Plea scored his ninth goal of the season against Eintracht, slotting home after a pass from Stefan Lainer. He then netted his tenth goal of the campaign against Hoffenheim on the final day, showcasing his nerves from the penalty spot.
Breel Embolo: The Swiss international delivered a series of strong performances in May. He set up a goal in the 3-1 win against Leipzig as well as the 5-1 triumph over Hoffenheim, scoring once himself. The 25-year-old was involved in eight goals in the last eight matches of the season (6 goals, 2 assists), and ended the 2021/22 Bundesliga campaign with nine goals and four assists.
