FC Bayern humiliates Barcelona 8-2
FC Bayern are in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the twelfth time. After the historic 8: 2 against FC Barcelona in Lisbon, the goal is clear: The title should come and with it the triple.
Thomas Müller has been in top form for FC Bayern for months. The 30-year-old broke a record against Barcelona and was “Man of the Match”. Maybe it is time to get back to the national team?
When German football history is being written, Thomas Müller was not far recently. He scored twice in the legendary 7: 1 against Brazil in 2014 and now again in the 8: 2 against FC Barcelona.
In addition to the historic victory, the 30-year-old celebrated another milestone. Müller is now the only German record player in the Champions League. The ex-national player shared this soccer record with his former Munich team-mate Philipp Lahm (112 games) before the final tournament in Lisbon.

National coach Joachim Löw should at least consider this. “I think it’s a good idea to open the door a crack without announcing the big harbor tour,” said Scholl and explained: “Simply with common sense, but Jogi does it great too.” He has one A tough decision was made, but according to Scholl, he would be the first to revise it “if there really was a need”.
Müller was retired from the national team in spring 2019 together with Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng von Löw. Both Löw and Müller had repeatedly ruled out a comeback, but always kept a back door open in their statements.
After a long break, the national team will resume playing on September 3rd. In the Uefa Nations League, Germany meets Spain in Stuttgart. Löw will announce his nomination soon.
