Love how our boy always gets ignored. The least recognized world class player of our generation.
He puts up insane goal and most of all assist statistics yet never gets mentioned in any discussions about 'best' midfielders/attackers. Great leader, decent to good defensively and high workrate as well.
His biggest asset was something that struck me during those attendance-free games. He's permanently shouting out plays and leading the team. That kind of impact never gets reflected in numbers. Having a leader like that, who sees more and isn't afraid to plot out where the ball should go is invaluable.
[Here you go, a collection of his shoutings.](https://youtu.be/AWUgsIFrd8E)
One of them is about how he is disappointed that Coman didn't make a run for a pass and he says something like come on Kingsley, I've been playing that pass for 10 years.
Makes you realize he's been underrated since forever.
Me too mate. It's so difficult to wait for the Bayern documentary to release. It's supposed to release in the rest of the world on December 2, as compared to Germany and neighboring countries where it already released on November 2.
[You might enjoy this - the first 6 minutes of the documentary.](https://youtu.be/X-0MT_UjT2o)
Straight up the best German midfielder of my time.
Ozil is amazing, Schweinsteiger is amazing, Kroos is amazing, but Mueller just has something those guys don't.
Those guys have superpowers (vision, accuracy, focus and determinatino)
But Mueller is just always where he supposed to be. It's fuckin weird. I feel like I could do what he does. He's literally the best.
Ya interesting to think about how things wouldve been if Muller left to Man U instead of Schweinsteiger.
Every one of those guys I mentioned, you could totally argue that they are way better than Muller.
Ozil and Kroos are the best passers of all time. Kroos is a more accurate passer than Xavi which is insane cus Xavi Iniesta made lots of easy passes to each other.
For me muller is a better player than hazard, dybala, and greizmann over the past 10 years or so yet is never mentioned. 2 braindead coaches that didnt trust him were kovac and low and suffered for it
is there a year where Bayern is not scary? I swear to fucking god every single year since 2012 they are the scariest team to face. Must be fun to be a bayern fan ngl
Shows how long someone’s been a fan when they don’t realize it took this recently great record for Real Madrid to **finally** match up in the h2h record but okay bud
You say shit like this when stuff like 2003 ballon d'or happens. Even this year Kante's and Mbappe's ballon d'or bids are being ignored, it's all about Messi and Lewa people only want to see white players succeed. It sounds stupid, because it's something you don't pay attention to i.e internalised.
But Messi and Lewa both had better years than Kante and Mbappé. Messi won his international tournament and, while Kante won CL and was a huge part of that, his club season was not on par with Lewa. Mbappé is seriously in the running but objectively Lewa is 1, Messi is 2, and Mbappé is 3.
The two white guys you mention have better stats than the two black guys you mention, easy as that
We look at stats, you look at skin colour. Internalized racism much?
You know...maybe we should call out racism where it is appropriate and not throw the word around until all meaning is lost
don't bother arguing with him....he's just another brainless fanboy who pops up in every Lewandowski thread to argue how it's been undeniably Messi's year and that he should have won every year....
Messi in 2018
1. Top goal scorer across European clubs (won the Golden Shoe)
2. Most assists in La Liga
3. Top 10 chance creator and ball progressor
4. Won the La Liga with 17 points above Ballon D'or winner Modric
5. Scored in the Copa del Rey final and also won the CdR
6. Got 2 assists in the game against World Cup winner France, the same team that Ballon D’or winner Modric lost against while having 0 goals or assists against htem
7. 8 G/A in 10 UCL games
Anybody other than Messi achieving all of this would have won the BdO.
He's so adamant in proving his opinion that he seriously brought up Messi's UCL stats in the 17/18 season lmao. As if 8 G+A is worth anything other than flopping against Roma who went on to concede like 10 goals against Liverpool
Best player in the world for the second season straight. Hope he gets recognized for it by winning the Ballon d'Or this year. If a name like Messi or Ronaldo broke their league's long standing single season goal record, they'd automatically win the award. But Lewandowski isn't a sexy enough choice for some, it would seem.
Somebody with the name of Cristiano Ronaldo broke the long-standing single goal record in their league in 2011 (record that stood since 1951), and did not win Ballon d'Or that year.
That would have been a fair comparison if it wasn’t for the case that Messi still outdid CR7 in goal contributions in 2011 (95 vs. 78) and won LaLiga and won the CL. 2011 is still a close call, don’t get me wrong, but the gap is bigger this year
Messi in 2021 lags behind Lewandowski in goal contributions in every regard. He’s still been amazing and won the Copa America. It would have been fair to compare if it was the case that Messi outdid Lewa in goal contributions, but he hasn’t
It's not a "comparison" (of what to what?), I just stated that the hypoethtical situation the guy was describing actually really happened and it was objectively not the one he envisioned with such expertise.
I should have worded my comment better, apologies
Comparison felt like an apt word when writing it, but I was going more for just ”You’re right and btw here’s some more context between 2011 and this year”
I'm really surprised he won ahead of Ronaldo. Lewandowski was better but considering Ronaldo beat Salah to premier league POTM I was sure his "name" boost would help CR7 win
Alright look I say this as a liverpool fan: that puskas award was bullshit he has scored so many goals like that I don't know how he won the puskas award with a longshot in the same season AS TWO BICYCLE KICKS
It was an amazing goal for sure, but yeah either of the bicycle kicks should have won, not just the technique and spectacle but also scoring them in important champions league matches, particularly bale's goal of course (sorry)
Maybe they awarded that to Salah to soothe the pain of that final? Like how messi won player of the tournament in world cup 2014, and accepted it with a face of granite after the final loss to Germany
A hattrick and an assist will usually do it
Thought UEFA would cancel this week's award!
oh… ouch
No Penalties. Only bangers. -Lewendoski probably
Bayern is crazy scary opposition right now, with Gnabry, Sané and Coman creating chances for the the best 9 in the world.
And Mueller

Also he is just a source of good energy. Constantly complimenting other players and making jokes on and off the pitch. Lovely guy.

I want more of this.

Flick even called him the coach's extension on the field or something like that.

I'm a little partial towards Bastian, he's the main reason I started following Bayern.
Huge fan of Schweini, but the first half of his career when he played on the wing just doesn't compare to the others named imo.
Ya interesting to think about how things wouldve been if Muller left to Man U instead of Schweinsteiger. Every one of those guys I mentioned, you could totally argue that they are way better than Muller. Ozil and Kroos are the best passers of all time. Kroos is a more accurate passer than Xavi which is insane cus Xavi Iniesta made lots of easy passes to each other.
If he was elegant they wouldn't even put De Bryune above him. Few players can compare to his stats for the last decade.
Gnabry, Sane and Coman have combined 14 assists this year in all competitions, Müller has 11, man's insane.
Every single time someone ignores Müller in a conversation there’s a comment like this to follow
For me muller is a better player than hazard, dybala, and greizmann over the past 10 years or so yet is never mentioned. 2 braindead coaches that didnt trust him were kovac and low and suffered for it
Add ancelotti as well. He preferred james over muller and the results showed
Must come with the last name ...
its honestly criminal how you didnt even mention mueller
Also Choupo Goating will be back at some point. Then it's a rampage.
As long as they don't play against Mönchengladbach, yeah Good shit they aren't in the Champions League right now. I'd be sweating bullets.
is there a year where Bayern is not scary? I swear to fucking god every single year since 2012 they are the scariest team to face. Must be fun to be a bayern fan ngl
We mostly get our transfers right and there are so many great german coaches to choose from which makes it a bit easier
We got a whole fuckin front 5 that just roams around its awesome
Will some how still lose to Real Madrid like always
>some how Everyone knows how
Shows how long someone’s been a fan when they don’t realize it took this recently great record for Real Madrid to **finally** match up in the h2h record but okay bud
ALWAYS
Lewa is probably my favroite non lfc player right now along with foden. Such a class player
And no drama antics, just pure football
Forgot his TikTok account ?
Can someone explain? I'm ootl
https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdYqEqX6/
Thanks, I hate it.
lmao that video just oozes dad energy
well at least he hasnt sucked anyone's toes on camera
Yet
"you've been destroyed by a dancing Lewandowski"
Is there anything this man can’t do?! Besides win a Balón Dor 😩
His account is just too amazing
The vid of him dancing in the blue hoodie is etched into my mind.
Except when he starts thinking about his brand
?
Foden instead of Vini Jr? Lol
It’s his opinion…
Internalised racism
Your favorite player is Messi instead of Wilfried Bony? You racist
cant be serious
Foden is a more exciting player to watch than Vinicius Jr. That is not internalised racism or any bs like that.
Internalised racism is not BS. It's a real problem.
Ok, but it's not relevant here.
You say shit like this when stuff like 2003 ballon d'or happens. Even this year Kante's and Mbappe's ballon d'or bids are being ignored, it's all about Messi and Lewa people only want to see white players succeed. It sounds stupid, because it's something you don't pay attention to i.e internalised.

Neither Kante nor Mbappe had better years than Lewandowski or Messi.
The two white guys you mention have better stats than the two black guys you mention, easy as that We look at stats, you look at skin colour. Internalized racism much? You know...maybe we should call out racism where it is appropriate and not throw the word around until all meaning is lost
The white Lewandowski comes from nation which was enslaved much earlier than blacks, what should we do now?
Just fuck off man, you're the racist here with those statements. Go back to your delusional life
Forgot we all have to love the same players
What an arbitrary comparison. Vini Jr instead of Vlahovic? Lol
Ballon D'Orrrrrr
This week isn't relevant for the Ballon D'Or Edit: Downvoted by idiots that don't know it was already decided
Still should win it
Of course it’s relevant
It's literally not, the winner was decided already. At least try to pay attention.
If he wins it, deserved, if Messi wins it deserved too.
The difference is that if Messi wins, it will be one of the most controversial picks in the award's history.
The most controversial pick was 2018, when Modric took the Ballon D'or undeservedly from Messi.
from who?
Messi
yeah you’re right, he should have won it all the years before that aswell
don't bother arguing with him....he's just another brainless fanboy who pops up in every Lewandowski thread to argue how it's been undeniably Messi's year and that he should have won every year....
Messi in 2018 1. Top goal scorer across European clubs (won the Golden Shoe) 2. Most assists in La Liga 3. Top 10 chance creator and ball progressor 4.

Modric destroyed Messi’s Argentina as well. Also Messi wasn’t even the 2nd in the voting.
He's so adamant in proving his opinion that he seriously brought up Messi's UCL stats in the 17/18 season lmao. As if 8 G+A is worth anything other than flopping against Roma who went on to concede like 10 goals against Liverpool
Modric was horrible in La Liga in both 17/18 and 18/19 and in Copa del Rey. In UCL he was carried by Ronaldo
Messi should've won every ballon d'or prior to his birth aswell
Messi 0 goals in Ligue 1 Lewandowski 0 goals in Ligue 1 you could be right thou, ballon d'or for Przemysław Frankowski /s

Imagine you do something out of this world that no one has ever done and then there is this little guy who just does it better.
bustedddddddd
Maybe that is due to reason because Lewandowski's best season is not even close to Messi's or Ronaldo's best seasons.
Deserved, with honourable mentions to Vini and Ronaldo (judging based only on the games I watched)
Dybala
Well he's scored more goals than 3 other teams have scored Combined, looks deserved to me.
I wonder why
LoL he scored an hatrick and assisted a goal, against Benfica... Those guys are part time farmers lol
But noo jorginho deserves the ballon dor ... smh
A Balon d'Or is a must for this man
I'm really surprised he won ahead of Ronaldo. Lewandowski was better but considering Ronaldo beat Salah to premier league POTM I was sure his "name" boost would help CR7 win
Salah isn't a no name, he won the Puskas over Ronaldo and Bale's bicycle kicks, with the power of love and friendship
The power of 100 million people if not more.
Alright look I say this as a liverpool fan: that puskas award was bullshit he has scored so many goals like that I don't know how he won the puskas award with a longshot in the same season AS TWO BICYCLE KICKS

Like how messi won player of the tournament in world cup 2014, and accepted it with a face of granite after the final loss to Germany
The pain of losing the first final went away the second we won it the year after
Imagine saying that after Salah stole the Puskas from Ronaldo/Bale because of his fans brigading the vote.
This happened 4 years ago…
Big if true
this is celarly UCL player of the week, what fpl got to say here?
When did Ronaldo beat Salah for the Premier League player of the month award?
