Muller & De Bruyne: Leaving legends legacies


Listen Later

As Thomas Muller and Kevin De Bruyne get ready to leave their clubs at the end of the season, how will they be remembered?

Thomas Muller has played the most games in the history of Bayern Munich with 743, while he is third on their all-time scorer's list with 247 goals and has won two Champions Leagues and 12 Bundesliga titles among 33 trophies in total with the German giants. German football expert Constantin Eckner joins World Football's Lee James to look back at Muller's legacy.

It's also the end of an era for Kevin De Bruyne, who announced that he'll be departing when Manchester City's season concluded.

The 33 year old has won 16 trophies since joining City from Wolfsburg in 2015, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2023 - scoring 106 goals in 413 appearances in all competitions for City.

So how will he be remembered? The former Premier League goalkeeper Brad Friedel and former Tottenham and Ireland defender Stephen Kelly shared their thoughts.
