Milestone at VfB: Undav picks his five favourite goals for Stuttgart | OneFootball

Deniz Undav has reached an impressive personal milestone: With his goal to make it 1-0 in VfB Stuttgart’s home win against VfL Wolfsburg, the striker scored his 50th competitive goal for VfB.

"I have felt a lot of love at VfB from day one," says Undav, who has been playing in Stuttgart since the summer of 2023, speaking to the club’s own media. "That’s why it means a lot to me to even come close to such a number." For him, one thing is clear: "Without them, I wouldn’t have scored a single goal." With these words, he thanks his teammates for their support on and off the pitch.

When asked, the VfB goal-getter named his five favorite goals for the Swabians.

"The goal against Real Madrid is definitely one of my highlights. Champions League with VfB, the equalizer at the Bernabéu, celebrating with teammates and fans – those are indescribable experiences. Even though we unfortunately lost the match in the end, it remains something very special for me. Despite the defeat, we put in a good performance in Madrid."

May 24, 2025, DFB-Pokal, Final: VfB – Arminia Bielefeld (4:2)

"This goal has to be in my ‘Top 5’, that’s certainly no surprise. It was a big game in front of a huge crowd, I was able to score the interim 3-0 and won my first title with VfB. In the days before, I told the guys in the locker room several times that I would score – luckily, I kept my word (laughs)."

October 26, 2025, Bundesliga, Matchday 8: VfB – 1. FSV Mainz 05 (2:1)

"I still remember exactly how this goal came about. Alex (Alexander Nübel, editor’s note) set me up with a long ball that the Mainz defense couldn’t stop – then I chipped the ball over their keeper into the net. It was my first goal after my medial ligament injury and at the same time the winning goal in a tight match that we managed to turn in our favor with a team effort."

November 6, 2025, UEFA Europa League, league phase: VfB – Feyenoord Rotterdam (2:0)

"Scoring on the European stage is always something special. That’s why the goal to make it 2-0 against Feyenoord is also on my list. It was a crucial game in the league phase, and there was already some pressure on the match. We stood firm as a team. It was also my first goal in the competition, so I remember it positively for that reason as well."

November 22, 2025, Bundesliga, Matchday 11: Borussia Dortmund – VfB (3:3)

"This game was crazy. Constant ups and downs. We came back from 0-2 in Dortmund and I was able to score three goals in one half. The third goal is the one I want to highlight – because it describes me perfectly: I shield the ball in the box, turn, and finish into the corner. The energy and emotions around the 3-3 were sensational."
