Greatest European Championship XI of all time

Gerd Muller (Striker)

Gerd Muller was the ultimate fox in the box for Germany, scoring 68 goals in his career

Gerd Muller was the ultimate goalmouth poacher for Germany having scored 68 goals for them in 62 appearances. His statistics for all competitions are exemplary and he had a habit of scoring goals in crunch occasions.

Gerd Muller scored 4 goals in Germany’s 1972 Euro win, scoring both goals in Germany’s 2-1 semi-final victory over Belgium and adding another brace in the finals against the Soviet Union. He was featured in the team of the tournament and was the top scorer in that edition of the Euros.

His lethal finishing and instinct for goal would give another dimension to the already dangerous attack.
