Thomas Müller: Slapstick insert in Bayern’s victory at Eintracht Frankfurt | Sports

“Will circulate on the internet” |

Müller laughs at the missed mega opportunity

Bayern won their opening game at Eintracht Frankfurt comfortably 6-1 on Friday evening. Kimmich (5th), Pavard (10th), Mané (29th), Musiala (35th/83rd) and Gnabry (43rd) were the scorers.

A scene went down in view of the result. Thomas Müller caused a lot of laughter with a slapstick insert in the 23rd minute … what exactly happened and what the Bayern star himself says about the completely unsuccessful action!

23 minutes: Bayern are already 2-0 up: Gnabry is on the ball, Müller to his right. In a 2-on-1 they run towards Frankfurt goalkeeper Trapp. Gnabry plays a somewhat imprecise and technically unclean cross pass to Müller, Kostic almost intervenes and irritates Müller. Müller falls down when he graduates and stumbles the ball towards the goal, almost like a dying swan. The ball bounces against the post, from there against Müller’s head and Frankfurt can clarify.

After the game, Müller spoke about the action on “Sat1”: “So it will probably be circulating on the Internet”. He explains: “You have to stand over it, shake it off – and keep going!”

However, he did not take his teammate Gnabry out of the criticism: “Serge had a lot of time to think, then unfortunately the pass was a little short for him.” Müller saw the end of his stumble scene with humor: “It would have been nice , if I had potted the rebound with my head.”

In the situation, some may have remembered Müller’s slapstick performance at the 2014 World Cup in the round of 16 against Algeria. At that time he had stumbled on the run-up to a free kick and fell to his knees before the ball. However, the free-kick stumble was intentional, as the world champion later revealed.

Luckily for Müller, Bayern won 6-1 in Frankfurt – otherwise this scene would certainly have been a bigger topic of conversation. Nevertheless, Müller delivered a strong game with two assists and received the BILD grade 1.
