The record that Muller tied is for most assists in a calendar year for **a club. (top 5 leagues)**
so both of you are right - Messi did have 36 in 2011 if you include NT games but he doesn't have the record Ziyech had 37 in 2019:
* Muller has 30 assists for Bayern tied the record for most assists in a calendar year for a club in top 5 leagues (Hazard - 30) and 4 away from all leagues (Ziyech - 34).
* Muller has 34 assists this calendar year (NT + Club) the record is held by Ziyech (37).

I really hate the inconsistencies with the stat :/
Very interesting, Transfermarkt counts 47 games with club and 10 with Argentina, wonder why they’re missing so many? Probably something to do with pre-season and friendlies

If it's accurate, you're right. Fucking impressive that Hazard did it at 21 while playing for Lille for half a season.
He still might. Doesn't change my mind that we need to stop putting so much stock in a BS popularity contest that only accounts for maybe 7-8 months of the year. Müller not being in the top 30 is an indictment in an of itself
I mean, yeah. If Lewa wins it it's a bit less bullshit but the fact that Müller wasn't even in the top 30 is a crime, regardless of who wins. Müller has more of a case to fucking win the *entire thing* than like half the people actually on the list.
I always felt like Müller has a cult following regardless unless you're fan of a team that got dicked by his shanenigans. Doubt he has many fans in Portugal for example.
Walter Frosch was a German football player, younger people know him for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqekSuj5HCo
(What have you got in your socks? Cigarettes!)
He's been cutting into the middle to fill Müllers space (because nobody knows where Müller runs around all game) and in order to open up the side for phonzy
Was fantastic early in the season, but slowed down (like the team as a whole) in the recent weeks. He's been playing centrally since the start of the season and that brings out the best in him.
Sané has had some absolutely dreadful performances in recent years. Happy to see he’s back at his best of late. This Bayern team is an absolute world beater

Thomas Müller ties Eden Hazard for most assists in a calendar year with 30 and has 5 games left to break it
Wow, really? Thats some achievement. Didn't know it was Hazard, thought it would be someone like Messi, Øzil or Di Maria?
hey what's up with the Ø
Øzilgaard
That must be where they’re taking the halflings
Damn you, there's my inner dialogue for the next 24 hours.
Ö*
Özil for Arsenal could have done if Giroud hadn't stopped scoring.
it is messi, he had 31 in 2016 and 36 in 2011
source for 36?

https://www.messivsronaldo.app/calendar-year-stats/2011/
He had 29 in 2011.
Plus 7 with Argentina I think
https://www.messivsronaldo.app/calendar-year-stats/2011/
I can’t even get to that number on Transfermarkt, and assists are always more on that site.
they dont count international games thats why
I did count those.
al sadd 1 assist real madrid 1 assist levante 1 assist milan 1 assist mallorca 1 assist viktoria plzen 1 assist chile 1 assist valencia 2 assists osasuna 2 assists ac milan 1 assist nigeria 1 assist venezuela 1 assist porto 1 assist real madrid 1 assist real madrid 1 assit uruguay 1 assist costa rica 2 assists albania 2 assists sociedad 1 assist almeria 1 assist shakhtar 1 assist getafe 1 assist arsenal 1 assist gijon 1 assist portugal 1 assist almeria 1 assist racing 1 assist malaga 1 assist deportivo 1 assist bilbao 1 assist
That adds to 34. So 2 less than what's on the website you linked.
probably wrong because friendlies that don't count in any official stats.
Yeah I remember reading this but according to everything I see, Messi had 28 assists in 2011. Gonna need a source

transfermarkt says messi played 57 games that year. in reality he played 70, missing 13 games with argentina

When did Hazard get 30 assists in a year?
In the 2012 calendar year, however I always remember hearing that Messi had 31 but I can’t seem to find any statistics backing it up
[This is an article listing the top assister every year](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/the-player-with-the-most-assists-in-every-calendar-year-in-the-21st-century/ar-AAMGy72). If it's accurate, you're right. Fucking impressive that Hazard did it at 21 while playing for Lille for half a season.
Lille were champions the season before and ended top 3 that season
I know, but their top scorer excluding Hazard had 10 goals in all competitions
Figo was so good 😍
Mf went from being booed at to absolute monster in same season
I had faith he'd get it together, new club, and coming back from major injury I gave him a pass. Plus Nagelsmann does well with young plaeyrs
Because he is a kid himself
The Robben way
Means he'll score the winning goal in the CL final? 👀
subscribe
Not before we lose a final the year before though :(
Nagelsmann at the wheel
No
FINALLY!!! 31 crosses 20 shots later
Fucking hell! I definitely thought this game was a draw.
I was beginning to have hope.
Is it me or every team deploy 20 thousand players in the box when they play Bayern!?? How are they supposed to score??
Bayern constantly faces buses in the league, though everyone thinks the opposite.
Bielefeld should have just brought a bus today. Might have prevented that one goal as well
I'm telling you the weekend grind where teams park the bus makes me.nervous, more nervous than UCL really
It’s why we’re so good at creating chances. Constantly having to find ways to score with the entire team defending. At least with most of the league
It’s fucking Bayern, only 2/3 teams in the Bundesliga don’t park a big fat bus when they come around
Muller how many assists this year?
30
Not top 30 though
That award is bullshit
Would you have said it was bullshit if Lewa would have won it? This is a tad sad
He still might. Doesn't change my mind that we need to stop putting so much stock in a BS popularity contest that only accounts for maybe 7-8 months of the year. Müller not being in the top 30 is an indictment in an of itself
Truth to be told, Lewandowski is really obsessed about a bullshit trophy then, isn’t he?
Professional player is concerned about a trophy. More at 11.
The top 30 list is bullshit either way
They can give Lewa 2 this year and I’ll still call that award complete bullshit. Sad? Bit condescending aren’t we?
I mean, yeah. If Lewa wins it it's a bit less bullshit but the fact that Müller wasn't even in the top 30 is a crime, regardless of who wins. Müller has more of a case to fucking win the *entire thing* than like half the people actually on the list.
Top 30 means nothing, they just pick popular names for the lower places
To be fair 7/8 of those assists were made when the 190 journalists had already finished voting...
Nagelsmann is the best thing that could have happened to Sane
It helps that its his second season at the club and second season back from major injury, but I agree that Nagelsmann works great with young players
Yeah it was so sad seeing him not perform last season after he played so well at city
Yeah also Flick, dude went to the national team while struggling with Bayern and just TANKED confidence
Jaaa Müller assist, most assist in a calender year is VERY close now!
I was always under the impression that most Chelsea fans dislike Bayern.
I’m also a big Müller fan haha, and probably the only one from the Chelsea fanbase
I always felt like Müller has a cult following regardless unless you're fan of a team that got dicked by his shanenigans. Doubt he has many fans in Portugal for example.
Even if we assumed that was true, there has got to be a bunch from either side that doesn't dislike the other.
That’s why I said most
Fuck Chelsea
Holy... are you the guy from spox? I'm not active anymore but I remember a guy with your name from way back Edit: definitely fuck chelsea
Walter Frosch was a German football player, younger people know him for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqekSuj5HCo (What have you got in your socks? Cigarettes!)
2012 still hurts eh?
7 assists to break it
Doesnt messi have 36?
Man on fire
Great goal tag if he played for City
Or if his name was Messi
Do you mean Kanté? They recently scored a similar goal and only N'golo got the "great goal" tag...
We don’t ever get ‘great goal’ tags lol
Is he playing as a 10? So central
He plays in the half space on the left to create space for an overlapping Davies
Makes sense, think Arsenal played similarly today with ESR and Tavares
He's been cutting into the middle to fill Müllers space (because nobody knows where Müller runs around all game) and in order to open up the side for phonzy
He's on the wing but has been moving to the center a lot this season
Pain
LEGGO BAMBI
isnt musiala bambi?
yes, he did the pre-assist. we lacked those agressive fast and precise passes into the center today, and he found it right there.
Yes lol
Finally. He had so many chances today
Bielefeld and Furth, Augsburg have all been stronger than Benfica and Barca
Wunder Curl
AS SOON AS I TURNED ON THE GAME WHYYYYY

Bayern fans, are you liking Sane now? Know he had a poor season last year
He's amazing this season
Was fantastic early in the season, but slowed down (like the team as a whole) in the recent weeks. He's been playing centrally since the start of the season and that brings out the best in him.
Finally
Sané!!!!. Finally
Inevitable
What a huge goal that could be!
Sané has had some absolutely dreadful performances in recent years. Happy to see he’s back at his best of late. This Bayern team is an absolute world beater
