The reason why Thomas Muller isn’t considered a G.O.A.T like Messi and Ronaldo because there is no way to measure his contribution in terms of footballing statistics. He has a 1 goal/assist every 130 minutes in all competitions, but that is much lesser than Ronaldo and Messi who rack up 30+ goals every season. The fact that he creates so many opportunities and space for his teammates can’t be taken into account.
He has been top in assists in 4 out of last six Bundesliga seasons. He managed to finish 5th in Ballon D’Or, but Thiery Henry felt he should have been there in the podium for his efforts.
Many football fans don’t understand Muller’s role and label him as overrated due to his style. Guardiola who coached Muller at Bayern says he might not look like he is contributing on the ball in the buildup, but he is one of the most talented footballers.
