Leipzig: Despite no title celebration, Muller feels "an unquestionable champion's sensation"
Bayern Munich's Title Celebration Delayed Amid Last-Minute Leipzig Equalizer
Thomas Müller, Bayern Munich's senior player, found himself in a unique predicament following the dramatic 3-3 draw against RB Leipzig. The late equalizer by Leipzig's Yussuf Poulsen prevented Bayern from securing their 34th Bundesliga title.
Speaking to Sky after the match, Müller expressed mixed emotions. "I feel like a champion," he admitted, "but we are not quite there yet. It's a bit of an in-between situation." Bayern still maintains a comfortable lead over Bayer Leverkusen, with a nine-point advantage and a superior goal difference of 30. They will aim to clinch the title when they face SC Freiburg on Sunday.
Müller, who is leaving Bayern at the end of the season, was remarkably upbeat despite the late setback. "We showed what we're made of," he beamed. The 35-year-old, however, remained tight-lipped about his future plans. "No need to worry about me," he assured.
Müller's decision to depart Bayern has left his future uncertain. Speculations suggest a potential retirement, a transfer to another club, or a role within Bayern post-retirement. Uli Hoeness, Bayern's honorary president, has hinted at all three possibilities. It remains to be seen where Müller will end up, as no official announcements have been made yet.
