>>> Follow Müller’s final Klassiker here!
Müller‘s Klassiker debut came in September 2009, and boy was it a memorable one.
With Jürgen Klinsmann at the helm, Bayern prevailed 5-1 at Signal Iduna Park, thanks in part to a brace from half-time substitute Müller, who registered his first two goals in the Bundesliga.
The second of those two strikes was particularly eye-catching, as Bayern’s new star hammered the ball into the top corner from the edge of the box. That may have been the best goal he scored versus BVB, but it was certainly not the last.
Müller played the full 90 minutes of the reverse fixture in 2009/10, a 3-1 win for Bayern, yet that proved to be his last taste of Klassiker success for the next three years.
Led by Jürgen Klopp, Dortmund emerged as the kings of Germany, winning back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012. In five fixtures between the two teams in 2010/11 and 2011/12 (not including Supercup matches), Dortmund triumphed on each occasion, including in the 2012 DFB Cup final. Müller did not muster a goal in any of those games.
