Bayern Munich midfielder Thomas Müller said ahead of next week’s game against Barcelona that it is a shame the Catalan team no longer has Lionel Messi in their ranks.
«In general it is a pity that he is gone. When you play against a team that has Lionel Messi it is something that gives an additional motivation to all because we all know what he has achieved, “said Müller in statements collected by German media.
Müller admitted, on the other hand, that it is difficult for him to value Barcelona without Messi and commented that he does not know what awaits Bayern at the Camp Nou.
«I have to admit that at the moment I cannot value Barcelona. Without a doubt without Messi it will now be another team, “he said.
I don’t know if they need it. It is possible that without Messi they will have one more player who makes defensive contributions. I don’t know what awaits us. In any case a wonderful stadium against a great club, “he added.
Barcelona have been one of Müller’s favorite rivals in his career. In the last meeting, in which Bayern won 2-8 in Lisbon, Müller scored two goals, completing six goals in five official games against the Catalan team. EFE (HN)
