Goalkeeper – Oliver Kahn

Oliver Kahn was one of the best goalkeepers in the world in his day.

After arriving from Karlsruher in 1994, Kahn went on to make over 400 appearances for the club, winning eight Bundesliga titles along the way.

Kahn also won the Man of the Match award in Bayern’s 2001 Champions League final win over Valencia, making three saves in the penalty shootout.

A club legend.


Right-back – Philipp Lahm

One of the most perfect footballers to have ever played the game. Lahm was as effective as a midfielder later on in his career as he was at right-back.

517 appearances, 16 goals, 70 assists, club captain, eight Bundesliga titles, one Champions League. Wow.


Left-back – David Alaba

Alaba’s game intelligence is being proven by the fact he has reinvented himself as a centre-back under Hansi Flick.

The Austrian has been a mainstay at left-back in a successful Bayern side for the past decade.

With eight league titles, four DFB-Pokals, one Club World Cup and one Champions League, Alaba has won it all in Bavaria.


Centre-back – Klaus Augenthaler

Augenthaler was a true leader, captaining the club from 1984 until he retired in 1991.

With over 400 appearances and 52 goals for the club, this was a defender who knew where the net is, as well as being able to keep them out at the other end.

Augenthaler collected seven league titles during his time playing for Bayern.


Centre-back – Franz Beckenbauer

The greatest defender to play for Bayern Munich. One of the greatest defenders to play the game.

A sweeper, a libero, the instigator of many attacking moves as well as forming a wall around the Bayern Munich goal.

Beckenbauer had elegance and dominated the football pitch.

While at Bayern, the club won four league titles, four DFB-Pokals and three European Cups.


Midfield – Lothar Mätthaus

Matthäus was an energetic box-to-box midfielder with a rasper of a shot mixed with an incredible eye for a pass.

The European Cup passed him by during his time in Germany after the 1987 loss to FC Porto in the final, but he did pick up three Bundesliga titles.

Matthäus joined Inter Milan but did return to Munich in 1992 re-invented as a sweeper.

His Bayern career lasted another eight years with 400 appearances, 19 titles won and 100 goals overall.


Midfield – Stefan Effenberg

Effenberg spent six years at the club in two separate spells and it was his second coming in Bavaria that made him synonymous with Bayern Munich supporters.

The industrious midfielder was a natural-born leader and drove his team on when he was needed the most.

It was his role in the club winning the Champions League in 2001 that is the main reason why he is so fondly remembered in Munich.

Effenberg was the captain for the final against Valencia and stepped up when it mattered most.

The midfielder dispatched the equalising penalty to get Bayern back in the game and the rest as they say is history.


Midfield – Bastian Schweinsteiger

Bastian Schweinsteiger spent the best part of 18 years at the club after breaking into the first-team set up in 2002.

Schweinsteiger made his senior debut at 18 in a Champions League win over RC Lens, coming off the bench to set up a goal for Markus Feulner.

He never looked back from there, completing 100 assists in his 500 appearances for the club, winning the Player of the Year award in 2012/13.

Schweinsteiger won 18 trophies in total at Bayern, including seven league and cup doubles and that spectacular 2012/13 Champions League final win over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.


Forward – Arjen Robben

Robben’s textbook move was to cut inside from the right onto that famous left-foot and let fly.

A move that worked 144 times in his 309 appearances for Bayern, which is an incredible scoring return for a winger.

One famous goal will be remembered by supporters more than most, as he netted the winning goal in the 2012/13 Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.

Robben retired with eight Bundesliga titles to his name as well. A remarkable career at Bayern Munich.


Forward – Gerd Müller

Gerd Müller is one of the greatest strikers to ever play the game.

A lethal finisher who had the measly return of 515 goals in 576 appearances for Bayern Munich which are just ridiculous numbers. He is ahead of second-placed Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in the club’s all-time goalscorers list by an astonishing 348 goals.

He joined the club in 1964 and represented Bayern for 15 seasons, with his lowest season goal return of 15 coming in 1965-66. This was a man who redefined what it meant to be a clinical forward.

Muller’s stunning heroics earned four league titles, four DFB-Pokals and three European Cups for Bayern Munich.


Forward – Karl-Heinz Rummenigge

The German forward was a player with immense technical ability that could hold on to the ball and take players out of the game in a way similar to Lionel Messi today.

Rummenigge scored 217 goals in over 400 appearances in a decade playing for the club.

His name will forever be synonymous with Bayern Munich after winning two league titles and two European Cups.

He also picked up two successive Ballon d’Ors in 1980 and 1981, so he must have been half decent.
