Muller makes milestone Bayern Munich appearance

Thomas Muller is now the outright record-holder for Bundesliga appearances for Bayern Munich.

Muller came off the bench on Sunday to help Bayern come from behind to beat Wolfsburg in Vincent Kompany’s first league game in charge.

It marked Muller’s 474th Bundesliga match for the club, seeing him overtake Sepp Maier as Bayern’s record appearance-maker in the competition.

The 34-year-old made an immediate impact after his introduction, helping to force Jakub Kaminski to turn into his own goal to restore parity.

Muller, who also played a role in the winner on Sunday when he put in Harry Kane, who in turn teed up Serge Gnabry, has now won 340 Bundesliga matches, which is more than any other player in the competition since he made his Bayern debut.

In that same period, Muller has scored 149 league goals, which ranks third in Germany’s top tier, while providing a competition-leading 169 assists and creating 927 goalscoring opportunities.
