I'd put Muller above Messi.
Not only did he score ton's of goals for Munich helping them win lots of league titles and 3 European cups (scoring in 2 of the 3 finals), he was also prolific at the top level on the biggest stage, winning the Golden boot at the 1970 World cup and scoring the winning goal in the 74 final against your boys. In between that he also won the European championships with his country (he scored in that final too).
