Thomas Müller: New record holder at FC Bayern Munich!

Thomas Müller set a remarkable record for FC Bayern Munich on Sunday with his 710th competitive game by flinging the legendary goalkeeper size Sepp Maier. In the home stadium against SC Freiburg, the 34-year-old was substituted for Michael Olise in the 59th minute, which was worth a warm celebration for the fans and the coaching team. This performance is particularly in terms of Müller's long and successful career in football.

The Bayer native has now completed a total of 475 Bundesliga missions for the Munich. In doing so, he exceeded Maier's previous record, which was on the pitch 473 times in the Bundesliga in his period from 1962 to 1979. This number not only illustrates Müller's extraordinary fitness and durability over the years, but also his close connection to his home club.

The cheers of the fans and the praise of the coaches

After his record mission, Müller was enthusiastically celebrated by the fans in the south curve. He stepped on the fence to thank the supporters with a megafon and shoes as a gift. Trainer Vincent Kompany, who witnessed Müller's Bundesliga premiere himself, expressed his admiration for the player. "710 games continue, that is incredible. 710 games are 100 percent, not only in the games, but also in training," emphasized the 38-year-old, confirming the dedication that Müller shows over the years.

Joshua Kimmich, one of the current stars of the association, also made an impressive manner about Müller's commitment. "If everything goes well, we get 50 games a season. That means that 14 seasons have to be done right to achieve so many missions," said Kimmich. For a player who has thus completed such a number of games in a single club, this is a remarkable performance that is considered a "house number" in the football world.

"Such records are not so important to me, but that I did a brutally beautiful goal today, technically outstanding and then it goes in. That is what I enjoy," said Müller after the game about his focus on the passion for the game itself and not just on personal success.

For Bayern, this record was not only a reason to celebrate, but also a sign of the continuity and stability of the team. While the club continues to fight with the challenges of the Bundesliga, Müller's tireless performance will have an important place in the history books of FC Bayern Munich in the 2024 season.

The Bayern, in the 4-0 win in the DFB Cup against SSV Ulm, ensured that her new coach Kompany celebrated an impressive debut. Müller shone with a double pack and not only confirmed his record, but also his role as one of the decisive players of the team, who is always able to score the decisive goals and to run the team.

The performance of Thomas Müller should be an inspiring example for many young players and for his teammates. With its outstanding endurance and the ability to adapt to the changing conditions in football over the years, he is an important pillar and symbol of loyalty and professionalism in sport.

The entire football world will focus on the further development of Müller's career and the future of FC Bayern, especially with the new challenge under coach Kompany.
