'Gomez can break mark'
German goalscoring legend Gerd Mueller says he is confident that current Bayern Munich starlet Mario Gomez can beat his record of 40 goals in a Bundesliga season which "Der Bomber" set in 1972.
"He is capable of beating my record, there is no doubt about that. And I would be happy for it to be beaten by a Bayern player," Mueller told German daily Bild.
Gomez, 26, was top of the scoring charts last season with 28 strikes but this season has already netted ten times in only nine games.
Mueller was top scorer seven times and beat the 30 barrier five times for a total of 365 goals in 427 matches.
Since then only Dieter Mueller had managed more than 30 - he netted 34 times for Cologne in the 1976-77 season.
