Thomas Müller: 10 things on the Bayern Munich Raumdeuter
Thomas Müller may be the most common name in Germany, but there has never been one like the attacker who plays for Bayern Munich. A local boy who’s gone on to become one of the most successful – if not unconventional – footballers of all time, Müller continues to make history for the Bavarians.

1) Bayern beginnings
Born and raised around the Bavarian lakes just south of Munich, Müller found himself in the state capital by the age of 10 when he joined the Bayern academy. The attacking all-rounder progressed through the youth teams and in 2007 scored in both the semi-final and final of the U19 Bundesliga championship, where Bayern came up short in extra-time against Bayer Leverkusen. He followed that season with 18 goals in 26 games before being called up to the reserves, but at the same time he was training with the first team under Jürgen Klinsmann.
