Thomas Müller is under fire. The Bayern Munich legend has been identified as one of the weak links in the team’s disappointing season.
Bayern Munich are in the midst of a crisis. They are currently second in the Bundesliga, eight points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen. They have also been eliminated from the German Cup and lost the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
In this context, Müller has become a target for criticism. Former Bayern Munich striker Mario Basler has even said that it is “over” for Müller.
“I watched Thomas Müller on Sunday. They made fun of me when I said he was finished. On Sunday, he showed that he wasn’t doing enough,” Basler said. “Thomas Müller has won countless trophies in over 500 games, been German champion, that’s good… But at some point, he has to understand that it’s over. For him, it’s over.”
Basler’s comments have sparked a debate about Müller’s future at Bayern Munich. Some fans have defended Müller, while others have agreed with Basler.
It is unclear what the future holds for Müller. He has one year left on his contract with Bayern Munich, but it is possible that he will be pushed out of the club this summer.
Bayern Munich need to find a way to turn things around if they want to win any trophies this season. The pressure is on Müller and his teammates to deliver. The club must make some tough decisions if they want to get back on track.
