What do Lionel Messi and Thomas Muller have in common?

In any case, Sky expert Lothar Matthäus found a connection between the two football stars.

Munich – The Bundesliga start provides a lot of material for discussion – and especially FC Bayern.

After all, the record champions had to cope with some changes before the start of the season.

Lewandowski has moved to Barcelona and Mané is now following in his footsteps.

But Jamal Musiala and Thomas Müller are also making a name for themselves.

In any case, Lothar Matthäus is full of praise for his former club.

FC Bayern is ready for the Champions League

Matthäus was good for a few surprises - both on and off the pitch.

In his Sky column "That's how I see it", he has now spoken about FC Bayern's transfer policy.

But he surprised most with a statement about FCB veteran Thomas Müller.

First, however, the Sky expert sings hymns of praise for the transfer policy of sports director Salihamidzic: "I give Hasan Salihamidzic the grade one for his transfer market activities," writes Matthäus in his column: "The purchases and sales that Brazzo made in this transfer period up to now are great.” You can hardly contradict the former international, after all FC Bayern have cushioned the departure of Robert Lewandowski well and can currently show an extremely strong team.

Matthäus even goes so far as to predict good chances for the record champions in the Champions League.

The Bayern squad is broader than last season and so well positioned that it can once again get involved in the fight for the Champions League title.

"From today's point of view, everything is just right at FC Bayern, from start to finish.

The current starting eleven makes it outstanding.

And players like Goretzka, de Ligt, Coman, Sane, Gravenberch, Mazraoui or Tel are still in the back hand," says Matthäus.

In fact, the team is so strong at the moment that the competition is growing in the ranks and a place in the starting eleven is hotly contested.

What do Lionel Messi and Thomas Muller have in common?

In addition to the tough player analysis, Lothar Matthäus also surprises with a very unusual comparison: Thomas Müller reminds him of Lionel Messi.

Where can you find the similarities between the rather rough style of the Weilheimer and the fine dribbling of the Argentine?

Matthäus opened it up: "You can see from the fact that Thomas Müller has to laugh when he misses a great opportunity, how high the confidence in his own strength is.

It reminds me of Leo Messi, who often had to smile when he awarded a 100 percent because he knew he would make three more anyway."

So the similarity lies in the sovereignty of the two.

No wonder when you get results in the first days of the Bundesliga like FC Bayern are doing at the moment.

Müller has definitely achieved his goal of continuing to set the tone with Bayern, at least for the moment.
