Thomas Müller Makes 700th Appearance for Bayern Munich
Germany and Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller achieved a significant milestone over the weekend, making his 700th senior appearance for Bayern Munich during their encounter against Heidenheim on Matchday 28.
With a lifelong association with Bayern since joining the club at the age of 10, Müller’s journey to becoming the team’s all-time leading appearance holder has been marked by numerous successes and accolades.
Referred to as the ‘Space Invader’, Müller debuted for Bayern’s senior team under Jürgen Klinsmann against MSV Duisburg in 2008, solidifying his place as a key figure in the club’s history.
Currently trailing behind Bayern’s all-time record holder, Sepp Maier, by just nine games, Müller is on the brink of surpassing the former goalkeeper, depending on Bayern’s performance in European competitions this season.
Amidst the speculation of breaking the club record, Müller remains focused on celebrating his 700th appearance, solidifying his 25-year association with Bayern in style.
Noteworthy for winning 32 trophies with Bayern, including a record 12 Bundesliga titles, Müller stands as one of the most decorated players in the club’s history.
Bayern President Herbert Hainer once commended Müller, stating, ‘His career is littered with records in the history books. Bayern has been shaped by many people, and there will never again be a player like Thomas Müller.’
Hailing from Weilheim in Oberbayern, Müller’s impact on Bayern Munich transcends the field, embodying the essence of loyalty and success within the club’s rich history.
