FC Bayern could create history on Sunday. If they beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, the Munich team would win the treble of German championship, DFB Cup and Europe’s premier competition for the second time in the club’s history. So far, only Barcelona (2009, 2015) have succeeded in doing so. Thomas Müller was already part of the first triumph in 2013 and is eager for a repeat.
“It’s a huge motivation to accomplish this historic feat,” said the 31-year-old born-and-bred Bavarian in an interview with fcbayern.com. “The unbelievable can happen that we can win the treble a second time in a relatively short period and it would be the first treble for many of the players.” But for that FCB need a win on Sunday evening – and against PSG that’s anything but a foregone conclusion.
Müller with a warning about PSG
The last meeting between Bayern and PSG took place on 5 December 2017 in the CL group stages. Thomas Müller already made the acquaintance of Neymar & Co. in the match, which the Bavarians won 3-1 at the Allianz Arena.
“PSG have excellent individual players and above all: they seem more experienced,” Müller warned of Neymar & Co. The 2014 World Champion is well aware that there will be some hair-raising and critical situations in front of his own goal in this game too: “You can’t keep every opponent in the world away from your own goal one hundred percent of the time, even if that is what we always strive to do.”
