Thomas Müller, that unfriendly face that Barça is facing again

The 32-year-old striker has played for Barça six times, won five of those matches and scored in his team’s five victories against Barça. The last precedent is the same season in the first duel of the group stage, in which the Bavarian team won at the Camp Nou with a comfortable 0-3. Müller scored the first of three goals in a thrashing by Robert Lewandowski with a double. In fact, the Polish striker has beaten Barça four times in the Champions League.

Müller’s other goals are the double he scored in the 2-8 in Lisbon, in the quarterfinals of the 2019-20 edition; a goal in the 3-2 in the semifinals of 2015, a sterile victory because Luis Enrique’s Barça -who would finish champion that year- had won 3-0 in the first leg; and, finally, the Bavarian saw goal against the team of Tito Vilanova both in the first leg and in the return leg of the semifinals of 2013. In the first leg in Munich he made a double and Bayern won 4-0, while at the Camp Nou he scored one of the three goals with which the Germans won on Catalan soil (0-3).

He threatens Barça

Müller, who has always explained that where he performs best is in the midfield, has already taken charge of warming up the previous one with some statements on social media. After Messi won the Golden Ball, the German described the result as “disappointing” because the Argentine beat Lewandowski, his teammate and top scorer in Europe last year with 41 goals. “We have great players in the Bundesliga, and we need more international success for world recognition. This is also a great motivation for me to do my best and try to bring the Champions League to Munich and show the world what is happening, and the next opportunity to prove it is next Wednesday in the match against Barça “. wrote the black beast of the azulgranas.
