When you talk about the biggest Bayern games of the last 15 years, one name inevitably comes up: Thomas Müller.

Not the fastest, not the strongest dribbler – but always there when it counts. The original Bavarian ended his Bundesliga career last weekend. Now the Club World Cup is still to come, before he will be looking for a new club. We're using the time to take a look back at his biggest games in the FCB jersey.

FC Bayern – Barcelona 4:0 (CL semi-final 2013)

Do you still remember? Bayern swept away the big Barça with 4:0 from the Allianz Arena – and Müller was the man of the evening: two goals, one assist and the best man on the pitch. Lionel Messi? Canceled. Müller? Everywhere.

FC Bayern – Borussia Dortmund 5:1 (Bundesliga 2015)

In the league, Bayern dismantled BVB, Müller scored twice. In games against Dortmund, he often blossomed particularly – Müller was one for the big stage.

FC Bayern – Hamburger SV 8:0 (Bundesliga 2015)

Müller virtually single-handedly finished off HSV in 2015. In the 8:0 home win against the Rothosen, he scored two goals and set up three more. Müller never managed more scorer points in a game.

FC Bayern – Juventus Turin 4:2 a.e.t. (CL round of 16 2016)

Grande Müller! In 2016, Bayern were in the CL round of 16 against Juventus and were already up against the wall. After the 2:2 draw in the first leg in Turin, the FCB were quickly 0:2 behind at home – the end was in sight. But then the comeback began. And who was there again when it counted? Thomas Müller. In stoppage time, he headed the equalizer to 2:2 – extra time! There, the Munich team made the comeback clear with two more goals.

Barcelona – FC Bayern 2:8 (CL quarter-final 2020)

Another Barça trauma – again with Müller as the boss. Bayern celebrated perhaps the greatest European Cup evening of all time and shot down Barcelona with 8:2. The original Bavarian was again in the midst of it all. Two goals and an assist speak for themselves.

Okay, we could have listed 100 more games at this point. But what does Müller teach us all painfully at the moment? Unfortunately, it's always over at some point.

Which game still remains in your memory? Let us know in the comments.
