Thomas Müller pushes cup frustration after beating Union

After FC Bayern’s 5-2 away win against Union Berlin, Thomas Müller reacted to the media echo following the recent cup elimination in Mönchengladbach.

“When FC Bayern crashes out of the cup with a 5-0 draw, it is clear that there will be one or the other saying that is slightly below the belt,” said Müller Sky.

For him, the criticism was “okay, we’re not made of sugar,” the 32-year-old clarified. “You have to be able to take it with you.” Müller described the victory in Berlin as a “good reaction”.

“Our approach today was positive. Everyone expected it, but then the pressure is enormous. We wanted to show a reaction, especially in terms of football, the result against such a tight-knit team could not be predicted beforehand. We had to take responsibility and develop this joy of playing . We did it. “

Bayern notes: Offensive stars turn up – a defensive player wild birds

1/17

FC Bayern made amends after the bitter cup in Mönchengladbach and defeated Union Berlin 5-2. Who convinced, who disappointed? The notes and individual reviews.

2/17

MANUEL NEUER: Once again, he did not concede without conceding, was caught on the wrong foot with the first goal of the Berliners and could not do anything with the second. Otherwise solid. Grade: 3.5.

3/17

JOSIP STANISIC: Started the game properly. Before the first Unioner hit by Gießelmann, however, with an unsuccessful attempt at clarification and then with numerous imprecise passes and errors. Sometimes game birds in passage two. Grade: 4.5.

4/17

NIKLAS SÜLE: Picked up the yellow card early, but defended largely calmly. However, Süle lost a decisive duel that led to the second Union goal. Grade: 3.5.

5/17

LUCAS HERNANDEZ: The best duel on the part of the guests, won over 80 percent of his duels and did not get much into debt. Replaced due to an injury 20 minutes before the end. Grade: 2.5.

6/17

ALPHONSO DAVIES: Offensive not as conspicuous as usual, but mostly stable defensively. Solid, but nothing more. Note 3.

7/17

JOSHUA KIMMICH: In round one with some uncertainties, but also good and opening passes into the last third. Okay after changing sides. Overall, it wasn’t as beside itself as in Mönchengladbach. Grade: 3.5.

8/17

CORENTIN TOLISSO: Showed an attractive performance in his first Bundesliga start this season. Initiated the 3-0 through Sane strongly. But was not close enough to Union template provider Haraguchi when conceding. Grade: 2.5.

9/17

KINGSLEY COMAN: Fought most of the duels on the side of the record champions, but didn’t win that many. But with a nice goal participation in the Sane hit and the pre-deciding booth to 4: 1. Grade: 2.

10/17

THOMAS MÜLLER: Before the 3-0 with the important assist, he also prepared the 4-2. Still not as conspicuous as the other offensive players of the record champions, but still with the goal to 5: 2. Grade: 2.

11/17

LEROY SANE: Most conspicuous from Munich, involved in almost every dangerous action and with good backward movement. Got the early penalty to make it 1-0 for FCB and scored to make it 3-0. The only drawback: Sane also missed a few good chances. Grade: 1.5.

12/17

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: His pale performance against Gladbach was followed by a quick double, which put Union behind early on. Particularly nice: his directly converted free-kick goal to make it 2-0. Grade: 1.5.

13/17

JAMAL MUSIALA: Came in for Sane after 61 minutes. No longer appeared noteworthy. Grade: 3.5.

14/17

MARCEL SABITZER: Replaced Tolisso in the 69th minute. Made his cause solid. Note 3.

15/17

BENJAMIN PAVARD: Relieved the over-promoted Stanisic after 69 minutes. Didn’t burn anything. Note 3.

16/17

DAYOT UPAMECANO: Was allowed to work for another 20 minutes instead of the obviously injured Hernandez. This time without a mistake – and with the strong assist to the fifth goal. Grade: 2.5.

17/17

SERGE GNABRY: Came in the closing minutes for Coman. No rating.

Müller on Cup-Out: “Have lost a competition”

The annoyance about the failed triple dream was still noticeable to the 2014 world champion: “Now we are so relaxed here, we are out of the cup anyway. We not only lost a game, but a competition that has a lot to us means in the season. We have to keep dealing with it accordingly. “

On Tuesday, Müller and Co. will continue with the Champions League home game against Benfica Lisbon.
