FC Bayern: For Müller, “everything is okay”
“I absolutely not felt that,” said Müller at the streaming service “DAZN” after the game of the game on Sunday evening: “We are all in the squad to put ourselves in the service of the club. Everything is okay.” It was more out of the matter than in there, he said.
