Thomas Muller, the Bayern Munich legend, recently made his 150th appearance in the Champions League during a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid. After the match, Muller was interviewed by CBS Sport and was asked if he feels like an old man. However, before he could respond, he was interrupted by Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni.
Muller laughed at Tchouameni’s interruption and even winked at him before delivering a cheeky joke. He claimed that Tchouameni was listening for the tactics for the next game. Tchouameni then appeared in front of the camera and shook hands with Muller, smiling at the camera.
Muller’s 150th appearance in the Champions League is a testament to his longevity and success in the competition. He made his debut in 2009 against Sporting Lisbon and has since won the tournament twice, in 2013 and 2020.
The German icon is now aiming to reach the final for the fifth time. However, Bayern Munich will have to overcome Real Madrid at the Bernabeu to achieve that goal. It will be a tough challenge, but Muller’s experience and leadership on the field will be crucial for his team.
In addition to his Champions League milestone, Muller is also climbing up the ranks in terms of appearances. He is now the sixth-highest appearance maker in Champions League history, behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, and Xavi. Furthermore, Muller is closing in on the record for most appearances for Bayern Munich. He only needs seven more games to surpass Sepp Maier.
Muller’s humor and lively personality have endeared him to fans around the world. Recently, he even kissed his new horse named Kylie Minogue on the nose, much to the delight of his supporters. His ability to bring joy and entertainment both on and off the pitch has made him a fan favorite.
Overall, Thomas Muller’s 150th Champions League appearance is a remarkable achievement. His contribution to Bayern Munich and his impact on the competition cannot be understated. As he continues his journey, fans eagerly await his next milestone and the exciting moments he will create on the field.
