At FC Bayern Munich there is helplessness after the next setback against Borussia Dortmund. Apparently also on Instagram – except for Thomas Müller.
Munich – And once again there is dissatisfaction and unrest at FC Bayern. After Munich's 0:2 (0:1) defeat against Borussia Dortmund, the conclusion of the season is becoming more and more sober. The defeat against BVB was the fifth defeat of the season in the Bundesliga - after 27 match days.
After defeat against Dortmund: Thomas Müller posts Instagram story
Once again, the alarm bells are ringing, figuratively speaking, on Säbener Straße and in the Allianz Arena. Someone who always stands up when things aren't going well did so again this time: Thomas Müller, Upper Bavaria's identification figure, born in Weilheim, lives in Otterfing, and has been playing for the club since July 2000. So for almost 24 (!) years.
Until midnight on Saturday (March 30), Müller was the only Bayern player to address fans on Instagram after the recent disappointment. That hadn't changed as of Sunday evening, as of 6:30 p.m. First he posted a photo of teammate Leon Goretzka with the result (0:2) next to it. He then shared a motif of himself about the Bundesliga classic and wrote in English: “That was not enough.” In German: “That was not enough.”

Thomas Müller from FC Bayern: Clear criticism of his colleagues in Munich
Immediately after the game against Westphalia, the 34-year-old attacker made a clear statement towards his colleagues. “We are very disappointed with our own performance. The international break didn't seem to be good for us, with the side note that you noticed that Leverkusen scored the last minute goal again. You think they're finally leaving something behind. That was a small setback,” said Bayern figurehead Müller on
Sky
. Meanwhile, players who were really weak, such as Alphonso Davies and Leroy Sané, did not appear in front of the TV camera.
Müller continued in the interview on the sidelines: “Dortmund played well, but they didn’t have the stars in the sky either, but they deserved to win. This is disappointing. That wasn’t what we were building up to before the international break.”
I also ask myself: How can we have such an attitude? This is inexplicable and frustrating. You had the feeling that it was about nothing, it was a friendly game.

Joshua Kimmich also stood up and clearly criticized Bayern's attitude. “That is the crucial question. I also ask myself: How can we have such an attitude? This is inexplicable and frustrating. You had the feeling that it was about nothing, it was a friendly game. “That should never happen to us in a home game and against Dortmund,” said the 29-year-old Swabian: “We shouldn’t be interested in the Leverkusen results. We have to do our own homework.” “Everyone should really use the two days off to question themselves,” explained Kimmich.
By the way: Someone got in touch on Instagram on Sunday afternoon, shortly before 4 p.m.: Manuel Neuer. The 38-year-old world champion posted photos of walking with his offspring in the picturesque landscape of the Tegernsee Valley, where the goalkeeper lives in the small town of the same name 50 kilometers south of Munich in the Mangfall Mountains in Bavaria. The national player, who was missing against BVB due to a slight torn muscle fiber in his left adductor, chose an idyllic Easter walk to gain some distance from the many footballing disappointments this Bayern season.
