When is it not Thomas Müller’s day at Bayern Munich?
Whenever his team needs him most, Müller is there. The soon-to-be 35-year-old scored the clinching second goal for the Bavarians in a tightly-contested 2-0 win over SC Freiburg — in a result that keeps the Rekordmeister perfect, and on a matchday where defending champions Bayer Leverkusen fell to RB Leipzig.
“I’ve always said that such records are not that important to me. Whether it’s 710, 712 or 325 games, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m more pleased about the goal I scored today, which was technically brilliant,” Müller told DAZN (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Müller scored in typical Müller fashion — that is to say, awkwardly but impeccably. It wasn’t the most graceful of movements but, aided by a Konrad Laimer run, the Raumdeuter collected a Serge Gnabry kick inside the box, carved himself an inch of space, and blazed home before anyone knew what was going on.
It was the kind of impact Müller has always had on the game: unpredictable, yet decisively goal-bound. And he’s been at this for a long time:
710 games overall, and 150 Bundesliga goals — what an occasion to mark both occasions. Though only a substitute so far this season under new head coach Vincent Kompany, Müller is still, as he ever was, Mr. Bayern.
Danke, Thomas. Looking forward to much more to come.
