The record national player comments on the situation of Thomas Müller at FC Bayern – and is frightened. Reason: The playoff second leg in the Champions League against Celtic Glasgow.
Bayern star Thomas Müller’s short champions League deployment in the playoff second leg against Celtic Glasgow (1-1) “shocked” Lothar Matthäus. “This is a humiliation. That made me sad and I’m sorry for him,” said the Sky expert about the 2014 world champion in the home game against Celtic.
What exactly happened? Müller had only been substituted against the Scots by coach Vincent Kompany in the 95th minute for Jamal Musiala. According to Sky Sport, his commitment on the square only lasted 24 seconds. FC Bayern had only saved himself into the round of 16 of the premier class during the draw against the Scottish champion with a late goal by Alphonso Davies. Previously, the ex-Bayern talent Nicolas Kühn had not given the guests 1-0 in the lead (63.). Despite great superiority, the Munich team had just won the first leg in Glasgow 2-1.
Müller, who has been in the club since 2000, does not have to put up with such treatment, Matthew emphasized. “He is one of the greatest and most successful players ever. So for the few seconds the coach can take another player,” said the 63-year-old clearly.
Müller’s contract in Munich expires at the end of the season. It is still open whether there is an extension. “If this is the perspective for the future, it should do something else,” advised Matthew. He would have “felt stupid” in Müller’s place.
