#3 Leroy Sane

The former Manchester City star enjoyed an impressive start to his Bayern Munich career, after leaving the Etihad Stadium for Die Roten for an initial €45 million in 2019. Leroy Sane managed 10 goals in his first season with the side, playing 44 games, and this season, he has already surpassed his previous record in December.

Sane has been explosive for Bayern Munich this season, scoring 11 goals in just 26 appearances for the club. Bayern's six most recent games have seen the star contribute directly to four goals, scoring three himself. His Champions League outings this season have also been phenomenal, with Sane garnering five goals and four assists in just six games.


#2 Thomas Muller

Thomas Muller has enjoyed a long, successful career at Bayern Munich, but his newfound brilliance as one of the best playmakers in the world only popped up a few seasons ago. Muller has always provided assists for Bayern's attackers, but the past two seasons have seen him provide over 15 consecutive Bundesliga assists per season.

With just 17 Bundesliga games played this season, Muller has already picked up 13 assists, many thanks to Robert Lewandowski's goalscoring form. The German international averages over three key passes per game across all competitions, making him a key factor in Nagelsmann's potential success this season.


#1 Robert Lewandowski

It comes as little surprise that the Polish international tops this list, as he has likely topped every other Bayern Munich list over the last five seasons. Last season, Robert Lewandowski beat Gerd Muller's longtime Bundesliga record by scoring an astonishing 41 goals. This season, the deadly marksman is set to get near his own record again.

In just 17 Bundesliga games, Lewandowski has scored 19 goals, which is over a third of Bayern Munich's 56 goals in the league. Die Roten's ruthlessness in the Champions League has also seen Lewandowski flourish in style, scoring a brilliant nine goals in just six games while assisting twice.
