After the 0-1 defeat in Rome, Munich defeated Lazio and are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It is a success with structure. But that is only one truth. Thomas Müller explains the other one.
It is almost midnight in the football arena in Munich when the next witness comes into the interview zone who could solve the case, which is suddenly the most attention-grabbing of the evening. Joshua Kimmich, FC Bayern’s leading player, stops where the journalists are already waiting.
In the following minutes, in which he asks himself the questions, it’s about the game against Lazio Rome, which his team has just won, about the Champions League, which his team can still win, and about the constellation in his club, who hasn’t actually known any winners for weeks.
