"This club deserves it," wrote Guirassy on X, formerly Twitter.

The lanky forward has been key to Stuttgart's success this season, becoming the first player in the history of the club to score 25 Bundesliga goals in the ongoing campaign, per Transfermarkt.

Twelve months ago, Stuttgart were battling for survival and only remained in the league via a relegation play-off.

They will now join new German champions Bayer Leverkusen, UEFA Champions League semi-finalists Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig as the Bundesliga representatives in next year's competition.
