Bayern Munich mega-player Thomas Müller also congratulates Leverkusen, saying they are better this year.

In his fan newsletter, Thomas Müller complained of a dismal performance versus Dortmund and offered homage to Bayer Leverkusen’s performance. „The position at the table doesn’t allow much room for guesswork. Leverkusen didn’t show any weakness, and we didn’t deliver.

The dismal effort against BVB and Leverkusen’s last-minute win unfortunately fit into this picture once again,“ said Müller. The Bayern player expressed his dissatisfaction at the wasted opportunities and the team’s infrequent performance, but at the same time underlined Leverkusen’s run of success.

To remain unblemished at this juncture in the season is incredibly strong. My compliments on this streak of success,“ emphasised the 34-year-old.

While coach Thomas Tuchel’s congratulations to Leverkusen following the defeat to Dortmund had already caused Bayern managers to frown, Müller’s statement seems to continue in a similar direction: So the championship probably belongs to Leverkusen. I’m frustrated that we didn’t put in a stronger effort and were rarely able to display our potential.“

At the same time, however, he also holds the team accountable. „At FCB, we now have to spoon up the soup that we’ve prepared for ourselves,“ said the veteran. Bayern now faces a test of character.

The distance to Leverkusen is currently 13 points, and the championship race appears to be decided. Nevertheless, the club is still pushed to secure second place in the remaining Bundesliga games and complete the season in style. However, the focus now moves to the Champions League, where a huge hurdle awaits in the form of FC Arsenal in the quarterfinals.
