#3 Erling Haaland | Borussia Dortmund

He might still be young, but Erling Haaland has already shown Bayern Munich fans that he is no pushover. There is currently a lot of discourse about the Norwegian international leaving Dortmund, and possibly Germany, this summer. So it may be a few years before he plays against Bayern again. However, Haaland has certainly left Die Roten with some memorable appearances.

Although he has never won a match against Bayern Munich, the youngster has maintained clinical goalscoring form for his side. Four goals in four Bundesliga meetings against the German giants is a strong feat for a 21-year-old. His two goal contributions in two Supercup finals are even stronger.

Dortmund may struggle to withstand Die Roten's might, but the Bavarians have found it difficult to keep Haaland quiet.


#2 Filippo Inzaghi | AC Milan legend

Popular in Italy for the years he spent playing in Serie A, Filippo Inzaghi has had a surprisingly brilliant record against Bayern Munich. He never played in the Bundesliga and was only opportuned to meet the Bavarians in the Champions League.

What is amazing, however, is that Inzaghi has never lost a single game to them. Playing against the German giants five times during his career, the current Brescia manager won four games and drew just once.

His goalscoring record is also amazing: six goals in five games against Germany's biggest club. In fact, the first leg of the quarter-finals in 2007 happens to be the only game against Bayern where Inzaghi did not score a goal.

The former striker managed two braces against Bayern Munich and will always be recognized for his ruthlessness in front of goal.


#1 Cristiano Ronaldo | Manchester United

The Portuguese maestro has played in Portugal, England, and Italy but he has only faced the Bavarians during his time in Spain. While playing for Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed sublime form against Bayern Munich, facing them eight times and losing just twice.

Notably, both losses came in the semi-finals in 2012 after which Bayern lost to Chelsea after reaching the Champions League final.

Overall, Ronaldo has scored an astonishing nine goals in those eight games against the Bavarians. In every game where Ronaldo has scored against them, he has scored a minimum of two goals.

Bayern fans will hardly forget their quarter-finals meeting in 2017, where Ronaldo scored a stunning hat-trick to kick Bayern out of the Champions League. Real Madrid's 4-0 win at the Allianz Arena in 2014, where Ronaldo scored two goals, will also hurt the Bavarians to remember.
