Patrik Schick (born 24 January 1996) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a striker for Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen and the Czech Republic national team.

Key Information

Born in Prague, Schick began his career with local club Sparta Prague, rising through their youth ranks, before making his senior debut as a teenager. He spent the 2015–16 season on loan with Bohemians 1905, from where he moved at the age of 20 to Sampdoria in Italy. After his debut season in Italy, he moved to Roma in 2017. Having spent three years in Italy, Schick moved to Germany in 2019 to join RB Leipzig on a season-long loan before moving to Bayer Leverkusen on a permanent basis in September 2020. There he won a domestic double of the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal in 2024.

Formerly an international at under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19, and under-21 levels, Schick made his senior debut for the Czech Republic in May 2016 at the age of 20. He has since helped the national team reach the quarter-finals of the European Championship in 2021, where he won both the Goal of the Tournament and the Silver Boot awards as the joint-highest goalscorer of the tournament.

Club career

[edit]

Sparta Prague

[edit]

Patrik Schick was born in Prague and spotted by Sparta Prague when he was 11 years old.[3] He made his top-flight debut for Sparta on 3 May 2014 in a 3–1 away loss at Teplice. Sparta would win the domestic double that campaign but four appearances over two campaigns meant Schick crossed town to join Bohemians 1905 on loan for the 2015–16 season.[3][4] He scored 8 goals in 27 outings for Bohemians during a relegation battle.[5][6] Schick returned to Sparta and was expected to feature prominently for the club during the 2016–17 season, but David Lafata was preferred and when Sparta offered Schick a new contract, his agent turned it down.[6]

Sampdoria

[edit]

Schick signed for Serie A club Sampdoria in June 2016 for a reported fee of €4 million.[7] In his first season in Italy, he appeared in 32 league matches and scored 11 goals for Sampdoria.[5] He started 14 times and was able to score once every 137 minutes.[5]

In May 2017, Schick refused to extend his contract, expecting a transfer to another club.[8] In June 2017, Juventus triggered the release clause of a reported €30 million on Schick's contract.[9] Schick failed two separate medicals and Juventus backed out of the deal on 18 July.[10][11]

Roma

[edit]

On 29 August 2017, Schick joined Roma on loan for a fee of €5 million with an option to buy for a further €9 million,[12] once certain sporting objectives had been achieved, that could be rising up to a club record €40 million fee, which turn out to be unavailable.[6][13] Upon signing, Roma sporting director Monchi described Schick as "one of the brightest prospects in international football."[14] Schick spent most of his spell at Roma playing out on the right wing or left up front by himself, and he scored only eight times in 58 games.[14]

2019–20: Loan to RB Leipzig

[edit]

On 2 September 2019, Bundesliga club RB Leipzig announced the signing of Schick on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy him permanently.[15] His first goal for Leipzig came in a 3–2 defeat of SC Paderborn on 11 November 2019.[16] This started a run of three goals in four league appearances including coming off the bench to complete the comeback and secure a 3–3 draw with Borussia Dortmund.[3][17] Alongside Timo Werner, Schick rekindled his form with 10 goals in 28 games for Leipzig as the club finished in third place in the Bundesliga and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.[14][18]

Bayer Leverkusen

[edit]

2020–21: Debut season

[edit]

On 8 September 2020, Schick joined Bayer Leverkusen on a five-year contract for a reported fee of €26.5 million plus bonuses, getting the number 14 on his jersey.[19][20][21]

Schick scored his first goal in a UEFA competition on 26 November 2020, coming in a 4–1 victory over Israeli club Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the group stage of the Europa League.[22] On 19 December 2020, Schick scored a volley against Bayern Munich in a 2–1 loss for Leverkusen.[23][24] He was the preferred centre-forward for much of the 2020–21 campaign at the BayArena and finished with nine strikes across 29 league games.[3]

2021–22: Record breaking season

[edit]

On 4 October 2021, Schick scored his first brace for Leverkusen and provided an assist against Arminia Bielefeld which ended a 4-0 win.[25] Schick continued his goalscoring threat scoring once in the next two league games against 1. FC Köln and Bayern Munich before he tore his ankle ligament.[26][27][28] On 4 December 2021, Schick scored four goals and provided an assist – all in the second half – in a 7–1 victory against Greuther Fürth, which is the most goals in a single game from an individual in Leverkusen's history.[29] He continued his good form in Leverkusen's next two league games, scoring a brace in each match against Eintracht Frankfurt (not only a brace but also the 5000th penalty scored in the Bundesliga's history),[30][31] and TSG Hoffenheim respectively.[32] Because of this, Schick won Bundesliga Player of the month by scoring eight goals and one assist in the four matches he played.[33] In the first half of the season, Schick scored 16 goals in 14 games, while also missing a few games due to injury, and was only behind Robert Lewandowski in the top goalscoring charts.[34]

Following the mid-season winter break, Schick scored four times in six league matches. In the sixth game against Mainz 05 he scored from a long range shot outside the box, but in the 49th minute of the same game, he tore his muscle fibre in the calf region, causing him to miss the following six games.[35] He scored four goals and provided two assists in the last four matchdays of the 2021–22 season, most notably a double against Hoffenheim, which secured his club's place for Champions League for the following season, and just missing out on the goalscoring record held by Stefan Kießling by a single goal. He ended the season as the league's second highest scorer with 24 goals in 27 matches, while winning Leverkusen's player of the season award,[36] then extended his contract with the club until 2027.[37]

[edit]

On 30 November 2023, Schick returned from a long-time injury with a goal in a 2–0 away victory against BK Häcken in the 2023–24 Europa League,[45] then went on to score five more goals and provide one assist in six more matches in all competitions.

During the first leg in Baku, he scored the equalizing stoppage-time goal for Leverkusen, ending in a 2–2 draw.[48] In the following leg, he scored two stoppage-time goals to end the game in a 3–2 victory.[49] On 30 March, he scored a stoppage-time winner in a 2–1 victory over Hoffenheim, which secured his club's qualification for the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League group stage on matchday 27.[50] On matchday 32 against Eintracht Frankfurt, Schick scored a header in a 5–1 victory for Leverkusen to extend their 48-game unbeaten streak.[51] In matchday 33 against Vfl Bochum, Schick scored the opening goal of a 5–0 Leverkusen win, making history as the club's 50th game unbeaten.[52] On the final matchday in the Bundesliga season Schick was a part of the first ever unbeaten Bundesliga season with Leverkusen.[53] In the DfB-Pokal final against FC Kaiserslautern, Schick helped his team win it to make it a special double trophy winning season, then he prepared for the upcoming Euro 2024.[54][55]

2024–25: Defending champions

[edit]

In the 2024 DFL-Supercup at the start of the season against VfB Stuttgart, Schick scored an equaliser in the 88th minute to make the score 2–2 and bring on a penalty shoot-out, during which he scored and Leverkusen won 4–3 to win their first ever Supercup.[56] On 23 November, Schick scored a hat-trick against Heidenheim in a 5–2 comeback victory.[57] Three days later, he netted his first UEFA Champions League goal in a 5–0 victory over Red Bull Salzburg.[58] On Schick's 100th league appearance in a match against Union Berlin on 30 November, Schick scored in a 2–1 victory.[59] On 21 December, Schick scored four goals in a 5–1 win over Freiburg, surpassing Jan Koller's 61 goal record for Czech players in the league.[60][61] On 5 February 2025, he netted a brace, including a stoppage-time equalizer, against 1.

UEFA Euro 2020

[edit]

On 25 May 2021, Schick was included in the Czech Republic's final 26-man squad for the postponed UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.[70] In the first group stage match against Scotland on 14 June at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Schick scored both goals as the Czech Republic won 2–0.[71] The second strike from the halfway line was the longest-recorded goal at the Euros since 1980 at 45 metres (49 yd). The goal was later voted as the "goal of the tournament",[72][71][73] and was nominated for the FIFA Puskás Award.[74][75] He became the first Czech footballer since Tomáš Rosický at the 2006 FIFA World Cup to score a brace at a major tournament and Milan Baroš in 2004 to do so at the European Championship.[71][76]

Against Croatia on 18 June, Schick scored from a penalty to help his nation earn a 1–1 draw.[77] On 27 June, he scored his fourth goal of the tournament in the Czech Republic's victory over the Netherlands in the round of 16.[78] On 3 July, he scored in a 2–1 controversial defeat against Denmark in the quarter-finals to equal Milan Baroš' record of five goals for the Czech Republic in a European Championship tournament.[79][80] Alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, he was the UEFA Euro 2020 joint top scorer with five goals, with the higher number of goals scored from open play.[81]

2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying

[edit]

In the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers against Belarus, Schick scored and provided Hlozek's first goal for the national team, and it ended a comfortable 2–0 win.[82] He was injured for the remaining fixtures and the Czechs failed to qualify.[83] On 27 September 2022, in a match against Switzerland in the Nations League, Schick scored a goal after being injured for many months and sidelined away from the national team for almost one year, but the Czechs lost 2–1.[84]

UEFA Euro 2024

[edit]

On 29 May 2024, Schick was included in the final Czech squad for the UEFA Euro 2024.[85] On 10 June, the nation's final pre-tournament match against North Macedonia, Schick had a goal ruled offside,[86] but went on to score from the penalty spot in a 2–1 victory for the Czechs.[87] In the tournament, he scored the equaliser against Georgia in a 1–1 group stage draw, which was also his 20th goal for the national team,[88] only to suffer from a calf injury ten minutes later.[89]

2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying

[edit]

On 22 March 2025, Schick scored both of his nation's goals against Faroe Islands in a 2-1 victory to start the Czech Republic's campaign. [90] On 25 March, he scored once against Gibraltar in a 4–0 victory. By doing so, he became the top scorer at that point in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA) with three goals. [91] On 6 June 2025 Schick scored yet again against Montenegro, to remain top goal scorer with 4 goals. [92]

Style of play

[edit]

Although Schick mostly plays in a central role as a main striker, due to his eye for goal, heading accuracy, and striking ability with his left foot, he is also capable of playing as a second striker or as a right winger.[93][94][95] He can utilise his physique to hold up the ball with his back to goal, but is also a quick, elegant and agile player, who possesses good technique and dribbling skills, as well as good link-up play, which enables him to play the ball first time, participate in the build-up of attacking plays and provide assists.[93][95] Schick is also known for his signature celebration: every time he scores a goal, he flexes his muscles in front of the fans.[96]

Personal life

[edit]

Schick has an older sister, Kristýna Schicková (born 31 July 1994), who is a model and a social media influencer.[97][98] In his teenage years, Schick considered a career as a model but focused on competitive football instead. Growing up, his footballing hero was Manchester United player Wayne Rooney.[6]

In July 2020, Schick married his long-time girlfriend Hana Běhounková (born 1996). They have two children named Victoria and Nico, born in October 2020 and 2021 respectively.[99]

Club career

Sparta Prague (2014–2016)

Patrik Schick was born on 24 January 1996 in , . He joined the youth academy of his boyhood club Sparta Prague at the age of 11 in 2007, progressing through the ranks over the next seven years. Schick made his league debut for Sparta Prague on 3 May 2014 in a 3–1 away win against , entering as a substitute. His first appearance came later that year, with his first senior goal scored on 18 November 2014 in a 1–1 draw against 1.FK . Limited opportunities followed in the 2014–15 season, with Schick making just four league appearances without scoring, though Sparta Prague secured the domestic double that year. To gain more playing time, Schick was loaned to city rivals for the 2015–16 season. He featured in 28 appearances across all competitions, scoring 8 goals, which helped the team in their battle to avoid relegation from the , finishing 13th. During this period, Schick earned his first call-ups to the Czech Republic's youth international teams, including the under-21 side. Upon returning to Prague, Schick was expected to feature prominently in the 2016–17 season. However, he transferred to Italian club Sampdoria for a fee of €4 million (potentially rising to €5.5 million with bonuses) on 13 July 2016, marking the end of his career. Across all competitions during his time at from 2014 to 2016, Schick made 10 appearances and scored 1 goal for the senior team, though his loan spell added significant experience.

Sampdoria (2016–2017)

Schick joined club Sampdoria from on July 13, 2016, in a transfer reported at €4 million. He signed a four-year contract and began training with the team immediately after passing his medical in . Schick made his debut on August 21, 2016, as a substitute in a 2-1 home win against , though he did not score. He marked his first start on October 26, 2016, scoring a consolation goal in a 4-1 away defeat to Juventus, lobbing the from outside the box in the 57th minute. During the 2016–17 season, Schick adapted quickly to Italian football, emerging as a key forward with his physical presence, aerial ability, and clinical finishing. In league play, Schick featured in 32 matches, starting 14, and netted 11 goals, averaging a strike every 223 minutes. His goals included a brace in a 3-1 home victory over on March 4, 2017, where he opened the scoring with a left-footed volley from a Bruno Fernandes cross. These performances helped Sampdoria secure a 10th-place finish in Serie A with 48 points from 12 wins, 12 draws, and 14 losses. Across all competitions, he made 35 appearances and scored 13 goals, including two in the Coppa Italia against Cagliari. Schick's breakout campaign drew interest from top clubs, culminating in a protracted summer 2017 transfer saga with Juventus. An agreement worth €30 million plus bonuses was reached, but the deal collapsed after Schick failed two medical examinations due to a detected heart inflammation. He underwent further tests, which cleared him for play, leading to a club-record move to Roma on August 29, 2017, structured as a €5 million loan with an obligation to buy for €34 million, potentially rising to €42 million with add-ons.

Roma (2017–2019)

Patrik Schick joined from Sampdoria on August 29, 2017, on an initial loan deal worth €5 million, with an obligation to purchase for an additional €34 million, potentially rising to €42 million including bonuses. The transfer followed a collapsed deal with Juventus earlier that summer, where medical tests revealed a that delayed proceedings but was cleared for Roma. In the 2017–18 season, Schick made his debut as a substitute on September 20, 2017, in a 3–0 home win over Hellas Verona. He appeared in 22 matches across all competitions, scoring 5 goals, but his integration was hindered by recurrent muscular injuries—including a strain shortly after his debut and a hip issue—and competition from established striker for the central forward role. Despite these challenges, Schick featured in Roma's campaign, playing in both legs of the round-of-16 tie against Shakhtar Donetsk—where Roma advanced on away goals after a 2–2 aggregate—and earning limited minutes in the quarterfinals against . The 2018–19 season saw Schick's role further diminish under manager , who favored other options in attack amid Roma's transitional phase. He recorded 3 goals in 17 appearances, totaling 21 outings across all competitions as his opportunities remained sporadic due to tactical preferences and squad depth. Over his two full seasons with Roma prior to his loan departure, Schick amassed 58 appearances and 8 goals in all competitions. The arrival of additional attacking talents in 2019 prompted the club to loan him out, seeking to provide him with more consistent playing time elsewhere amid heightened competition up front.

Loan to RB Leipzig (2019–2020)

On 2 September 2019, loaned Patrik Schick to for the 2019–20 season, with the club paying a fee of €3.5 million plus up to €0.5 million in performance-related add-ons; the deal included an option for Leipzig to buy him permanently. The move came after a challenging spell at Roma, where injuries and inconsistent playing time had limited Schick to just 4 goals in 34 appearances over two seasons, prompting the search for a fresh start in . Schick made his Bundesliga debut for Leipzig on 5 October 2019, coming on as a substitute in the 70th minute during a 1–1 draw away to Bayer Leverkusen. He scored his first goal for the club on 30 November 2019, netting the opener in a 3–2 home victory over SC Paderborn 07.
