'Germany 1st place'All-stars made up of former Bayern Munich stars have been revealed.
On the 24th (local time), Germany's largest soccer magazine Kicker set up a best-Eleven with the best performers in Munich's uniforms to commemorate Munich's 125th anniversary. He explained that 11 people were selected based on various records and other factors.
The formation was 3-5-2 with three backs set up by Philip Rahm, Franz Beckenbauer and Paul Brightner. Rahm played 517 matches (16) on two occasions, from 1995 to 2003 and 2005 to 2017, leading to eight Bundesliga wins and one European Champions League victory. He played as a full-back and defensive midfielder and served as captain for a long time. 'Kaiser' Beckenbauer is considered one of the greatest liberos (defenders) in football history. From 1959 to 1977, he played 584 games for Munich, winning four Bundesliga titles and winning three European Cups (the predecessor of the Champions League). The era-renowned full-back Brighter played for Munich from 1970 to 1974 and 1978 to 1983, winning five Bundesliga championships and one European Cup.
The two midfielders consisted of Lothar Mateus and Stefan Eppenberg. Matheus, considered one of Germany's greatest players of all time, scored 100 goals in 410 matches for Munich from 1984 to 1988, and from 1992 to 2000. He has won seven Bundesliga trophies. Known for his "fighting chicken", Eppenberg played 234 games for Munich from 1990 to 1992 and 1998 to 2002 and scored 49 goals. He won three Bundesliga championships and one Champions League championship. Compared to Beckenbauer, Rahm, and Mateus, the period of play was short, but the impact was strong.

The second line of attack was set up by Arjen Robben-Thomas Müller-Frank Ribery, a relatively 'recent' players. Robben played in 309 matches and scored 144 goals in a 10-year Munich uniform between 2009 and 2019. He won eight Bundesliga championships and one Champions League championship. Ribery, who boasted his best chemistry with Robben, stayed in Munich from 2007 to 2019, scoring 124 goals in 425 games. He added nine Bundesliga wins and one Champions League win to his career book. Müller, who is currently a member of Munich, has played for Munich for 17 years since 2008 and scored 247 goals in 737 appearances. He won 12 Bundesliga championships and two Champions League titles.
Gerd Müller and Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona) are the team's top two players. Müller scored 570 goals in 613 appearances for Munich from 1964 to 1979. Four Bundesliga wins and three European Cups are a bonus. Lewandowski scored 344 goals in 375 matches between 2014 and 2022, during which Munich won eight Bundesliga championships and one Champions League. Manuel Neuer, Munich's main goalkeeper, has been selected as the all-time best-Eleven goalkeeper, beating Oliver Kahn and other seniors. Neuer has played for Munich since 2011, playing in 511 matches, supporting 11 Bundesliga wins and two Champions League wins.

The names of the 11 are so prominent that the names of Uli Hurnes, Jeff Meyer, Carl Heinz Rummenighe, Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck, Klaus Augenthaler, Bangsang Lizaraj, Giovanni Eubert, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Memet Shawl and David Alaba (Real Madrid) are missing. Kim Min-jae, who joined Munich in 2023, has established an irreplaceable position this season, his second season, so if he plays for a long time at his current pace, he may be able to seek the position of all-star in the future. It's true that it doesn't seem easy to get over Kaiser.
