Bayern icon Thomas Müller sees his former club as “probably the hottest team in Europe” ahead of the top Champions League clash with titleholder Paris Saint-Germain. “Not only from the results, but also from the performance. This dominant football is really fun to watch,” the 36-year-old wrote in his newsletter before Tuesday’s match.
Despite the time difference in Vancouver, he still watches “Bayern games as much as possible. Firstly, because I am deeply connected to FC Bayern in many ways. I still have a hot line to the team. Secondly, to see where the bar is set in international football,” Müller said. For example, the first half of the 2-1 win against Dortmund “showed every football fan quite well what’s what.”
Kane? “I’m not surprised that he’s putting up such numbers”
Müller is particularly impressed with striker Harry Kane. “I’m not surprised that he’s putting up such numbers. But the way he does it – defending as an all-around player, distributing balls, finding through balls – really impressive,” praised the 2014 World Champion.
He is often asked whether Kane “is currently the best player in the world. In my football world, there is no THE best player – too many factors play a role. But if there were a best player, he would be a very hot candidate at the moment,” Müller wrote.
The former Munich player is currently with the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Major League Soccer (MLS) playoffs. The Caps have reached the Conference Semifinals.
“I’m ready for it. It’s about the Sausage. For me personally, things are going really well. I can fully contribute my qualities,” Müller said: His physical data is “at a very good level, almost identical to that of the last 15 years. Nothing has changed. So, full steam ahead, the motor is running.”
