**Thomas Müller Breaks Records and Wins Titles in Remarkable FC Bayern Munich Career**
Thomas Müller, the versatile German forward, has cemented his status as one of FC Bayern Munich's greatest legends with his impressive records and achievements over an illustrious career.
Müller, who joined Bayern in 2009, has played 756 games for the club across all competitions, making him the club's all-time record appearance holder[2]. He has also provided a staggering 276 assists, the highest in Bayern's history[2].
Müller's trophy cabinet is equally impressive, with the striker having won 33 major titles with Bayern. These include 13 Bundesliga titles, a record number of league championships[3][4], 8 UEFA Champions League titles, 6 DFL-Supercup titles and 2 UEFA Super Cups, 6 DFB-Pokal (German Cup) titles, and he has won the FIFA Club World Cup twice[1].
In the Champions League, Müller has set several records. He has scored 56 goals, the most by a German player and sixth all-time overall[1]. He has also made 163 appearances, setting the record for most appearances for a single club, surpassing Xavi Hernández[1]. With 111 wins in the Champions League, only Cristiano Ronaldo has more victories (115)[1].
In the Bundesliga, Müller ranks 4th in Bayern’s goal scorers with 150 goals, and he has played 67 games in the DFB-Pokal, the most for a Bayern player and sixth overall in the competition’s history, winning 58 of those matches[1].
Recently, Müller set a new record in the 2019/20 Bundesliga season, providing 21 assists for his teammates, a record since detailed data collection began[1]. He has also won an unprecedented 362 games in the Bundesliga, a record that no other player has achieved[1].
However, Müller's departure from Bayern was not accompanied by a victory, as the team lost the match in which he was substituted in for Kingsley Coman in the 80th minute[1].
Müller's records and achievements place him among the elite in European football. He is one of only four players to have played in the most different seasons for a club in the Bundesliga, and only Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, and Lionel Messi have played more games in the Champions League than Müller[1].
Müller's legacy at Bayern Munich features a combination of longevity, playmaking excellence, scoring, and an unmatched collection of trophies that underline his status as a club and European football icon[1][2][3][4].
