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.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over seven years at Sportskeeda. He has written more than 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
