Eintracht Frankfurt

The midfielder began his career at BSC Schwarz-Weiß in 1919 Frankfurt and moved to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1981. In 1985 he won the German A-Youth Championship and in the same year he joined the professional squad. He played his first game in Germany's top football class on the last day of the match in the 0-1 defeat on April 26, 1986 against Hamburger SV . In the following season he came on 22 missions. He played himself more and more into the team structure and on the 5th matchday against 1. FC Kaiserslautern he scored his first professional goal in league play when he converted a penalty kick to 1: 2 subsequent goal; it was his only goal of the season. In the 1987/88 season, the dribbling youngster developed into a top performer. Möller scored twice in his first game of the season on matchday five against Bayer 04 Leverkusen .

Borussia Dortmund

In the winter break of 1987/88 Borussia Dortmund signed the playmaker . On his debut for the Black and Yellows, Möller scored in the 42nd minute in the home stadium to take the lead against VfL Bochum . However, the game was lost 2-1, although BVB led 1-0 up to the 88th minute. Against his future employer, FC Schalke 04, Möller received his first and only red card on matchday 26 of the 1987/88 season, but only had to watch one game. In the DFB Cup of the 1988/89 season, Möller advanced with the team to the final. There you met the team from Werder Bremen . After a clear 4-1 win against the North Germans, his first national title was perfect.

Eintracht Frankfurt and Juventus Turin

He was a top performer at Borussia, but returned to Frankfurt in the summer of 1990.

In the first year after his return, he scored 16 goals in the Bundesliga, setting his personal record that he would not surpass until the end of his career.

Möller also wanted to play for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1992/93 season. However, he had guaranteed the Serie A club Juventus Turin an option right for DM 1.3 million , which the club redeemed in March 1992. Juventus Turin had resold this option to Atalanta Bergamo , where Möller would have had to move if Juventus had not exercised the option itself. The FIFA had to provide for the avoidance of doubt Möller was tied to the option and had to switch to 1 July 1992 to Italy, which he had to buy out against payment of DM 5 million from his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Möller won the UEFA Cup with the Old Lady Turin in 1993 under Giovanni Trapattoni . Opponent on May 5th and 19th was his former and future employer, Borussia Dortmund. Juve won the final clearly with a 3-1 and 3-0. Möller was in the starting line-up in both games and scored the third goal in the second leg.

Borussia Dortmund (second commitment)

Although he performed well at Juventus Turin, Möller decided in the summer of 1994 to return to Germany and signed for Borussia Dortmund for the second time. He stayed with the ball game club for a total of six years, regularly scoring goals and playing time accordingly. Especially in the championship years 1995 and 1996 Möller showed his class as a game designer, preparer and goalscorer. At that time he was considered one of the most dangerous midfielders. The greatest success at club level was the 3-1 victory in the final of the 1996/97 Champions League on May 28, 1997 in the Munich Olympic Stadium. Opponent was his former employer Juventus Turin, and Möller was on the winners' side this time too. In his last year with the black and yellow he came to only 18 missions, where he was substituted on or off seven times. Reasons for this were the strong competition from players like Lars Ricken , Christian Nerlinger , Miroslav Stević and Wladimir But as well as minor injuries.

During this time there was a discussion about Möller, who faked a foul on April 13, 1995 in a game against Karlsruher SC when the score was 0-1 . The wrongly imposed penalty resulted in 1: 1 (final score 2: 1 for Dortmund). Möller tried to justify his swallow and attacked the then KSC trainer Winfried Schäfer . Möller was sentenced by the DFB sports court to a ban of two games and a fine of 10,000 DM. This made him the first player ever to be banned by the DFB because of a swallow. National coach Berti Vogts had to temporarily remove him from the national team due to his suspension in the league.

Schalke 04

To venture a fresh start, he decided in the summer of 2000 to sign with Dortmund's arch-rival Schalke 04, especially since he received a well-paid offer from Rudi Assauer . There he became a regular player right away, despite critical voices, and in his first year formed the basic structure of the Schalke midfield with Jörg Böhme , Radoslav Látal and Jiří Němec . Schalke took second place in the Bundesliga at the end of the 2000/01 season and won the DFB Cup final. The DFB Cup was defended the following year. After two good years, the 2002/03 season was followed by another sporting step backwards and Möller increasingly became a supplementary player. Although he came to 22 games under the coaches Frank Neubarth and later Marc Wilmots , he was substituted on or off nine times.

Eintracht Frankfurt (second return)

For the 2003/04 season Möller went back to Hessen to his home club Eintracht Frankfurt, which had just been promoted back to the Bundesliga. Hailed by fans before the season as a big returnee and guarantee of success, disillusionment quickly spread. Möller only played eleven league games and only played 90 minutes twice, and he did not succeed in helping the club to stay in class. Möller made his last professional game on February 28, 2004, when he was substituted on in the 89th minute in the 3-1 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach . On March 2, 2004, he announced his retirement and ended his active career.

National team

In 1987 he took part in the World Cup in Chile with the U-20 national team and became vice world champion.

For the national team he played 85 games from 1988 to 1999 and scored 29 goals, four times he led the team as captain. He took part in three soccer world championships, including winning the title in Italy in 1990 , where he was substituted on twice. He played his personal best tournament in the national team at the 1996 European Football Championship in England. In the semi-final game against England he was the captain and converted the decisive penalty in the penalty shoot-out . Möller shot the German team into the final, for which he was banned due to two yellow cards.

For winning the World Cup, he and the entire team received the Silver Laurel Leaf on October 15, 1990 .
