Career Goals in UEFA Champions League – 42

Thomas Muller has 101 appearances in Champions League, scoring 42 goals and all of them have come for his current club Bayern Munich. Muller first played in the Champions League in the 2008/09 season, where he scored his first goal in his only appearance in that season. His highest return has been 8 goals, which he scored in the 2012/13 and 2015/16 season. The German has a fine record of scoring in the Champions League in every season since his debut in the tournament.

Last season, Muller scored 3 times in 10 appearances – a brace against Besiktas and a goal in the 3-0 home win against Celtic. Even though he is not their main striker, his ability to chip in with the goals consistently makes him a valuable part of this Bayern set up. He has already scored 2 goals from 5 appearances this season so far.

This season, Bayern are in Group E, with Ajax, Benfica and AEK Athens F.C. The Bundesliga side kick off their campaign with an away trip to Estadio da Luz to face Benfica on Wednesday night and Muller will be hoping to add to his tally.
