The Gerd Muller Trophy is awarded for the best goalscorer of the year and was renamed in honor of the legendary German striker after his passing.
The prize was previously known as the Striker of the Year award prior to its renaming in 2021 to recognize Gerd Muller, a Bayern Munich icon.
Erling Haaland won the Gerd Muller Trophy in 2023, scoring a remarkable 56 goals for club and country during the 2023/24 season.
While the Ballon d'Or highlights overall excellence in football, the Gerd Muller Trophy specifically rewards the highest scoring player, separating goal scoring from other accomplishments.
