Before the final of the Canadian Cup competition between the Vancouver Whitecaps and local rival Vancouver FC, Thomas Müller was relatively relaxed about a possible new record: He said he was not focusing on "making history. I am focusing on having this feeling of victory, this feeling that we are strong and continue to develop as a team and enjoy football together," said the former Bayern star.

After the 4-2 victory in their own stadium, it is now officially confirmed: Thomas Müller is the most successful German footballer of all time in terms of titles! With 35 titles, he surpasses Toni Kroos, who has "only" 34 titles.

And Müller himself? The final goal scorer for the temporary 2-0 remains naturally modest. He wouldn't call himself the "most successful German player," as he reveals to 'SportBild': "I would rather say: 'Germany's most successful title-hoarder.' The question is always: How do you weigh these titles? One might be a national champion more often, while another has more Champions League victories. I don't play football for my 'title legacy,' but because I simply love being on the pitch."

Toni Kroos has already ended his career in 2024, so Thomas Müller can now continue to pursue titles at his leisure and further extend his lead.
