Starting with his pace, it feels better than what you’d expect from his build. He doesn’t rely on long sprint duels down the wings, but his acceleration and first few steps are sharp.

His shooting with his strong foot is where he truly becomes elite. Inside the box, he is almost automatic. First-time shots, quick turns followed by a strike, low-driven shots, and power finishes all feel extremely consistent.

On the ball, Müller feels surprisingly smooth. He’s not a skill-based dribbler, but his close control is tight, and his touches are clean.

Physically, he is much stronger than his appearance suggests. He can hold off defenders, absorb contact, and still get shots away without losing balance.
