Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich has been a mainstay at the club for a few years now.

The versatile player, who has played both as right-back and defensive midfielder, has racked up a lot of assists for the club. He has assisted 75 times in 279 games. Kimmich has enjoyed a great start to his 2021-22 campaign, scoring thrice and laying four assists.

He has been an undroppable player for Bayern Munich for a while. Under Julian Nagelsmann, he has started every game this campaign, and was substituted before the final whistle only twice.

The German is known for his intensity and aggression. His decision-making and playmaking abilities have often seen him take control of midfield and produce moments of magic. Kimmich has won 17 trophies with Bayern Munich, which includes one Champions League title and six consecutive Bundesliga titles.


#2 Robert Lewandowski - 88

Robert Lewandowski might arguably be the best free transfer of all time in the history of the game.

For almost a decade now, he has single-handedly and consistently scored goals for Bayern Munich. But there's nothing new there. What's impressive, though, is that the Pole has also set up his colleagues to score on numerous occasions, demonstrating another facet of his game.

Lewandowski has assisted 88 times in his Bayern Munich career. In his first Bundesliga game for the Bavarians, he failed to score but provided an assist. The Poland international closely missed out on the 2021 Ballon d'Or, as Lionel Messi added a seventh to his bag. However, he did win the inaugural Striker of the Year award.

The Bayern Munich forward is off to another fabulous start, bagging 27 goals and four assists in just 21 games this season. Last season, Lewandowski (41) broke late German legend Gerd Muller's record of 40 goals in a Bundesliga campaign.

At 33, the Pole is showing no signs of slowing down just yet. He is hungrier than ever and wants more goals for himself and his teammates.


#1 Thomas Muller - 252

Thomas Muller is a Germany and Bayern Munich legend. He is renowned for being the Raumdeuter (interpreter of space), piling up an extraordinary number of goal contributions for the club.

In 604 appearances for the club so far, he has made a whopping 472 goal contributions. Nevertheless, he remains an underrated player. He has racked up a record 252 assists, including 22 this year, for Bayern, his boyhood club.

Muller's ability to roam around, find pockets of space to function in and ability to play the final ball is quite unmatched. Occupying the right areas on the pitch is no easy task, which shows Muller's exemplary anticipation and reading of the game.

At just 20, the Germany international won the Golden Boot at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and has not looked back since then. The two-time UEFA Champions League winner is also the highest scoring German in the tournament, having scored 49 goals, all for Bayern Munich.
