Havertz Equals Thomas Muller's Historic World Cup Achievement
German star Kai Havertz continued to shine in the 2026 World Cup, becoming the first player to score 5 goals in his first 6 matches with the German national team in the World Cup since Thomas Müller in the 2010 tournament.
Havertz reached this milestone after his recent goal in the tournament against Paraguay, replicating the remarkable start achieved by Thomas Müller 16 years ago when he scored five goals in his first six World Cup matches, on his way to winning the Golden Boot in the 2010 South Africa edition.
This figure underscores Havertz's growing status as one of the leading stars of the German national team, having become coach Julian Nagelsmann's primary offensive weapon, thanks to his scoring instinct and ability to make decisive plays in major matches.
Havertz aspires to continue his goal-scoring streak in the knockout stages and lead "Die Mannschaft" in competing for the World Cup title, drawing inspiration from the historic performance of Thomas Müller in the 2010 edition before he was crowned champion with Germany in the 2014 World Cup.
