Different records, clearly separated

His Bundesliga total is 365 goals in 427 matches. Bayern’s wider competitive-match record is 566 goals in 607 appearances, because it includes competitions beyond the league.

Bayern’s Hall of Fame account records seven Bundesliga top-scorer awards and his 1970 European footballer of the year award.

West Germany’s tournament scorer

Müller scored ten times at the 1970 World Cup, then supplied the winning goal in the 1974 final. His 68 goals in 62 internationals form a national-team record separate from his Bayern totals.

The specialist inside the penalty area

Bayern’s retrospective describes Müller through his ability to finish chances in the penalty area. He joined the club from Nördlingen in 1964 and became part of its rise in Germany and Europe. His goal records sit within that team’s development, rather than standing alone as rankings.
