Muller in my opinion is one of the most underrated players of his generation. His records and feats are not talked about enough.

I don’t see him beeaking the World Cup goal record in Qatar though. It Depends on how far they’ll go. Plus, Muller won’t be their main goal scorer this time with the likes of Sané, Gnabry and Musiala in the team.
