Wirtz scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists in his 32 Bundesliga appearances this season to take the award organised by the DFL and EA Sports, adding to his monthly trophies from October, December and February. The other winners of the Player of the Month titles were VfB Stuttgart duo Serhou Guirassy (September and March) and Deniz Undav (November and January), as well as Bayer 04 teammates Victor Boniface (August) and Alejandro Grimaldo (April).

Unsurprisingly, the Player of the Season also earned a place in the Bundesliga’s Team of the Season for 2023/24. He also won Germany’s 2023 Goal of the Year vote by Sportschau for his individual effort against Freiburg last autumn.
