Lars Edi Stindl (born 26 August 1988) is a German former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or forward.
During the span of his career, Stindl had previously played for Karlsruher SC, Hannover 96, and most recognizably Borussia Mönchengladbach. He had also represented the Germany national team. He scored the only goal in the final of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup against Chile to ensure Germany's first ever title in the tournament.[3]
Club career
[edit | edit source]Born in Speyer, Stindl began his career in the youth teams for TSV Wiesental and joined a similar setup at Karlsruher SC in summer 2000.[4] He started his professional career with Karlsruher SC, making his first appearance on 15 March 2008 in the Bundesliga. He was substituted on in the 81st minute in a 1–0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. On 29 November 2008, Stindl scored his first Bundesliga goal against Hannover 96. In February 2010, he announced his intention to leave Karlsruher SC. On 16 March 2010, his transfer to Hannover 96 was confirmed.[5]
On 25 March 2015, it was confirmed that Stindl had signed for Borussia Mönchengladbach on a one-year contract, running for the duration of the2015–16 season.[6]
On 8 August 2015, he marked his competitive debut by scoring a brace in a 4–1 win at FC St. Pauli in the first round of the 2015–16 DFB-Pokal.[7]
On 1 August 2016, Stindl was confirmed as Gladbach's new captain after the retirement of previous captain Martin Stranzl and the transfer of vice-captain Granit Xhaka to Arsenal.[8]
On 23 February 2017, Stindl scored a hat-trick at ACF Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi, as Borussia overturned a 3–0 aggregate deficit to qualify for the UEFA Europa League Round of 16.[9]
On 15 December 2020, Stindl scored another hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. Two of the goals came after the 90th minute.[10]
In April 2023, Gladbach announced that Stindl would depart the club at the end of the 2022–23 season when his contract would expire, having played eight years for the club and spent seven of those years as the club's captain.[11][12]
On 28 April 2023, Stindl's former club Karlsruher SC announced that he would rejoin when he left Gladbach, having been absent from the club for 16 years. On 11 August 2023, he scored his first goal for the club since returning in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against 1. FC Saarbrücken. Despite this, his side got knocked out of the competition.
On 28 March 2024, Stindl announced that he would retire from football at the end of the season.[13][14] He played in more than 430 league matches across both of the first and second division of the German league pyramids.[15]
International career
[edit | edit source]Youth
[edit | edit source]Stindl is a former Germany U20 international and has won one cap for the Germany U21.[16]
Senior
[edit | edit source]Stindl was first called up to the senior national team in May 2017, for the friendly against Denmark on 6 June 2017, for the 2018 World Cup qualification match against San Marino on 10 June 2017 and for the 2017 Confederations Cup to be held from 17 June to 2 July 2017.[17]
Stindl made his international debut on the 6 June match against Denmark, where he started the game and played the full 90 minutes.[18]
In the opening game of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup against Australia, Stindl scored his first goal for Germany in the fifth minute of the match.[19] He followed this up with his second international goal in Germany's 1–1 draw with Chile three days later.[20] He repeated the feat against the same opposition in the final of the tournament, scoring the only goal of the match to help Germany claim the title, finishing as joint top goalscorer with three goals.[21]
On 14 November 2017, he scored a vital equaliser in the 90th minute of a friendly against France (which was the last friendly match of Germany in that year and Germans were lagging behind by 1–2), which ensured Germany's unbeaten streak remaining alive in 2017.[22] His eleventh and final appearance for the national team was a 0–1 loss against Brazil in March 2018.[23]
