Once a youth player at FC Bayern, Aleksandar Pavlovic has established himself as an integral part of the German record champions‘ professional team and the DFB. The midfielder has now revealed which player has been a role model for him since childhood – and how he differs from him.

Aleksandar Pavlovic has already had to overcome a number of setbacks in his young professional career, including missing out on the 2024 European Championship at home due to injury and illness

The 21-year-old has evidently drawn new strength from these setbacks: he is once again playing a key role for Munich this season under coach Vincent Kompany, which recently prompted him to make a clear statement: „I want to become the best number 6 in the world“

Pavlovic has also fought his way back into the DFB’s starting line-up and is likely to be a starter ahead of the final two World Cup qualifiers in Luxembourg and against Slovakia. Pavlovic’s upturn in form means that he is also competing with his experienced team-mate at FC Bayern and in the national team, Leon Goretzka

Pavlovic sets himself high goals and looks to one superstar in particular to help him achieve them: „My idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. I’ve looked up to him ever since I was little. That will to work and that ’never give up‘ have shaped me a lot. He’s achieved everything there is to achieve,“ he said in an interview with Focus Online and ran

However, he differs from the exceptional Portuguese footballer in one respect: while Pavlovic is more of a quiet representative, CR7 often polarizes with his self-confident and glamorous manner: „No, I’ll never be that guy. I don’t need so much attention. I just want to show what I can do on the pitch,“ said the Munich-born player modestly

If Pavlovic remains injury-free, he can go a long way perhaps with a mixture of Ronaldo’s virtues and his own personality.
