Barcelona is a great city.

However, that is not the main reason why Ur-Bayer Thomas Müller likes to travel to the Camp Nou.

Barcelona/Munich – FC Barcelona will not be playing in the legendary Camp Nou for a long time – the stadium will soon be renovated and should shine in new splendor in the future.

Next year the Barcelona players will go in search of goals in the Olympic Stadium.

Thomas Müller obviously always felt very comfortable in the Barca stadium.

Yesterday he celebrated a brilliant farewell tour with FC Bayern: the final result of the Champions League match was 3-0.

However, FC Barcelona's end in the Champions League was already sealed beforehand, as Inter Milan won 4-0 against Viktoria Pilsen.

The Champions League anthem will no longer be heard at the Camp Nou for a long time.

Thomas Müller with the best record against Barca

Statistics prove: Müller is a Barca expert.

He has played against the Catalans nine times so far - and has won eight times, as the

has calculated.

Overall, he has ten goals involved (eight goals, two assists).

Before the current game, it was unclear for a long time whether the offensive player was fit enough to play against Barcelona after his gastrointestinal infection.

Finally, he was substituted on in the 63rd minute.

Even if he was not able to add any new entries to his balance sheet during his brief deployment, he still leads the statistics.

No other player in the Champions League has scored as often against the Catalans as Weilheimer.

As early as 2021, Müller analyzed his impressive odds against Barca and found that the team goes well with his style of play: "Barcelona are a very playful team and as an offensive player you get a few square meters more space than against defensive blocks." The fans too Müller's knack for Barcelona was noticed on Twitter: "It's great that the ultimate Barca pain in the ass is now playing along.

Thomas Müller," tweeted a Bayern supporter during yesterday's match.

Lewandowski's bitter defeat

It was a bitter defeat for Catalan newcomer Robert Lewandowski - the Pole missed out on progressing in the Champions League for the first time since 2012.

He showed himself to be a fair loser and visited the Bayern squad in the dressing room after the game: “Lewa was in the dressing room with us.

We exchanged ideas briefly, but didn't delve deeply into the matter.

He's a good guy.

We wish him all the best and we're concentrating on ourselves," said Bayern boss Hasan Salihamidzic.

Thomas Müller had sent Lewandowski a curious video message beforehand – now he showed pity: “It's always nice to see Lewy again.

But of course you sympathize when you know what an ambitious player Lewy is."
