Thomas Müller is looking ahead to his former club’s Champions League season with great confidence. The 2014 world champion is convinced that Bayern have everything they need to make it to the final of the premier class
„I say they’ll make it to the final,“ Müller explained in an interview with Sport BILD – and provided clear reasons for this. In his view, the German record champions currently have the right overall package. „They are well-rehearsed as a team, they have good individual players and have a broad personnel base, especially in defence,“ said the long-serving Bayern star
Müller praises balance and depth in the Bayern squad
Müller particularly emphasizes the team’s unity. Despite the recent loss of points in the Bundesliga, he sees no signs of a crisis. Rather, he says, it is noticeable that the team believes in itself. „You can feel the confidence and hunger in this team,“ emphasizes the 36-year-old
In attack, Müller believes Bayern’s success is primarily down to the fitness of their key players. If players such as Harry Kane or Michael Olise remain fit over the crucial spring months, the former attacking player sees hardly any limits for FCB
Munich’s starting position underlines his assessment: they are still six points ahead of their rivals in the Bundesliga, finished second in the Champions League group stage and have a quarter-final against RB Leipzig in the DFB Cup. The dream of a treble is alive – at least in theory
Dreams of their own in the MLS: Müller hopes for Messi revenge
While Bayern are fighting for Europe’s crown, Müller himself is pursuing new goals. He has been under contract with the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS since 2025 – and still has unfinished business there
„Of course, I’d like us to reach the final again this season and then face Inter Miami and Messi again,“ said Müller, referring to the MLS final he lost in the previous season, when his team were beaten 3-1 by Lionel Messi’s club. „As I said, we still have unfinished business there.“
Two worlds, two big goals – but Thomas Müller remains true to one thing: when it comes to FC Bayern, he still firmly believes in the big time.
