Burkardt cracks record: Mainz star crashes a whole team into jubilation!

On May 5, 2025, Jonathan Burkardt from FSV Mainz 05 made a look forward to Eintracht Frankfurt with his last goal. With a total of 16 goals in the current season, he not only set up a club record in the Bundesliga, but also scored more goals than any other player in the history of Mainz 05. This impressive comeback also ended a dry spell of four games without a goal.

Burkardt, who was born on July 11, 2000 in Darmstadt and has been active for Mainz 05 since 2014, has shown a strong range of services this season. In 26 of his 27 games he was in the starting eleven and only missed the initial formation once. In addition, he took first place in the team with 64 goal shots and was able to record two goals, which earned him sixth place in team statistics.

future perspectives and challenges

Despite his sporting success, the future of the striker remains uncertain. Burkardt leaves its options open and has a contract until summer 2027. It is associated with several clubs, including Eintracht Frankfurt, which have already become aware of his achievements. Mainz 05 itself will urgently need to increase - you have not won the last seven games and are currently two points behind sixth place that entitles you to participate in the playoffs in the Conference League.

Trainer Bo Henriksen underlines the need to win victories in the next two games against VfL Bochum on May 10 and Bayer Leverkusen on May 17th. Burkardt was optimistic about the starting situation before the season, but also emphasized the urgency of the upcoming games to maintain the chance of a European qualification.

statistical success

In the current season, Burkardt not only scored goals, but also showed a remarkable activity on the square. In the game against Eintracht Frankfurt, he completed 31 possession phases, fought in 22 duels (7 of them) and covered impressive 11.2 kilometers in the game, flanked by 38 sprints. His extraordinary achievement in 134 Bundesliga games, in which he scored 39 goals and won 45 of these games, strengthens his place in the upper segment of Bundesliga attackers.

Burkardt is currently in 24th place among the current Bundesliga players with 39 goals. Its development from the beginnings at SV Darmstadt 98 (2009-2014) to the record goal shooter in Mainz 05 underlines his great potential. In addition, the talented player has already played three caps for Germany, which illustrates his skills at an international level.

The coming weeks will be decisive for Burkardt and his association Mainz 05. It remains to be seen whether he can maintain his impressive performance and how his future is.
