Club career

Early career

Born in Weilheim, Müller played as a youth for TSV Pähl,and at the age of 10 he made the 50 km journey to join

local Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in 2000.[4] Heprogressed through the youth system and was part of theteam that finished runner-up in the Under 19 Bundesliga in

2007.[4] He made his debut for the reserve team in March2008 when he replaced Stephan Fürstner in a Regionalliga

match against SpVgg Unterhaching,[5] in which he scored.He made two more Regionalliga appearances in the2007–08 season, while continuing to play for the under-19team. The following season, Bayern's second stringqualified for the newly formed 3. Liga, and Müllerestablished himself as a key player – he played in 32 out of

38 matches[6] and scored 15 times to make him the

league's fifth top scorer.[7] He also became involved in thefirst-team under then manager Jürgen Klinsmann; he

appeared in pre-season friendlies,[8][9] and made his fulldebut 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.[10] Despite Müller feeling that his performance did not go

well,[11] he made three more Bundesliga appearances that season[6] and made his Champions League debuton 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.[12]

Bayern Munich

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 team-mate Holger Badstuber.[13] He was prepared to be loaned or even

transferred away to find first-team football,[11] but when Louis van Gaal was appointed manager, both

players became fixtures in the Bayern first team from the start of the season.[14] In the first few matchesMüller 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.[15] Three days later, he scored another brace in a 3–0 Champions

League victory over Maccabi Haifa.[16] He rounded off September by being named the Bundesliga player of

the month[17] and earned praise from his namesake, legendary former Bayern and Germany striker Gerd

Müller.[18] After the Haifa match, Müller was in the starting eleven for almost every match,[19] only missing

one match – a Champions League match against Bordeaux, for which he was suspended,[20] because he was

sent off in an earlier match against the same team.[21]

In February 2010, Müller signed a new contract with Bayern Munich through 2013.[22] During the second

half of the season, Müller continued to be a regular first-team starter,[14] usually playing in a centralstriking 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,[23] and in the penultimate league match

of the season, he scored the first hat-trick of his career,[24] in a 3–1 win over Bochum which effectively

secured the German title for Bayern.[25] The title was confirmed a week later with a 3–1 win at Hertha

BSC,[26][27] a match which Müller started. For the season he played in all 34 Bundesliga matches, starting

29, and recorded 13 goals and 11 assists.[14] Bayern and Müller were back in Berlin the following week, toface Werder Bremen in the final of the DFB-Pokal. Müller started the match and Bayern won 4–0 to

complete the domestic double.[28] Müller scored four goals and made two assists during the competition,


2 of 17 2014-06-18 17:03

which made him its leading scorer for the season.[29] Bayern's season ended in pursuit of a first treble, inthe 2010 Champions League Final against Internazionale at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid. It was not tobe, 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.[30]

Müller felt particularly disappointed by this defeat,[11] but he ended his first season as a first-team player

with 52 matches played and 19 goals in all competitions.[14] 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[31] and was

named in the Bundesliga team of the season.[32] Müller credits Van Gaal for having had the biggest part toplay 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).[33] Müller, in return, described Van Gaal as "a

genius technician", who makes players "improve every time".[11]

2010–11 season

Müller returned from his post-World Cup break to sign another contract extension, this time extending his

stay at Bayern until 2015.[34] As with all of Bayern's World Cup participants, he missed much of

pre-season,[35] and his first match back was the Supercup against Schalke 04 on 7 August.[36] He was

named in the starting 11, and scored the opening goal in a 2–0 win.[37] Two weeks later he scored the

opening goal of Bayern's league season in a 2–1 home win against VfL Wolfsburg.[38] Müller played in every

match of the first half of the season, usually as a starter,[39] but as the team struggled for results, Müller

was unable to match the previous season's goalscoring exploits,[39] being dropped to the bench,[33] andeven receiving a telling off from Louis van Gaal after missing an easy chance in a 2–0 defeat against 1. FC

Kaiserslautern in August.[11][40] He was philosophical about this dip in form, though,[41] and after eight

league games without a goal, he scored in a 4–1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt on 27 November;[42] He

followed that by scoring in consecutive league and cup wins against VfB Stuttgart three weeks later.[43][44]

These goals took his tally to eight goals in all competitions[39] and included a spectacular goal to open the

scoring in a 2–0 Champions League victory against Roma on 15 September.[11][45] As his team was on its

winter break, Müller was left to reflect on "an almost unbelievable first year as a pro".[41] Müller began thesecond half of the season in good form, but was involved in an altercation with team-mate 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.[46] Müller again played in every game of the season and scored 19 goals (12 in the league),

but the season was less successful for Bayern, as they finished third in the league,[47] and were knocked out

of the DFB-Pokal in the semi-finals by Schalke 04[48] and in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions Leagueby Internazionale; Bayern had won 1–0 in the San Siro, and Müller scored 31 minutes into the second leg tomake 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.[49] Müller's mentor Van Gaal was increasingly criticised for inflexibility in tactical, transfer and

selection policy,[50] and ultimately lost his job, being replaced with Jupp Heynckes.[51]

2011–12 season

In Bayern's first DFB-Pokal game Müller was awarded the man of the match after earning two penaltieswhich 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.[52] It took Müller five matches for him to gethis first league goal he scored it against Schalke 04 in Bayern's 2–0 win. Müller then scored in Bayern'snext home game in the early stages of the match, Bayern went on to win the game 3–0. On 26 November2011, Müller netted the opener on the half-hour in Bayern's 6–0 thrashing of FC Ingolstadt 04 giving him his

second DFB-Pokal goal.[53] Müller was on the short-list of this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or award.[54] On 10 and15 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)[55] and one goal in Bayern's other 4–0 victory

over Rot-Weiß Erfurt.[56] 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.[57] On 31 March 2012, Müller played his 100th

Bundesliga game against 1. FC Nürnberg.[58][59] On 19 May 2012, Müller scored the opening goal in theUEFA Champions League final against Chelsea F.C. with a powerful header. He was substituted shortlyafterwards. Bayern Munich however lost the final on penalties. Müller stated how dissatisfied he was about

the amount of time he had spent on the bench recently.[60] Müller said that although he was dissatisfied he

wanted to stay at Bayern.[60]

2012–13 season

Müller's first Bundesliga goal of the season came over 2. Bundesliga champions SpVgg Greuther Fürth in

Bayern's 3–0 victory on 27 August 2012.[61] On 2 September, he netted a brace as Bayern thrashed southern

rivals Stuttgart, 6–1, in front of 71,000 at the newly expanded Allianz Arena.[62][63] Müller helped Bayernachieve a record-breaking start to the league season, when he netted a brace over newly promoted Fortuna

Düsseldorf on 20 October in their 5–0 victory, recording Bayern's eighth successive win.[64] Three dayslater, he scored his first Champions League goal of the season, netting from the penalty spot, as Bayern

defeated Lille 1–0 at the French side's newly built Grand Stade Lille Métropole.[65]

On 13 December, after his good run of form in the first half of the Bundesliga season, Müller pledged hisallegiance 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."[66] Six days later, he signed a two-year contract extension,

keeping him at the Allianz Arena until 2017.[67] 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.[66] Givinghim a total of thirteen goals halfway through the season, including his strike against Borussia Dortmund inBayern's win in the 2012 DFL-Supercup. Müller scored his first goal in Bayern's second game back from thebreak in a 2–0 away win over VfB Stuttgart. Müller tapped in his fifth goal of the Champions Leaguecampaign 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.[68] On 23 April 2013, Müller scored two goals and gave one

assist in 4–0 win against FC Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final in the Allianz Arena.[69] On thereturn fixture, Müller scored a header as Bayern won 3–0 and gave Barcelona their biggest defeat ever in

the UEFA Champions League, with a 7–0 aggregate score.[70] Müller then went on to play an important rolein 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.[71] Bayern won the cup 3–2 to complete a historic treble. Müller scored 23 goalsoverall in the season (including all competitions), netting 13 in the Bundesliga, one in the Pokal and animpressive eight in the Champions League, he also added one in the 2012 DFL-Supercup which Bayern won

2–1.[72] This topped off Müller's highest scoring season to date.[73]

2013–14 season

Müller began the 2013–14 season by scoring in seven of Bayern's 12 pre-season games. On 5 August, Müllerscored a hat-trick as Bayern won 5–0 in the team's 2013–14 DFB-Pokal first round game againstSchwarz-Weiß Rehden. In Bayern's opening 2013–14 Bundesliga fixture, Müller missed a penalty for thefirst time. Seconds later, the save from the penalty flicked the hand of Álvaro Domínguez which resulted inanother 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." On 25 September, against Hannover 96 inthe second round of the DFB-Pokal, Müller scored twice taking his cup tally to five goals in just two games.On 28 September, Müller scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg, giving him his first goalin the 2013–14 Bundesliga.

In June 2014, he signed a new contract keeping him at Bayern until 2019.[76]

International career

Müller represented Germany at various youth

levels, starting with the under-16s in 2004.[77] InAugust 2009, he was called up to the under-21team for his debut in a 3–1 friendly defeat against

Turkey.[78] He earned six caps for the under-21s

and scored one goal,[79] the eighth in an 11–0

thrashing of San Marino.[80]

In October of the same year, Müller's regularappearances for Bayern's first team causedGerman national team manager Joachim Löw to

publicly consider him for a call-up,[81][82] despiteinitial reluctance from the Bayern Munich

board;[83] the following month, Müller was named in the squad for a friendly

against Côte d'Ivoire.[84] However, this coincided with the death of nationalteam goalkeeper Robert Enke, which led to the cancellation of a match against

Chile the same week.[85] With less opportunity to try out new players, and withthe under-21 team facing crucial qualifiers for the 2011 EuropeanChampionship, Löw and under-21 manager Rainer Adrion felt that Müller wasneeded at the under-21 level, and Müller was called back into the under-

21s.[86]

He was back in the senior squad for its next get-together, a training session in

Sindelfingen in January 2010,[87] and was named in the squad for the following

match, a friendly against Argentina in March.[88] He made his debut in thisgame in the starting eleven at the Allianz Arena, his home stadium. He wassubstituted in the 66th minute for fellow debutant Toni Kroos as Germany lost

1–0.[89]

2010 World Cup

Müller was named in Germany's provisional 27-man squad for the 2010 World

Cup along with seven other Bayern Munich players.[90] Despite suffering a

scare when he fell off his bicycle at the team's training camp in South Tyrol,[91]

Müller only received superficial injuries and made the final cut for the

tournament when the squad was reduced to 23 players.[92] He was allocated

the number 13,[93] normally worn by injured captain Michael Ballack,[93] and

previously worn by Müller's namesake Gerd.[93] He earned his secondinternational 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.[94] Hestarted the first game of Germany's World Cup campaign and scored the third goal – his first internationally

– in a 4–0 win over Australia,[95] winning Germany's goal of the month award in the process.[96] He playedin 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.[97] In the third minute of Germany's 4–0 quarter final win against

Argentina, he opened the scoring with his fourth tournament goal.[98] However, he picked up his second

booking of the tournament in the first half, for a handball[99] and was suspended for the semi-final defeatagainst Spain. Müller said that he felt far more nervous during the Spain game than any he was able to

play.[11] 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.[100] Theteam's success was a culmination of a series of changes made after the nationalteam's failure at Euro 2000. The Germans emphasized a more open, attack-mindedstyle not previously associated with Germany, and included prominent young players,

including Müller, Sami Khedira and Mesut Özil.[101]

With five goals Müller ended as joint top goalscorer of the tournament. He earned the

Golden Boot with these goals and his three assists.[102] He also won the Best YoungPlayer Award over fellow nominees André Ayew of Ghana and Giovani dos Santos of

Mexico.[103] For both awards, he succeeded a German team-mate, Miroslav Klose and

Lukas Podolski, respectively, from 2006.[104]

In October 2010, he was named on the shortlist for the FIFA Ballon d'Or award along

with four of his Germany team-mates.[105] Reflecting on his World Cup success,

Müller said "I basically got lucky, I hit form at just the right time".[41]

Euro 2012

Müller started all ten of Germany's qualifiers for Euro 2012, as the team qualified for the finals with a 100%

record. Müller provided assists for seven goals,[106] 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.[107] He

scored three times in the campaign, two goals coming in a 4–0 win over Kazakhstan in March 2011,[108] the

third in a 3–1 win over Turkey in October of the same year.[109]

Müller was included in Joachim Löw's squad for Euro 2012, where the Germans were knocked out in thesemi-finals by Italy.

2014 World Cup

Müller scored his first World Cup qualifying goals on 22 March 2013, scoring Germany's opener and final

goal in a 3–0 away win over Kazakhstan.[110] He also scored in the 3–0 victories over Austria and FaroeIslands to give him four goals in Germany's successful qualification campaign.

On 16 June 2014, in Germany's opening match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup,[111] Müller scored the first

hat-trick of the tournament in a 4–0 win against Portugal.[112] In addition, he was also the target of Pepe's

headbutt in the 37th minute, which resulted in the Portuguese defender being sent off.[111][112] He denied

that he had "overplayed" the situation leading to the red card.[113] He was named the man of the match inthis game.

Playing style

Müller's role can be described as an attacking all-rounder,[101] a player able to play in a variety of forward

positions. As he came through the youth system, he was seen primarily as a midfielder,[11] but sincebreaking into the first-team he has been used in more forward roles. Both Bayern Munich and the Germanynational team usually play a 4-2-3-1 formation, and Müller is most often part of the three attackingmidfielders behind the central striker. He can play in any of the attacking midfield roles but usually plays in

the center for Bayern Munich,[114] and on the right for Germany.[115] He has been used as an out-and-out

striker on occasion.[116]

Müller has been praised for his maturity,[117] pace, technique,[118] awareness and positioning.[41] He hasbeen particularly noted for his composure; Germany manager Joachim Löw said he is "impervious to

pressure"[11] and former Bayern manager Louis van Gaal said he has tremendous mental strength.[41] A

consistent scorer and creator of goals,[119] he describes himself as a player who can find gaps in the


6 of 17 2014-06-18 17:03

opposition defence but not particularly good at dribbling or one-on-ones.[11] Müller describes this role as

Raumdeuter,[120] a term that translates to "interpreter of space".

Personal life

Müller was born in Weilheim, Upper Bavaria, and grew up in the nearby village of Pähl, which became the

centre of media attention during his World Cup exploits.[121] His parents are named Klaudia and Gerhard,

and he has a brother, named Simon, who is two and a half years younger.[121] He married girlfriend Lisa, a

model[122] in December 2009, after being engaged for two years.[123] In June 2011 he became an

ambassador for YoungWings, a charity that helps children who have suffered bereavement or trauma.[124]
