The Bundesliga and the entire footballing world is mourning the passing of Gerd Müller. As announced by former club Bayern München, Müller passed away on the morning of 15 August at the age of 75. Having joined the record champions in 1964, Müller shaped German football like few others. With the national team, ‘Der Bomber’ won the 1972 European Championship and also the 1974 World Cup on home soil. He also lifted several domestic and international titles with Bayern, as well as being Bundesliga top scorer in seven seasons. His record total of 40 from the 1971/72 campaign was only surpassed on the final day of last season by Robert Lewandowski, when he scored his 41st goal of 2020/21. Müller’s total of 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games remains the league’s record.

🐐🐐🐐
in my opinion he was better than Pele because he did it in Europe and in much more advanced era of football
I'm coming back here after Franz passed away. 1974 happened for a reason, you lads were blessed with Muller and Franz
for me the greatest german player of all time
Siempre te recordaremos
muller sent me here
The most prolific striker in football
Oh my God the greatest goalscorer in football scored crucial goals for his country Rest In Peace "Der Bomber"
Fun Fact:This Was Made When Gerd Müller Died.
DAAM SO SAD
🙏
If müller wasn't alive Germany and Bayern would only have 3 ucl and 3wc
What strikes me watching this is the similarities with a player we all have come to know the last few years, Erling Haaland. Many have talked about Haaland and sort of complained of "he is only capable of tap-ins". Which is not true, but yes, like Muller Haaland score most of his goals in the box. It's because this is how he play. Muller too, same thing, but I don't recall anyone complaining that Muller was "only tap-in"??
The best, more than Romario, in area ground! I'm a fan, i'm brasilian, i saw Muller in Bayer and German time. He was mortal, fantastic…..
Der Bomber was the ultimate menace of my dads generation.
Gerd Muller was the ultimate goalscorer.
A God amongst his peers
Number 1 in the World can not compare him to nobody he was a different league. A league on his own the rest was just a mirrage all scamms Pele Maradona etc etc all false
Remember, at some time in his career he hold golden boot in world cup, UCL and Euros at same time and also winner of these championships and also he is one who scored in finals of respective competition
So he doesn't only score goals he scored when it actually matter
muller wasn't ONE OF THE GREATEST, HE WAS THE GREATEST FINISHER EVER. blink and it's in the back of your net.he had the nack of scoring from any angle, it's like defences froze when he approached.
Gerd Müller is and always will be the only ever-present player in my top 11 of all time. I can change Maldini, Neeskens, Pelè or Maradona but I'll never put him out of my team. Grazie Gerd, respect from Italy.
A lot of them were tap ins and opportunistic but being in the right place at the right time is a gift you cannot teach. If it was easy everyone would do it. He was the best. Haaland now reminds me of him
Gerd Muller, Cruyff, Best, Eusebio all pioneers of beautiful football, all sadly gone too soon.
Der Bomber was the nemesis of my dad's generation. One of the greatest forwards of all time.
R.I.P Gerd Muller
The world's best strikers
Uwe Seelar has joined Gerd Muller in heaven
Zomrel úplne najlepší strelec bundesligi a najlepší strelec gerd Muller česť jeho pamiatke gerd
An absolute Legend!! What a champion player. RIP Gerd Muller.
An all time great with Maradona, Cruyff, Pele, Di stefano, Puskas, Eusebio , Zidane & Beckenbeaur , and the greatest centre forward along with Van Basten
German football's pioneer, Bundesliga Pioneer in Gerd Muller………R.I.P.
Lewandowski to me is top 10 players in soccer history , he is so much underrated, he should have won't balon De Oro last year ,it was stolen from him
der beste deutsche Fußballer aller Zeiten
Leyenda, Gerd, el mejor rematador en la historia del fútbol 🔝❤
유럽 역사상 최고의 골폭격기
Respect legend🇩🇪🇩🇪🙏🙏
Holland was the winner😁down with gert muller
The interesting thing is that he always scored important goals. He always delivered, didn't get choked so that others had to do all the work. Truly an amazing player
RIP. Really underrated player. Way more than just a poacher
Muller is definitely one of the most underrated and demonized players of all time.
He should easily have the best first touch in the penalty box of all time, really good with his back against the goal as well. He can literally get past 2-3 players in the box in like half a second and then take a damn quick strong shot with good accuracy with either foot, don't think there's anyone else in the history of football who can do that. With his back to the goal ability and his high football IQ it's fair to say that he should definitely have been at least a top class pivot. His headers were also crazy good for someone of his size, should be one of the top 10 headers of all time, maybe even top 5.
Yes, he was arguably the best poacher of all time, but he was also much much much more than 'just a poacher'
In terms of peak ability I think he's right below the pele maradona messi and brazilian ronaldo. His only 'weakness' is that he doesn't have much ability to bring the ball forward and make proper dribbling runs from deep and because of his height you can't really just boot the ball forward and expect him to get the ball while hustling with defenders. But even then the gap between him and those four in terms of peak ability is pretty small imo.
All things considered I think he's definitely at the very least a top 4 player of all time, maybe even 2nd best after pele. He didn't just score lots of goals, he scored lots of really important goals as well. 14 goals in 13 games at the world cup, including two goals at the 1970 WC semis, the crucial goal against poland to get germany to the WC finals in 1974 and ofc the winning goal against holland to win the 1974 WC. Besides that he also scored 4 goals in the 1972 euros semis and finals.
And that's not even mentioning his insane scoring stats and his record breaking year of 85 goals. Messi broke the record in 2012 but muller still had a far better goal per game ratio
how are Messi and Ronaldo rated above him is beyond me.
When they say physique they forget that all the greatest attacking players have a low centre of gravity , Maradona, Romario, Messi, Puskas, Cassano, Papin, Muller was superb with both feet and his head, a magic striker and with Van Basten & Romario he was the greatest striker ever ……..
This video suggests Muller was the better or more important player than Beckenbauer. Is that just out of respect or true?
one of the deadliest striker in modern soccer
I will never forget him , I am always thankful by everything that he did for Germany
