Gerd Müller Gerd Müller is widely regarded as the greatest pure goal-scorer in football history, setting a Bundesliga record of 365 goals for Bayern Munich that stood for 49 years until Robert Lewandowski broke it in 2021. He won the 1972 European Championship and the 1974 FIFA World Cup with West Germany and three consecutive European Cups with Bayern Munich. His extraordinary penalty-area instinct, explosive acceleration, and clinical finishing make him the benchmark for all strikers.
