Bayern Munich is a breeding ground for legends of the beautiful game. Bayern Munich players such as Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller are revered by many in the game including plenty of fans who never watched them play live. Müller still holds the record for the highest number of goals overall in the Bundesliga while Beckenbauer’s elegance captured the hearts of soccer fans for years.

Meanwhile, Jamal Musiala showed the ultimate respect to the legend whose position he does not quite fit .
