With his commitment in the quarter -finals of the Champions League at Inter Milan, Thomas Müller was equated with Lionel Messi. The icon of Bayern Munich played its 163rd game in the premier class and is therefore in third place in the operational ranking (for statistics; Müller’s use is only performed after the final whistle). With 183 games, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the first place in Spain’s ex-national goalkeeper Iker Casillas (177).
“It’s great. Two extraordinary players with different qualities,” said Bayern’s sports director Max Eberl at DAZN. You will do everything to ensure that it will not be the last mission in the Champions League. “It is completely clear to me that we have to become more efficient in our chances to score. And otherwise just play football, freed football without inhibitions,” said Müller before the game.
The 35-year-old had scored the Bayern goal in the first leg in the first leg. It was the first game after the announcement that the record champion would not give the veteran a new contract. Müller is still used, as the starting eleven missions on Saturday against Dortmund and now in Milan. “Neither against Inter nor against Dortmund feels a satisfaction,” said Müller. “Rather, the joy prevails that I will be left out of the leash again.”
