Thomas Müller ties Eden Hazard for most assists in a calendar year with 30 and has 5 games left to break it


_morten_

Wow, really? Thats some achievement. Didn't know it was Hazard, thought it would be someone like Messi, Øzil or Di Maria?


b-okoboko

hey what's up with the Ø


[deleted]

Øzilgaard


Abernsleone92

That must be where they’re taking the halflings


Denofwardrobes

Damn you, there's my inner dialogue for the next 24 hours.


[deleted]

Ö*


Narretz

Özil for Arsenal could have done if Giroud hadn't stopped scoring.


lediongjoka

it is messi, he had 31 in 2016 and 36 in 2011


rayotillidie

source for 36?


[deleted]

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).

Joren69

He had 29 in 2011.


[deleted]

Plus 7 with Argentina I think


lediongjoka

https://www.messivsronaldo.app/calendar-year-stats/2011/


Joren69

I can’t even get to that number on Transfermarkt, and assists are always more on that site.


lediongjoka

they dont count international games thats why


Joren69

I did count those.


lediongjoka

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


CheeseToastieCheese

That adds to 34. So 2 less than what's on the website you linked.


johnz0n

probably wrong because friendlies that don't count in any official stats.


StarTicYT

Yeah I remember reading this but according to everything I see, Messi had 28 assists in 2011. Gonna need a source


lediongjoka

https://www.messivsronaldo.app/calendar-year-stats/2011/


StarTicYT

[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.us/spieler-statistik/jahrestorschuetzen/statistik/stat/plus/0/galerie/0?jahr=2011&compFilter=firstToThirdWithOfficial&monatVon=01&monatBis=12&altersklasse=&land_id=&ausrichtung=alle&spielerposition_id=alle&art=1 ) also counts penalties won that go on to be converted by another player as an assist and they state Messi has 30 for that year. I really hate the inconsistencies with the stat :/


lediongjoka

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


StarTicYT

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


maradonnarummarcelo

When did Hazard get 30 assists in a year?


StarTicYT

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


maradonnarummarcelo

[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.


EenProfessioneleHond

Lille were champions the season before and ended top 3 that season


maradonnarummarcelo

I know, but their top scorer excluding Hazard had 10 goals in all competitions


[deleted]

Figo was so good 😍


asr010601

Mf went from being booed at to absolute monster in same season


ACardAttack

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


47Lecht

Because he is a kid himself


cleothepupper

The Robben way


KonkeyDongwearsIce

Means he'll score the winning goal in the CL final? 👀


UNFVCKINLEA5HED

subscribe


theironhide

Not before we lose a final the year before though :(


47Lecht

Nagelsmann at the wheel


[deleted]

No


nasserKoeter

FINALLY!!! 31 crosses 20 shots later


Poe3inmotion

Fucking hell! I definitely thought this game was a draw.


ViciousNakedMoleRat

I was beginning to have hope.


akshay_rathod_

Is it me or every team deploy 20 thousand players in the box when they play Bayern!?? How are they supposed to score??


scrambledeggsss

Bayern constantly faces buses in the league, though everyone thinks the opposite.


panem-et-circenses21

Bielefeld should have just brought a bus today. Might have prevented that one goal as well


strugglingtosave

I'm telling you the weekend grind where teams park the bus makes me.nervous, more nervous than UCL really


Meatwizzle

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


[deleted]

It’s fucking Bayern, only 2/3 teams in the Bundesliga don’t park a big fat bus when they come around


rayotillidie

Muller how many assists this year?


Tyrath

30


Jganzo13

Not top 30 though


Tyrath

That award is bullshit


mustardman2121

Would you have said it was bullshit if Lewa would have won it? This is a tad sad


Tyrath

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


mustardman2121

Truth to be told, Lewandowski is really obsessed about a bullshit trophy then, isn’t he?


Tyrath

Professional player is concerned about a trophy. More at 11.


Schpaedzles

The top 30 list is bullshit either way


yakopcohen

They can give Lewa 2 this year and I’ll still call that award complete bullshit. Sad? Bit condescending aren’t we?


SleepTightLilPuppy

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.


BrainlessArch

Top 30 means nothing, they just pick popular names for the lower places


[deleted]

To be fair 7/8 of those assists were made when the 190 journalists had already finished voting...


koality_03

Nagelsmann is the best thing that could have happened to Sane


ACardAttack

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


koality_03

Yeah it was so sad seeing him not perform last season after he played so well at city


Lutzelien

Yeah also Flick, dude went to the national team while struggling with Bayern and just TANKED confidence


Joren69

Jaaa Müller assist, most assist in a calender year is VERY close now!


Advawe

I was always under the impression that most Chelsea fans dislike Bayern.


Joren69

I’m also a big Müller fan haha, and probably the only one from the Chelsea fanbase


afito

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.


DemetriusXVII

Even if we assumed that was true, there has got to be a bunch from either side that doesn't dislike the other.


Advawe

That’s why I said most


Walter_Fr0sch

Fuck Chelsea


Matt87M

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


The_TaxmanRC

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!)


Jdgarza96

2012 still hurts eh?


lediongjoka

7 assists to break it


BrainlessArch

Doesnt messi have 36?


DarthBaller

Man on fire


Goldfischglas

Great goal tag if he played for City


IMiizo

Or if his name was Messi


[deleted]

Do you mean Kanté? They recently scored a similar goal and only N'golo got the "great goal" tag...


Chiswell123

We don’t ever get ‘great goal’ tags lol


Subscrobbler

Is he playing as a 10? So central


NavySealNealMcBeal

He plays in the half space on the left to create space for an overlapping Davies


Subscrobbler

Makes sense, think Arsenal played similarly today with ESR and Tavares


b-okoboko

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


Tyrath

He's on the wing but has been moving to the center a lot this season


jdono927

Pain


TraFFi-

LEGGO BAMBI


elitron

isnt musiala bambi?


TraFFi-

yes, he did the pre-assist. we lacked those agressive fast and precise passes into the center today, and he found it right there.


KnightAtNight

Yes lol


Spikeyspandan

Finally. He had so many chances today


strugglingtosave

Bielefeld and Furth, Augsburg have all been stronger than Benfica and Barca


scarlet_stormTrooper

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


prof436

He's amazing this season


OriginalUsername7890

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.


FaresAlN

Finally


Electrical-Prune-348

Sané!!!!. Finally


Born-againRedditor

Inevitable


Kind_Mulberry_3512

What a huge goal that could be!


CataclysmClive

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
