And as such after the injury -related failure of Jamal Musiala (muscle bundle tear) in the crucial phase of the season, an enormously important factor for his chief coach. “Thomas has the feeling of doing something in the narrow room. I hope it still happens often,” said Kompany.
At the end of the season, however, Müller is definitely the end of Bayern. This made board boss Jan-Christian Dreesen again. “We made a decision,” said Dreesen. And at the same time Müller opened the door at Bavaria again for the time after the active career. “We will always stay connected to each other, he also said – in whatever form. I think it will still give many good moments together.”
Team colleague Harry Kane was also impressed by Müller’s appearance against Milan, who electrified the entire stadium. Immediately in front of his goal, Müller made a dangerous shot that was still looked at the last moment. “He did something,” said Kane. After the emotional reception, “Thomas paid the fans a little back” and did a big favor with his compensation gate. “Thomas is still in a top constitution, both mentally and physically,” continued Kane. “Whenever he gets minutes, he becomes dangerous and helps the team, just like today.”
However, Müller himself has long since recognized the signs of the times. “So I might be too old now,” said Müller when asked whether it was not frustrating for him not to have been in the starting eleven despite Musialas failure. “My role throughout the season was not that the squad was built around me, but I always tried to support the team, no matter how many minutes,” he explained.
