Mario Gotze had won back-to-back league titles and scored the winning goal in the World Cup final, all before he was 20 years old.
He was compared to Lionel Messi. But what followed was a decade of struggle, disappointment and frustration.
But he turned not just his career around, but his life, with a move to the Netherlands, a medical diagnosis, and a distraction from football.
Kaya Kaynak writes, Philippe Fenner illustrates.
