Bayern München icon Thomas Müller is the club’s newest member of the 50-goal UEFA Champions League after reaching his half-century in the German squad’s group stage game against Barcelona, ​​their favorite European opponent .

Despite the 32-year-old being co-seventh on the competition’s all-time roster, he is the highest-ranked player to have scored all of his goals for a club. Lionel Messi had scored his 120 Champions League goals for Barcelona before moving to Paris this summer and breaking his streak on Matchday 2.

Müller’s first goal in the competition came in Bayern’s famous 7-1 win against Sporting CP in the 2008/09 round of 16. UEFA.com takes a look at the numbers as it reaches its half-century more than 12 years later.
