Thomas Müller, Bayern Munich midfielder, wanted to express his opinion on the result through his social networks: “From a Bavarian, Polish and also German point of view, the awarding of the Ballon d’Or was definitely a disappointment. For some even a little more. Although I have been in business for a little longer and was therefore not very surprised by the result (it was similar with Franck Ribéry in 2013), this whole thing has formed an increasingly solid reflection on me: we have great players in the Bundesliga and we don’t have to hide. However, for world recognition, more international successes are needed, ”Müller wrote.

And, above all, what German football can offer. We have the next opportunity to do it next Wednesday in the Champions League game against FC Barcelona ”, he declared.

The Bavarians will face off against FC Barcelona next Wednesday, December 8, on the last day of the Champions League group stage at the Allianz Arena. The Germans are first in the group, while the Catalans will need a victory to go to the round of 16 if Benfica defeat Dinamo Kiev.
