Thomas Müller and the Vancouver Whitecaps are aiming for the title in the MLS final against Inter Miami on Saturday evening (8:30 p.m.). The 2014 world champion is eager for the duel against Lionel Messi and Co. – and draws a comparison to FC Bayern.
Only one more step to the big goal: Thomas Müller will be playing with the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday (8:30 p.m.). sport.de-Live ticker) at Inter Miami. In Florida it’s about nothing less than the MLS championship.
“There’s really something going on in Vancouver right now. The whole city is in football fever,” Müller revealed in his monthly newsletter: “We won the conference, yes baby. And of course we celebrated as a team.”
But the 36-year-old looked straight ahead. The “Raumdeuter” sees parallels to his long-time employer from Munich.

“It was immediately clear: Job is not done. One step is still missing. I liked that. That’s what I know from FC Bayern – a semi-final is nice, but logically it’s always about the whole mess,” said Müller.
In the week before the showdown it’s about “finding the right mix of focus and relaxedness. Everyone in their own way. We know the rhythm and know how to organize the last days of training – that gives security,” said the FC Bayern club legend.
Thomas Müller expects “madhouse in Miami”
Müller is looking forward to his ninth meeting with Messi. “And what could be better than playing against the GOAT, against Messi – and beating him?” said the 2014 world champion.
Müller was sure: “It will be a madhouse in Miami, a real football festival according to my taste.”
According to the veteran, Vancouver doesn’t have to hide from the Argentine superstar. “The Whitecaps beat Inter Miami before my time, even with Messi. That gives you self-confidence,” recalled Müller.
