10 fittest European footballers of all time

6) Thomas Muller

Over the last few years, no other Bayern player has been involved in more goals than Thomas Muller. He is actually the most consistent player in a star-studded Bayern Munich squad.

Muller is probably the best at off-ball movement. He makes intelligent runs which create space, both for himself and his teammates, and always seems to be in the right place at the right time which has won him critical acclaim.

Muller does lack physical strength and is not a freak of nature but he also has never suffered a major injury, he isn’t the quickest or most athletic player like his peers.

What makes Thomas Muller injury-free is that he employs a smart and careful style of play, he played in all 34 Bundesliga games throughout his first seasons at the club and when available will always suit up for his local club and give it his all.
