Club career Edit
Early career Edit
Born in Weilheim, Müller played as a youth for TSV Pähl, and at the age of 10[4] he made the 50 km journey to join local Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in 2000.[2] He progressed through the youth system and was part of the team that finished runner-up in the Under 19 Bundesliga in 2007.[5] He made his debut for the reserve team in March 2008 when he replaced Stephan Fürstner in a Regionalliga match against SpVgg Unterhaching,[6] in which he scored. He made two more Regionalliga appearances in the 2007–08 season, while continuing to play for the under-19 team. The following season, Bayern's second string qualified for the newly formed 3. Liga, and Müller established himself as a key player – he played in 32 out of 38 matches[7] and scored 15 times to make him the league's fifth top scorer.[8] He also became involved in the first-team under then manager Jürgen Klinsmann; he appeared in pre-season friendlies,[9][10] and made his full debut on 15 August 2008, when he came on as a substitute for Miroslav Klose for the last ten minutes of a Bundesliga match against Hamburger SV.[11] Despite Müller feeling that his performance did not go well,[12] he made three more Bundesliga appearances that season[7] and made his Champions League debut on 10 March 2009 when he was substituted on in the 72nd minute for Bastian Schweinsteiger in a 7–1 win over Sporting CP. He scored Bayern's last goal as they won the tie 12–1 on aggregate.[13]
