During an interview appointment with Gary Lineker, Thomas Müller presented the English football legend with a special gift.

Munich - Big visit to Säbener Straße!

English football legend Gary Lineker visited the FC Bayern Munich club center last Wednesday to conduct an interview with Thomas Müller.

Lineker's anticipation of this appointment with Müller was already evident in advance when he announced in a tweet that he would be interviewing one of his "favourite players ever".

But the appreciation was probably entirely mutual.

Because a few hours later, a picture appeared on Lineker's social media channels in which the 61-year-old is holding a Bayern jersey with the player name "Mülleker" in the camera.

So Müller and Lineker become “Mülleker”!

With "Thank you", the English football icon thanked him for the special gift that Müller must have given him during the interview.

Müller also responded on social media, writing to Lineker: "You are a Twitter legend Gary!

Have fun with the jersey".

Lineker is considered one of the finest kickers to emerge from football's motherland, England.

The former striker is still England's record goalscorer at the World Cup with ten goals.

A mark that Müller has already cracked.

The 32-year-old Bayern star also has ten World Cup goals and could overtake Lineker at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar next November.

In view of his special preparation for the World Cup, this undertaking seems more than realistic.

In all likelihood, Manuel Neuer and Joshua Kimmich, who together with Müller form the leading trio in the Bayern squad, will also be there at the World Cup.

Incidentally, the list of the most successful World Cup goalscorers is also headed by a German player.

With 16 goals, Miroslav Klose is enthroned in this elite group of World Cup goalscorers ahead of none other than Ronaldo (15 goals).

Gerd Müller follows in third place with 14 goals.
