striker for FC Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Gómez joined Bayern after six years in Stuttgart. The fee was a record for a player transferred in the Bundesliga, estimated to be €30–35 million. When Stuttgart became champions in 2006–07, Gómez contributed 14 goals and was elected German footballer of the year.

Gómez was raised in Unlingen, an Upper Swabian village in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany about 95 km south of Stuttgart and 175 km west of Munich. He was born in the nearby town of Riedlingen. Gómez is of German-Spanish descent (his father is a Spaniard from Granada and his mother is German). He has both German and Spanish citizenship and decided to play for the German national team. His first appearance for the team was in February 2007 against Switzerland and he has been called up regularly since.
