Bayern Munich's best ever XI ... The left-back 🤛 | OneFootball

With the football on hold at the moment, we’ve been thinking about who gets in Bayern Munich’s all-time XI.

Today we’re choosing the left-back.

Here are the nominees …

3rd – Paul Breitner

It’s a real testament to Breitner’s ability that he could, and probably will, appear in the best central-midfielders list for Bayern Munich during this rundown.

A brilliant attacking full-back during his first spell at the club, Breitner helped Bayern to win three Bundesliga titles and the 1974 European Cup before a controversial move to Real Madrid.

However, he returned to Bavaria in 1978 to reach double-figures in goals for five consecutive seasons on the way to winning two more league titles.

2nd – Bixente Lizarazu

Bixente Lizarazu was another left-back who flourished in two separate spells at the club.

After joining from Athletic Bilbao in 1997, the Frenchman lifted three consecutive Bundesliga titles and scored a penalty in the shootout which brought home the Champions League in the final over Valencia in 2001.

Lizarazu became the first player to be a European and World champion for both club and country in 2001 after winning the Intercontinental Cup , with France holding the World Cup and European Championship titles at the same time.

And the winner is … David Alaba

David Alaba will go down in Bayern Munich folklore.

One of the most technically gifted full-backs to have played for the club, as recognised by his former boss Pep Guardiola.

Eight Bundesliga titles. Four DFB-Pokals. One Champions League and one Club World Cup. Alaba has pretty much won it all in Bavaria.

The fact he is now reinventing himself as a centre-back under Hansi Flick shows the game intelligence Alaba has. Incredible.

Here’s how the team is looking so far …

GK: Oliver Kahn RB: Philipp Lahm LB: David Alaba
