FC Bayern will face Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals. Thomas Müller immediately turns to two DFB colleagues on Instagram.
Munich - FC Bayern's season, which was used in places, is being extended spectacularly internationally. The Munich team, which has been reeling badly in the Bundesliga, reached the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 1-0 (0-0) win against Arsenal FC.
Thomas Müller from FC Bayern: Instagram greeting to Toni Kroos and Toni Rüdiger
And: Even in the context of the second leg win against the “Gunners”, life has really returned to Bayern. DAZN expert Sami Khedira boldly railed against the critics of Joshua Kimmich, whose goal in the 63rd minute fueled the dream of a new final at Wembley (June 1) after the 2013 triumph. In the semi-finals (April 30th/May 8th) the premier class will first face “the Royals” from Real Madrid.
The day after advancing, Thomas Müller took advantage of this to send an Instagram message to the German Real players Toni Kroos and Toni Rüdiger, with whom he would play together a few weeks later at the home European Championships 2024 (July 14th to 14th) in Germany wants to cause a sensation.
FC Bayern: Thomas Müller posts a message to Real Madrid on Instagram
Müller, who did not play in the Allianz Arena against London, posted the video on Thursday afternoon (April 18) from the training ground on Säbener Straße in Munich. Almost at the same time, fellow world champion Toni Kroos commented on a posting by Kimmich on social media with a little swipe. Sequentially.
“The German boys sealed the deal: Toni Rüdiger for Real Madrid, and Josh Kimmich for us. The semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. I think it's one of the biggest games in world football. I'm excited to go there in three weeks (
to Madrid, ed
.). I believe the home game is in two weeks. So let's go, FCB! Mia san mia!”, explained Müller in his video in English and with a big grin on his face (see above).

Joshua Kimmich: Toni Kroos makes a funny taunt against the Bayern star
The 34-year-old Upper Bavarian also wrote in English about his post: “Great to see Toni Rüdiger and Toni Kroos with their team Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League.” Müller’s teammate Kimmich, however, posted two photos of his goal celebration on Instagram. The 29-year-old Swabian wrote in English: “Believe in yourself.” Using emojis, he also tried to recreate his goal celebration, in which he pointed to his forehead with an outstretched index finger, with which he had heaved the ball into the net.
The most prominent comment was that from Madrid's Kroos, who had already received more than 5,000 likes by 4:30 p.m. The 34-year-old midfield strategist for the Madrilenians said with a humorous jibe: “Before the semi-finals, go to the hairdresser again.” Why did he write it like that?
FC Bayern against Real Madrid: DFB national players miss European Championship training camp
A possible explanation: Kimmich had a nice mane of hair after celebrating his goal in the photos from the Munich Arena. The right-back forced his goal so impulsively. They will most likely be on the same team again at the European Championships. By the way: The Champions League semi-finals have a significant impact on the European Championship preparations under national coach Julian Nagelsmann, who is considered a returnee at Bayern.
Because: At least two German national players will miss the DFB team's training camp in Weimarer Land (May 26th to 31st). The premier class final in London is scheduled for June 1st. Either Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Thomas Müller, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Leroy Sané and Leon Goretzka (FC Bayern) will be at Wembley as very likely or at least possible European Championship participants. Or Kroos and Rüdiger (Real Madrid) as pretty safe European Championship drivers.
