"It's a corridor brimming with history. Shirts hang to the left and right, each with the same number, each with its own chapter of FC Bayern DNA. The number 7. Mehmet Scholl. Franck Ribéry. And at the end of this corridor is another one. Still warm, still in motion. Serge Gnabry. At FC Bayern, the number 7 is more than just a shirt number."
"Scholl was the subtle pace-setter of the 90s and early 2000s. Someone who understood what the game was about before it happened. 469 competitive appearances, 117 goals, 18 titles - figures that don't fully reflect his importance. Scholl wasn't the loudest, but he was one of the cleverest. Between his first Bundesliga game in 1992 and his last in 2007, only Giovane Élber scored more league goals for FC Bayern than him (87)."
A corridor in the club displays shirts bearing the number 7 as a symbol of club history and identity. The number stands for flair, power, courage and responsibility, rewarding players who decide matches through genius or perseverance. Mehmet Scholl embodied subtle vision, timing and composure across 469 competitive appearances, 117 goals and 18 titles, and scored 87 Bundesliga goals for Bayern between 1992 and 2007. Franck Ribéry brought explosive pace, dribbling and emotion, compiling 425 appearances, 124 goals, 23 titles, 92 Bundesliga assists in 273 games and 86 Bundesliga goals. Serge Gnabry currently carries the shirt and continues the legacy.
