Thomas Müller has once again etched his name in the history books by becoming Bayern Munich’s record appearance holder. At 34 years old, Müller’s dedication and commitment to the club have been unwavering, as evidenced by his 710 appearances for Bayern, surpassing the previous record set by Sepp Maier. Not only did Müller achieve this milestone, but he also marked his 150th Bundesliga goal, securing a 2-0 victory over Freiburg.
Manager Vincent Kompany had nothing but praise for Müller, highlighting the forward’s relentless work ethic both on and off the pitch. Kompany, who coincidentally witnessed Müller’s debut back in 2008 during his final club appearance as a player in Germany, emphasized the dedication Müller has shown throughout his career. “He gave 100% in 710 games, but not only in the games, but also in training. That’s what makes Thomas so special,” Kompany stated.
Despite Müller’s impressive record-breaking feat, Kompany believes there is still more to come from the seasoned veteran. With a few more games left in his locker, Müller’s impact on the team remains vital. Kompany expressed gratitude for having players like Müller who can step up when needed most, ensuring Bayern’s continued success on the field. “We’re very fortunate to have very good players that can come on and make the difference, and Thomas Müller came on, Kingsley Coman too, and the players from the bench were very important for us to win this game,” Kompany acknowledged.
Reflecting on the match against Freiburg, Kompany noted a slight dip in performance in the second half but credited the depth of his squad for securing the victory. The ability to rely on experienced players like Müller gives Bayern Munich an edge, ensuring that even in challenging moments, the team has the necessary reinforcements to maintain their dominance in the Bundesliga.
Overall, Thomas Müller’s record-breaking achievement serves as a testament to his exceptional career at Bayern Munich. With no signs of slowing down, Müller continues to inspire his teammates and fans alike with his unwavering dedication to the sport and the club he loves. As Bayern Munich looks towards a bright future, Müller’s legacy will undoubtedly remain a cornerstone of the team’s success for years to come.
