For me as a German fan I have always loved Ozil and thought that if he was just born 10 years earlier he would've been seen as great as Zidane or Pirlo, but football just evolved past him. I remember watching him and Muller at the 2010 and 2014 world cups and I could not take my eyes off of the screen. It is sad to see his career go from maybe becoming a Real Madrid and Arsenal legend to being someone known for controversy.

What Ozil said wasn’t wrong. Racism existed before BML movement but PL or any other football league did nothing. The only reason they got involved regarding racism is because of public opinion. They don’t care about anyone’s rights as long as they continue to make money. Its never about inclusion as long as they make money.

one of the most underrated midfielders ever, Prime Ozil was unstoppable he stood by what he believed in respect him for it

[Juiceman]

Ozil and Sanchez was a thing of beauty back in the day

[jigsaw]

I fully believe prime Ozil was one of the best playmakers of this generation. Not only did he have impressive stats when it came to chance creation and assist, but just the way he played was simply magical. And as controversial as he was as a player, I massively respect him for not just voicing his beliefs, but refusing to backdown just because of public pressure. He wasn't afraid to call people and organizations out when they deserved it

The streets will never forget players like Ozil, Reus, and prime Hazard.

[Spectr.]

This man has the best ball reception/control skills in the entire world of football.
There is a clip of him here on youtube with 17 years old and he does a reception there that even after i rewatched it 100x, i still dont understand how on earth he managed to do it, this man was such a class... I wont say is a sad story because he seems to be ok with himself, but man, what could have been!

[Trouble_]

Ozil man such a sad story....my favorite playmaker in the history of football..I used to play like him when I was playing football a few year ago

[FarhanPatel-iu]

The greatest Playmaker of All Time
No one can play more beautiful football than him
He would have 500 assists if he stayed at Real Madrid
A wonderful human being too
A Legend on and off the pitch

The first time I saw Ozil play was at the U21 championships. I was not even 12 then. Being from South Africa, those types of matches were rarely on our TVs. I was mesmerised by how good this player was. Came 2010 WC and I got to watch him vs England live. I knew there that this was going to be a star for the future. For over 10 years Ozil has been my favourite player above all. Also as a Real Madrid fan, how things fell into place post WC 2010 made it even more special. I hated the Arsenal move with all my heart because I felt like he was taking a major step back in his career. I would argue this to be true because in all his time Arsenal never built a team good enough compared to for example the currrent team now. The way things ended, I remember I needed to start telling myself that no one has a perfect career and that I should remember him for all the beautiful football he showed us. All in all, I wish he didn't go to Arsenal, his career could have been a lot more fruitful. But for what he did on the pitch, with the ball at his feet. But this is the first time, (I'm 24 btw) I've witnessed an era come to an end. The like of Ronaldo, Messi, Ramos, etc. coming to the end of their careers. As a fan you gotta learn that life goes on. Your GOATs won't play forever.

My favorite player❤ Özil the true passing goat! 🇩🇪🇹🇷

[ILTP]

I think as a fan who prefers the Late 90s through the 2000s he represents the last real #10 and it kinda saddens me to see such an iconic role finally die and to see it happen during a time when there was still a godly talent at the role is upsetting.

[BenDPB]

Very under rated imo, will be one of those players who never gets the credit he deserves but also was not able to adapt to the Premiership and its style of play changing

[cautionninjas]

I loved how he was outspoken on racism in the DFB and defending his fellow Muslims, even at the expense of his likeness, takes guts. Also have the fondest memories watching him win the World Cup with Germany and making so many highlight reels at arsenal

[leo-mf]

Özil's 2010 World Cup goal is one of my favorite goals ever scored!

[ankandatta]

I am lucky to watch something like him. He's a joy to watch

[OcEleven]

Ozil at Arsenal was probably one of the best players the Prem has ever seen, and that linkup with Sanchez was just gold. It’s sad to see such a baller now known for just controversy and scandal

[juliomontenegro]

I am a diehard Barcelona fan but when I was 12 years old watching him play for Madrid I instantly fell in love with how he played. When he went to Arsenal I started watching their games solely because of him and now i’ve been an Arsenal fan for 10 years! Literally fell in love with a club in a different league because of him!

[SouLP]

I'm a huge fan of Schalke 04 (the club where he spent a majority of his youth and where he made the first steps in pro football) and I remember seeing him on the pitch the first times and already thought: Wow, this kid (although he's older than me :D ) will be one of football's greatest.

Mesut Ozil with the talent that he has due to his incredible stint at Real Madrid and he won a World Cup with Germany, the assist numbers he produced and the quality he showed, he had a great career, but it seems like his potential was unfulfilled. Mesut Ozil as a whole lacked consistency in his game and that could be part of why he didn't stay at the top for very long and at Arsenal he was up and down sometimes he played well and other times he was invisible. Another thing that didn't help is that many top teams don't play with a number 10, teams require midfielders that had quality playmaking and also are willing to track back and do the dirty work, have stamina, and defend, he didn't wanna do any of that and he couldn't cope with the demands of the modern game. Mesut Ozil is one of the most talented players of his generation, it just seems like we never saw his true potential and his decline was sad to see because at his peak he was a joy to watch, he never had that consistency in his game.
