Most titles per game: Five former Bayern players make the top ten | OneFootball

A flood of trophies despite minimal appearances – some football careers unfold more in the background. A curious ranking now puts several former Bayern goalkeepers in the spotlight.

Ron-Thorben Hoffmann was once under contract with FC Bayern, but now he guards the goal for Eintracht Braunschweig. Since his departure from Munich in 2022, he has played 76 competitive matches there. What many don’t know: the 26-year-old holds a Europe-wide record. He tops the list of players with the most titles per appearance – and with an astonishing figure.

During his time at FC Bayern, Hoffmann never made an official appearance for the first team. Nevertheless, he collected a total of eleven titles during this period – including four league championships, two DFB-Pokal victories, and even the Champions League triumph as part of the 2020 sextuple year. The keeper was usually on the bench as the third or fourth goalkeeper or was part of the extended squad.

Hoffmann isn’t the only one to appear in the ranking: Sven Scheuer (3rd place), Tom Starke (7th), Bernd Dreher (8th), and Stefan Wessels (10th) also made it into the top ten. All of them are former FC Bayern goalkeepers. Another prominent example is Andrij Lunin (6th place) from Real Madrid. The entire top 10 consists exclusively of goalkeepers.

The first outfield player only appears in 11th place: Presnel Kimpembe, formerly with Paris Saint-Germain, ranks there with an average of 9.64 games per title. Close behind is another former Munich player: Tanguy Nianzou, now under contract with Sevilla FC. The Frenchman spent two years in Munich, became champion twice, and with nine titles in total, made 28 appearances – an average of 10.56 games per title.

By the way: Hoffmann didn’t just get to celebrate with the first team. With Bayern’s second team, he also won the Regionalliga Bayern (2019) and the 3. Liga (2020) – this time even as the regular keeper on the pitch.
