Müller raves from Canada: "Bayern are Europe's hottest team right now" | OneFootball

Even after his move to the MLS, Thomas Müller has not lost sight of FC Bayern. With the Vancouver Whitecaps, the 36-year-old advanced to the quarterfinals of the playoffs over the weekend with a dramatic 5-3 penalty shootout win against FC Dallas – once again showing nerves of steel: Müller converted his team's first penalty and was previously involved in the late equalizer during injury time.

Despite the time difference and a full game schedule, he remains in close contact with Munich. In his personal newsletter, the former Bayern star spoke about the current form of his beloved club – and had only words of praise.

“Despite the time difference, I continue to watch Bayern games as best as I can,” wrote Müller. “On one hand, because I am deeply connected to FC Bayern in many ways. I still have a direct line to the team. On the other hand, to see where the bar is set in international football.”

The current form of the record champions particularly excites the 2014 World Cup winner: “FC Bayern is probably the hottest team in Europe right now. Not just in terms of results, but also in performance. This dominant football is really fun to watch.”

He watched the Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund live – and was impressed by Munich's performance: “The first half clearly showed every football fan what’s what.”

Müller on Harry Kane: “An All-Around Player”

Harry Kane also received an extra portion of praise from Müller: “It doesn't surprise me that he's putting up such numbers. But how he does it – defending as an all-around player, distributing balls, finding through passes – truly impressive.”

When asked if Kane is currently the best player in the world, Müller responded diplomatically but with a clear tendency: “I am often asked if he is currently the best player in the world. In my football world, there is no the best player – too many factors play a role. But if there were the best player, he would be a very hot candidate at the moment.”

Even 8,300 kilometers away, Thomas Müller continues to passionately follow what happens on Säbener Straße – and shows: Once Bayern, always Bayern.
