As the world mourns the loss of former Bayern Munich defender and World Cup winner Thomas Muller, we take a look back at his time in Munich.
Muller began his career at Bayern Munich in 2011 after impressing in Germany's under-19 team. He quickly made a name for himself, helping Bayern to win the Bundesliga title in his first season and the Champions League the following year.
In 2016, Muller moved to Real Madrid for a fee of €45 million, but struggled to make an impact in La Liga. He returned to Bayern in 2018 and cemented his place as one of the club's best defenders, helping them to win three consecutive league titles.
Muller was also a key member of Germany's squad that won the 2014 FIFA World Cup, scoring a crucial goal against Argentina in the final. He retired from international football in June 2018 after playing 77 games for his country.
Despite his success at Bayern and Germany, Muller faced criticism over his decision to leave the club in 2018. Some fans felt he had let down the club by leaving so soon after winning the Champions League, while others believed it was the right move for him to pursue new challenges.
Regardless of how people feel about Muller's decision, it is clear that he will be remembered fondly by both Bayern Munich fans and German football fans alike. His contributions to the club and country were immense, and he will always be remembered as one of the greatest defenders ever to grace the sport.
