Thomas Muller became Germany’s most successful player after winning the Canadian Championship with Vancouver Whitecaps, who defeated local rivals Vancouver FC 4-2 in the final. Muller had previously been tied on titles with Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos. However, he downplayed the achievement, saying he plays for the love of the game and not for trophies.

  • Muller’s record achievement

    Muller has now won 35 titles in total, his latest coming with Vancouver Whitecaps winning the Canadian Championship, moving ahead of former team-mate Kroos, who ended his career on 34. While Kroos has six Champions League titles with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, Muller has two with Bayern. However, Muller has won 13 league titles compared to Kroos’s seven across the two clubs. The latter retired in 2024, while Muller left Bayern to join Whitecaps in the summer of this year.

    Muller’s comments on the historic achievement

    In an interview with , Muller said he believes the comparison with Kroos is not entirely fair, given his former co-star has more Champions League titles. He said: "I'd rather say: 'Germany's most successful title hoarder.' The question is always: How do you weight these titles? One player wins the national championship more often, while the other has more Champions League victories to his name.

    "Statistics are a nice thing, nothing more and nothing less. I don't play football for my 'title legacy,' but because I simply love being on the pitch."

  • Muller’s contribution

    Muller provided an assist for the Whitecaps in the fifth minute before slotting home a penalty in the 10th to give his team a 2-0 lead. He was eventually substituted in the 79th minute to a standing ovation.
