No player has made more Champions League appearances for one club than Thomas Müller. The Bayern icon, who made his debut for the club in 2008, has now announced that he will leave them at the end of this season.
Müller's Matchday 1 appearance this term was his 152nd for Bayern and took him past Xavi Hernández – who played 151 games in the competition for Barcelona between 1998 and 2015 – for the most games for a single club in Champions League history.
Müller, who is fourth on the all-time appearance list in the competition, also became the eighth member of the Champions League 50-goal club after reaching his half-century in the German side's 3-0 group stage win against Barcelona – his favourite European opponents – in December 2021.
His first goal in the competition came in Bayern's famous 7-1 round of 16 success against Sporting CP in the 2008/09 round of 16 – we pore over the numbers as the curtain starts to come down on his Bayern career 16 years later.
