Thomas Müller is not allowed to get involved in this year's Champions League final.

But he has a tip - and says about Bayern and their missed opportunity: It's your own fault.

Marbella - Who will take the pot he has already held twice in his hands?

Bayern professional Thomas Müller bets on a success for Liverpool FC with coach Jürgen Klopp in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

"You get the feeling that Liverpool is better," said Müller, who was eliminated with FC Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, at the national soccer team's training camp in Marbella.

However, the 32-year-old expects a very close final in Paris on Saturday.

Müller even has an exact result tip: "If you see what Real have done in the league and especially in the Champions League, I wouldn't write Madrid off.

That's why I say: 2: 2 - and Liverpool wins on penalties." For 54-year-old Klopp it would be the second title win with Liverpool after 2019 and also a successful revenge for the 1: 3 against Real Madrid in the 2018 final.

How will he watch the game himself?

During the training camp, Müller did not want to decide whether he would watch the game live on television.

"But I will pursue it," he said.

However, his possible TV waiver has nothing to do with his own annoying quarter-final knockout against Villarreal.

His focus seems to be entirely on the DFB team: he proudly posted a photo of his trained biceps on Instagram.

He compares himself to action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He says about the final and the CL season of FC Bayern: "I had enough time to process the whole thing, which means: I don't have an extremely negative feeling when I see class football," says Müller: "We are It's our own fault that we didn't take the chance to play there.” Bayern Munich would have met the Reds in the semi-finals if they had beaten outsiders Villarreal.
