Thomas Müller (German pronunciation: [ˈtoːmas ˈmʏlɐ];^[4] born 13 September 1989) is a German professional footballer who plays for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich. He primarily plays as an attacking midfielder or a second striker.^[5]^[6]^[7] Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his era,^[8]^[9]^[10] Müller has been praised for his positioning, finishing, playmaking, work-rate, and consistency in both scoring and creating goals.^[11]

A product of Bayern Munich’s youth system, Müller has represented the club ever since. With Bayern, he has won a record twelve Bundesliga titles, six DFB-Pokals, eight DFL-Supercups, two UEFA Champions League titles, two UEFA Super Cups, and two FIFA Club World Cups. He joined the first team in the 2009–10 season after Louis van Gaal was appointed as the main coach; he played almost every game that season as Bayern won the league and cup double and reached the 2010 UEFA Champions League final. Müller scored in the 2012 UEFA Champions League final though Bayern lost the final on penalties. Müller scored 23 goals in the 2012–13 season as Bayern won a historic treble; the league title, cup and Champions League. He broke the Bundesliga record for assists in a season with 21 (a joint record in the top five leagues alongside Lionel Messi in La Liga) and scored 14 goals in 2019–20 season as Bayern won a second treble. With over 710 matches played across seventeen seasons, Müller is Bayern's all-time record appearance holder. He also holds the record for the most UEFA Champions League appearances with one team.

Müller was called up to the Germany national team in 2010. At the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he scored five goals in six appearances as Germany finished in third place. He was named the Best Young Player of the tournament and won the Golden Boot as the tournament's top scorer. At the 2014 FIFA World Cup, he played a major role in helping the team win the trophy, as he scored five goals and received the Silver Ball as the tournament's second best player and the Silver Boot as the second top goalscorer. He was also named in the World Cup All-Star XI and in the Dream Team. He retired from international football after the UEFA Euro 2024. In 2020, Müller became the most decorated German footballer in history with 27 trophies,^[12] though that has since been surpassed by Toni Kroos.^[13]

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Müller played as a youth for TSV Pähl, and at the age of 10^[14] he made the 50-kilometre (31 mi) journey to join local Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in 2000.^[3] He progressed through the youth system and was part of the team that finished runner-up in the Under 19 Bundesliga in 2007.^[15] Growing up, his favorite player was Giovane Élber.^[16]

Bayern Munich

[edit]

Müller made his debut for the reserve team in March 2008 when he replaced Stephan Fürstner in a Regionalliga match against SpVgg Unterhaching,^[17] in which he scored. He made two more Regionalliga appearances in the 2007–08 season,^[18] while continuing to play for the under-19 team. The following season, Bayern's second string qualified for the newly formed 3. Liga, and Müller established himself as a key player – he played in 32 out of 38 matches^[19] and scored 15 times^[20] to make him the league's fifth top scorer.^[21]

2008–09 season

[edit]

Müller became involved in the first-team under then manager Jürgen Klinsmann; he appeared in pre-season friendlies,^[22]^[23] and made his full debut on 15 August 2008, when he came on as a substitute for Miroslav Klose for the last ten minutes of a Bundesliga match against Hamburger SV.^[24] Despite Müller feeling that his performance did not go well,^[25] he made three more Bundesliga appearances that season^[19] and made his Champions League debut on 10 March 2009 when he was substituted on in the 72nd minute for Bastian Schweinsteiger in a 7–1 win over Sporting CP. He scored Bayern's last goal as they won the tie 12–1 on aggregate.^[26]

In February 2009, Müller signed his first contract for the senior team, a two-year deal effective from the 2009–10 season, along with reserve teammate Holger Badstuber.^[27]

2009–10 season

[edit]

Müller was prepared to be loaned or even transferred away to find first-team football,^[25] but when Louis van Gaal was appointed manager, both Müller and Badstuber became fixtures in the Bayern first team from the start of the season.^[28] In the first few matches, Müller was a regular substitute, and on 12 September 2009, he was brought on against Borussia Dortmund and scored two goals in a 5–1 victory.^[29] Three days later, he scored another brace in a 3–0 Champions League victory over Maccabi Haifa.^[30] He rounded off September by being named the Bundesliga Player of the Month^[31] and earned praise from his namesake, legendary former Bayern and Germany striker Gerd Müller.^[32] After the Haifa match, Müller was in the starting XI for almost every match,^[33] only missing one match, a Champions League match against Bordeaux, for which he was suspended,^[34] because he was sent off in an earlier match against the same team.^[35]

In February 2010, Müller signed a new contract with Bayern Munich through 2013.^[36] During the second half of the season, Müller continued to be a regular first-team starter,^[28] usually playing in a central striking role due to the availability of other wide players Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben. In April 2010, he scored the second goal in a 2–1 win against title rivals Schalke 04,^[37] and in the penultimate league match of the season, he scored the first hat-trick of his career,^[38] in a 3–1 win over VfL Bochum which effectively secured the German title for Bayern.^[39] The title was confirmed a week later with a 3–1 win at Hertha BSC,^[40]^[41] a match which Müller started.^[42]

For the season, Müller played in all 34 Bundesliga matches,^[43] starting 29, and recorded 13 goals and 11 assists.^[28] Bayern and Müller were back in Berlin the following week, to face Werder Bremen in the final of the DFB-Pokal. He started the match and Bayern won 4–0 to complete the domestic double.^[44] Müller scored four goals and made two assists during the competition, which made him its leading scorer for the season.^[45] Bayern's season ended in pursuit of a first treble, in the 2010 Champions League Final against Inter Milan at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid. It was not to be, however, as they lost 2–0, with both goals coming from Diego Milito. Müller was in the starting line-up and had a key chance just after half-time, with Bayern 1–0 down, but his shot was saved by Júlio César.^[46] Müller felt particularly disappointed by this defeat,^[25] but he ended his first season as a first-team player with 52 matches played and 19 goals in all competitions.^[28]

In a poll conducted by the sports magazine kicker, he was voted by his fellow professionals as the best newcomer of the 2009–10 season^[47] and was named in the Bundesliga Team of the Season.^[48] Müller credits Van Gaal for having had the biggest part to play in his rise to success – the coach arrived with a reputation for promoting youth team players, particularly at Ajax, and consistently gave Müller his chance in the first-team, going as far to say "Müller spielt bei mir immer" ("with me, Müller will always play").^[49] Müller, in return, described Van Gaal as "a genius technician" who makes players "improve every time".^[25]

2010–11 season

[edit]

Müller returned from his post-World Cup break to sign another contract extension, this time extending his stay at Bayern until 2015.^[50] As with all of Bayern's World Cup participants, he missed much of pre-season,^[51] and his first match back was the Supercup against Schalke 04 on 7 August.^[52] He was named in the starting 11, and scored the opening goal in a 2–0 win.^[53] Two weeks later he scored the opening goal of Bayern's league season in a 2–1 home win against VfL Wolfsburg.^[54]

Müller played in every match of the first half of the season, usually as a starter,^[55] but as the team struggled for results, Müller was unable to match the previous season's goalscoring exploits,^[55] being dropped to the bench,^[49] and even receiving a telling off from Louis van Gaal after missing an easy chance in a 2–0 defeat against 1. FC Kaiserslautern in August.^[25]^[56] He was philosophical about this dip in form, though,^[57] and after eight league games without a goal, he scored in a 4–1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt on 27 November;^[58] He followed that by scoring in consecutive league and cup wins against VfB Stuttgart three weeks later.^[59]^[60] These goals took his tally to eight goals in all competitions^[55] and included a spectacular goal to open the scoring in a 2–0 Champions League victory against Roma on 15 September.^[25]^[61]

As his team was on its winter break, Müller was left to reflect on what he described as "an almost unbelievable first year as a pro".^[57] Müller began the second half of the season in good form, but was involved in an altercation with teammate Arjen Robben, who was angered when Müller showed his displeasure at a poor free-kick Robben took during a 3–1 win at Werder Bremen.^[62] Müller again played in every game of the season^[63] and scored 19 goals (12 in the league),^[64] but the season was less successful for Bayern, as they finished third in the league,^[65] and were knocked out of the DFB-Pokal in the semi-finals by Schalke 04^[66] and in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League by Inter Milan; Bayern had won 1–0 at the San Siro, and Müller scored 31 minutes into the second leg to make it 3–1 on aggregate, but Inter levelled the score at 3–3 in the 88th minute to go through on the away goals rule.^[67] Müller's mentor Van Gaal was increasingly criticised for inflexibility in tactical, transfer and selection policy,^[68] and ultimately lost his job, being replaced with Jupp Heynckes.^[69]

2011–12 season

[edit]

In Bayern's first DFB-Pokal game Müller was awarded the man of the match after earning two penalties which were converted by Mario Gómez and Bastian Schweinsteiger, Müller then added a third in the closing stages to secure a 3–0 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig.^[70] It took Müller five matches for him to get his first league goal; he scored it against Schalke 04 in Bayern's 2–0 win. Müller then scored in Bayern's next home game in the early stages of the match, which they went on to win, 3–0. On 26 November 2011, Müller netted the opener on the half-hour in Bayern's 6–0 thrashing of FC Ingolstadt, giving him his second DFB-Pokal goal.^[71] Müller was on the short-list of this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or award.^[72] On 10 and 15 January, in Bayern's warm up friendlies, Müller scored three goals in two games, a brace against the India national team (which Bayern then went on to win 4–0)^[73] and one goal in Bayern's other 4–0 victory over Rot-Weiß Erfurt.^[74] Müller provided two assists in Bayern's win over VfB Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal.

On 11 February, Bayern played 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Müller ended a goal drought lasting since 24 September 2011 with a header in their 2–0 victory.^[75] On 31 March 2012, Müller played his 100th Bundesliga game against 1. FC Nürnberg.^[76]^[77] On 19 May 2012, Müller scored the opening goal in the 83rd minute of the Champions League final against Chelsea with a powerful header, before being substituted for defender Daniel Van Buyten moments later. Bayern, however, then conceded a late equaliser, and would go on to lose the final on penalties. Müller stated post match how dissatisfied he was about the amount of time he had spent on the bench recently,^[78] although also expressed his desire to stay at Bayern in spite of this.^[78] During the season, Müller had scored seven goals in 34 league matches, two goals in five German Cup matches, and two goals in 14 Champions League matches.^[79]

2012–13 season

[edit]

Müller's first Bundesliga goal of the season came over 2.

On 13 December, after his good run of form in the first half of the Bundesliga season, Müller pledged his allegiance claiming he was at home in Munich and that, "There is no club to step up from when you leave FC Bayern... there almost is no better club."^[85] Six days later, he signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the Allianz Arena until 2017.^[86] At the winter break in the Bundesliga, he had nine goals and seven assists in 16 league appearances and a further three goals in the Champions League;^[85] this gave him a total of 13 goals halfway through the season, including his strike against Borussia Dortmund in Bayern's win in the 2012 DFL-Supercup. Müller scored his first goal in Bayern's second game back from the break in a 2–0 away win over VfB Stuttgart. Müller tapped in his fifth goal of the Champions League campaign on 2 April, completing a 2–0 first leg defeat of Juventus in the quarter-finals, ending the Italian club's 18-match unbeaten record in Europe.^[87]

On 23 April 2013, Müller scored two goals and gave an assist in a 4–0 win against Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Allianz Arena.^[88] In the return fixture at the Camp Nou, Müller scored a header as Bayern won 3–0 to hand Barcelona their biggest ever aggregate defeat in the Champions League, with a 7–0 scoreline across the two matches.^[89] Müller then went on to play an important role in Bayern's 2–1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the final. On 1 June, Müller scored a penalty in the final of the 2012–13 DFB-Pokal as Bayern won the cup 3–2 against VFB Stuttgart to complete a historic treble. Müller scored 23 goals during the season across all competitions, netting 13 in the Bundesliga,^[90] one in the Pokal,^[90] and an impressive eight in the Champions League,^[90] he also scored one goal in the 2012 DFL-Supercup as Bayern won the match 2–1.^[91]

Müller began the 2013–14 season under new manager Pep Guardiola by playing in the German Super Cup.^[92] On 5 August, Müller scored a hat-trick as Bayern won 5–0 in the team's 2013–14 DFB-Pokal first-round game against Schwarz-Weiß Rehden. In Bayern's opening 2013–14 Bundesliga fixture, Müller missed a penalty for the first time. Seconds later, the save from the penalty flicked the hand of Álvaro Domínguez which resulted in another penalty which David Alaba converted. After this, Müller stated, "I am still happy to take penalties, but I think David Alaba is the main man for spot kicks for now." He played in the UEFA Super Cup.^[93]

On 3 February 2024, Müller became the first player to reach 500 wins with Bayern in a 3–1 league victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach.^[174] On 6 April, he featured in his 700th match for Bayern in a 3–2 away loss against Heidenheim.^[175]^[176] On 30 April, he played his 150th Champions League match in a 2–2 draw against Real Madrid in the semi-finals, becoming the third player to achieve this feat with one club, following Xavi and Iker Casillas.^[177] On 8 May, in the return leg, he featured in his 151st game, matching Xavi's record of most matches for one club in the competition.^[178] On the final matchday of the season, he equaled Sepp Maier's record of most Bundesliga appearances for Bayern with 473 matches.^[179] He finished the season by scoring 7 goals in 41 matches in all competitions.

2024–25 season

[edit]

On 16 August 2024, Müller scored his club's first goals of the season, by netting a brace in a 4–0 away win over Ulm in the DFB-Pokal.^[180] On 25 August, he played in the league opening match against Wolfsburg, reaching a record of 474 Bundesliga appearances with the club, in addition to equaling Sepp Maier's record of 709 competitive appearances for Bayern.^[181] On 1 September, on the second matchday against Freiburg, he set a new record for the most appearances for Bayern, reaching a total of 710 matches across all competitions while scoring his team's second goal, which also marked his 150th in the Bundesliga.^[182]^[183]^[184] On 17 September, he featured in his 152nd Champions League match which ended in a 9–2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb, breaking previous record of Xavi as the player with most appearances for one club in the competition.^[185] On matchday six of the UEFA Champions League, Müller scored his first goal of the competition's season in a 5–1 away victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, scoring in sixteen Champions League seasons, catching up with Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo, only Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema scored in more seasons.^[186] On 20 December 2024, Müller became the first player in history to win 350 Bundesliga matches, in a 5–1 home victory against RB Leipzig.^[187]

In late March 2025, reports emerged that his contract with Bayern would not be renewed.^[188] On 5 April, it was confirmed that Müller would leave Bayern at the end of the season, bringing his 25 years with the club to an end.^[189] In his first match after his departure was announced, Müller came on as a substitute and scored a late equaliser in a 2–1 loss against Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals first leg.^[190] He would captain his team for full 90 minutes in the second leg, marking his 163rd Champions League appearance, tieing Lionel Messi for third-most appearances in UCL history. The match would end in a 2–2 draw, kicking Bayern out of the competition and marking Müller's last ever Champions League match for his side.^[191]

International career

[edit]

Müller represented Germany at various youth levels, starting with the under-16s in 2004.^[193] In August 2009, he was called up to the under-21 team for his debut in a 3–1 friendly defeat against Turkey.^[194] He earned six caps for the under-21s and scored one goal,^[195] the eighth in an 11–0 thrashing of San Marino.^[196]

In October of the same year, Müller's regular appearances for Bayern's first team caused Germany national team manager Joachim Löw to publicly consider him for a call-up,^[197]^[198] despite initial reluctance from the Bayern Munich board;^[199] the following month, Müller was named in the squad for a friendly against the Ivory Coast.^[200] However, this coincided with the death of national team goalkeeper Robert Enke, which led to the cancellation of a match against Chile the same week.^[201] With less opportunity to try out new players, and with the under-21 team facing crucial qualifiers for the 2011 European Championship, Löw and under-21 manager Rainer Adrion felt that Müller was needed at the under-21 level, and Müller was called back into the under-21s.^[202]

He was back in the senior squad for its next get-together, a training session in Sindelfingen in January 2010,^[203] and was named in the squad for the following match, a friendly against Argentina in March.^[204] He made his debut in this game in the starting XI at the Allianz Arena, his home stadium with Bayern. He was substituted in the 66th minute for fellow debutant Toni Kroos as Germany lost 1–0.^[205]

2010 FIFA World Cup

[edit]

Müller was named in Germany's provisional 27-man squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup along with seven other Bayern Munich players.^[206] Despite suffering a scare when he fell off his bicycle at the team's training camp in South Tyrol,^[207] Müller only received superficial injuries and made the final cut for the tournament when the squad was reduced to 23 players.^[208] He was allocated the number 13,^[209] normally worn by injured captain Michael Ballack,^[209] and previously worn by Müller's eponym Gerd Müller.^[209] He earned his second international cap in the final warm-up match before the World Cup when he came on as a half-time substitute for Piotr Trochowski in a 3–1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.^[210] He started the first game of Germany's World Cup campaign and scored the third goal – his first internationally – in a 4–0 win over Australia,^[211] winning Germany's goal of the month award in the process.^[212]

Müller played in all Germany's group games, as they finished top of Group D; he scored twice and assisted once in the 4–1 victory over England in the round of 16.^[213] In the third minute of Germany's 4–0 quarter-final win against Argentina, he opened the scoring with his fourth tournament goal.^[214] However, he picked up his second booking of the tournament in the first half, for a handball^[215] and was suspended for the semi-final defeat against Spain. Müller said that he felt far more nervous during the Spain game than any he was able to play.^[25] He returned to the team for the third-place playoff against Uruguay and scored the first goal, his fifth of the tournament, as Germany won 3–2 to take the bronze medals.^[216] The team's success was a culmination of a series of changes made after the national team's failure at Euro 2000. The Germans emphasized a more open, attack-minded style not previously associated with Germany, and included prominent young players, including Müller, Sami Khedira and Mesut Özil.^[217]

With five goals, Müller ended as joint top goalscorer of the tournament. He earned the Golden Boot with these goals and his three assists.^[218] He also won the Best Young Player Award over fellow nominees André Ayew of Ghana and Giovani dos Santos of Mexico.^[219] For both awards, he succeeded a German teammate, Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski, respectively, from 2006.^[220]

In October 2010, he was named on the shortlist for the FIFA Ballon d'Or award along with four of his Germany teammates.^[221] Reflecting on his World Cup success, Müller said "I basically got lucky, I hit form at just the right time".^[57]

UEFA Euro 2012

[edit]

Müller started all ten of Germany's Euro 2012 qualifiers, as the team qualified for the finals with a 100% record. Müller provided assists for seven goals,^[222] three of which came in a 6–2 win over Austria in September 2011 which secured Germany's qualification for the finals with two games to spare.^[223] He scored three times in the campaign, two goals coming in a 4–0 win over Kazakhstan in March 2011,^[224] the third in a 3–1 win over Turkey in October of the same year.^[225]

Müller was included in Joachim Löw's squad for Euro 2012,^[226] where the Germans were knocked out in the semi-finals by Italy.^[227]

2014 FIFA World Cup

[edit]

Müller scored his first World Cup qualifying goals on 22 March 2013, getting Germany's opener and final goal in a 3–0 away win over Kazakhstan.^[228] He also scored in the 3–0 victories over Austria and the Faroe Islands to give him four goals in Germany's successful qualification campaign.^[229]^[230]

On 16 June 2014, in Germany's opening match of the 2014 World Cup,^[231] Müller scored the first hat-trick of the tournament and was named man of the match in a 4–0 win against Portugal.^[232] In addition, he was also the target of Pepe's headbutt in the 37th minute, which resulted in the Portuguese defender being sent off.^[231]^[232] He denied that he had "overplayed" the situation leading to the red card.^[233] On 26 June, Müller scored the only goal of the final group match against the United States to help the Germans win Group G and dispelled fear of collusion between German coach Joachim Löw and American coach Jürgen Klinsmann to play to a result that benefited both Germany and the US as had occurred in 1982.^[234]

On 8 July, Müller scored Germany's opening goal in their 7–1 semi-final defeat of Brazil.^[235] This was Germany's 2,000th goal in its history, and put Müller level with Helmut Rahn's tally of ten World Cup goals. Müller also became only the third player to score at least five goals in each of his first two World Cups (after Teófilo Cubillas and teammate Miroslav Klose).^[236]

On 11 July, Müller was named on the ten-man shortlist for FIFA's Golden Ball award for the tournament's best player.^[237] After playing all 120 minutes of Germany's final 1–0 victory against Argentina, Müller received the Silver Boot as the tournament's second-top goalscorer with five goals,^[238]^[239] and was also named in the World Cup All-Star XI, having played a major role in his team's World Cup triumph.^[240]

UEFA Euro 2016

[edit]

Müller featured in nine of ten matches during Germany's qualifying campaign for UEFA Euro 2016, scoring nine goals as Germany topped their qualifying group to qualify for Euro 2016.^[241]

Müller started in all six matches that Germany played at the finals. In their quarter-final match against Italy, Müller's shot was the first one to be saved in the penalty shoot-out during the tournament.^[242] This was also the first time Germany failed to score in a shoot-out since Uli Stielike missed in the 1982 World Cup.^[242] Germany would still end up winning the shoot-out 6–5, however.^[242] Müller's poor run of form throughout the tournament hindered Germany's chances, and they would be eliminated by hosts France in the semi-finals. Müller exited the competition without adding a goal to his name at the European Championship.^[243]

2018 FIFA World Cup

[edit]

Müller was selected in Germany's final 23-man squad by manager Joachim Löw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.^[244] Müller played in all three matches for Germany against Mexico, Sweden and South Korea. Müller started against Mexico and Sweden, but came on as a substitute against South Korea. Müller did not manage to score a goal as Germany crashed out of the World Cup at the group stage for the first time since 1938 following a shock loss to South Korea.^[245]

Exclusion from the national team

[edit]

On 5 March 2019, national team coach Joachim Löw confirmed that he would plan without Müller for the foreseeable future, along with his club teammates Jérôme Boateng and Mats Hummels.^[246] Müller said after the decision that he was "angry and surprised" why Löw decided to drop him and his Bayern teammates.^[247] However, after Löw later admitted in March 2021 that he was considering reversing his decision and allowing the previously barred players to partake in the upcoming UEFA Euro 2020, Müller insisted he was "definitely ready" to return to international duty, stating his desire to win another title with Germany.^[248]

Return to the national team and UEFA Euro 2020

[edit]

On 19 May 2021, Müller, along with Hummels, was included in Germany's final 26-man squad for UEFA Euro 2020, ending a period of over two years of exclusion from the national team.^[249] In the Euro 2020 round of 16, Müller missed a one-on-one chance against England when the score was 1–0 for the latter; however, England went on eventually to beat Germany 2–0.^[250] Hence, Müller played 15 matches in the European Championship without scoring any goals.^[251]

2022 FIFA World Cup

[edit]

In November 2022, he was selected in the final squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.^[252] Müller played in all three matches for Germany against Japan, Spain and Costa Rica, but failed to find the net as Germany were eliminated in the group stage for the second time in a row following an upset comeback loss to Japan, stalemate against Spain, and a 4–2 win against Costa Rica that ultimately proved meaningless.^[253]

UEFA Euro 2024 and retirement

[edit]

Müller was named in Germany's squad for UEFA Euro 2024.^[254] In the team's opening match against Scotland on 14 June, he came on as a substitute for Jamal Musiala in the 74th minute and assisted Emre Can's fifth goal of the 5–1 win.^[255] He later featured as a substitute in the quarter-finals against Spain, which ended in a 2–1 defeat after extra time.^[256]^[257]

On 15 July 2024, Müller announced his retirement from international football. He scored 45 goals in 131 international appearances.^[258]

Style of play

[edit]

Müller is a versatile player.^[217] In Bayern’s youth system, he primarily played as a midfielder,^[25] but since joining the first team, he has played as an attacker. Bayern Munich usually plays a 4–2–3–1 formation, and Müller usually plays as one of the three attacking midfielders behind the central striker,^[259] but he can also play as a second striker.^[260]^[11]^[261]^[262]

Although he lacks physical strength,^[263] Müller has been praised for his tactical intelligence,^[264]^[265] finishing, and positioning.^[57]^[263] Former Germany manager Joachim Löw said he is "impervious to pressure"^[25] and former Bayern manager Louis van Gaal said he has tremendous mental strength.^[57] Müller is heavily involved in buildup play^[266] and he has been praised by the media for his intelligent movement off the ball;^[262]^[267] he describes himself as a player who can find spaces in the opposition defence but not particularly good at dribbling or one-on-ones.^[25] Müller describes this role as Raumdeuter,^[268]^[269] a term which translates, literally, to "space interpreter".

During the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Germany manager Joachim Löw stated that Müller "is a very unorthodox player and you can't really predict his lines of running, but he has one aim and that is 'how can I score a goal?'".^[270] In addition to his offensive capabilities, Müller has also been praised by pundits for his stamina and defensive work-rate.^[11]^[271]^[272] Former Bayern assistant coach Hermann Gerland gave him the nickname Radio Müller for his loud and frequent comments on the pitch and in the dressing room.

Personal life

[edit]

Müller was born in Weilheim in Oberbayern, Bavaria.^[273] He was raised in the nearby village of Pähl, which became the centre of media attention during his World Cup campaign.^[274] His parents are Klaudia and Gerhard, and he has a brother, Simon, who is two and a half years younger.^[274]

Müller married his long-time girlfriend Lisa Trede, a semi-professional equestrienne who works on a farm,^[275] in December 2009 after being engaged for two years.^[276] In June 2011, he became an ambassador for YoungWings, a charity that helps children who have suffered bereavement or trauma.^[277]
