Facebook Twitter Whatsapp E-Mail Print Copy Link Legendary squad FC Bayern leaves Auckland in its wake, shattering the Club World Cup record with a fearsome 10-0 victory. Thomas Müller, the soon-to-be icon, is in high spirits following the historic rout.
Thomas Müller continues to leave his mark with memorable moments. And so, on this scorching Sunday night (CET), he unleashed a historic goal never before seen in the Club World Cup. The tournament has been around for only a few days, but that only applies to the expanded, jaw-dropping vision of FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Before now, the record books were ruled by a 6-1 victory of Al-Hilal over the Al-Jazira Club in 2022.
"We don't need praise, we just did our job, took it seriously," coach Vincent Kompany said after the pulverizing 10-0 win. "When an opponent parks the bus, it's not a given that you'll score ten against them." This performance could still be crucial for the gole average in the group. In Cincinnati, the Bayern stars were given free rein, except for one, Leroy Sané, who spent the entire 90 minutes on the bench after his recent transfer shocker to Galatasaray Istanbul.
It was abundantly clear that this record would crumble in the first game, and it was none other than FC Bayern who did the honors. The amateur squad from New Zealand was there for fun, to gawk, and to take an autograph or two. Müller's jersey was the most coveted prize after the final whistle. "There won't be many more Bayern jerseys from me, it's a rare treat," he admitted, revealing that he had fewer keepsakes to give away than he would have liked.
Müller Creates Müller Moments Empire
Football Club World Cup: Shaky Start for FC Bayern, Crushes Amateur Squad 10-0 in Half-Empty Stadium If Thomas Müller can't be stopped, neither can his signature style. Against the amateur squad, he again took on a leading role, something that won't happen often. Just before the interval, he added to Bayern's tally, using a twisted body to volley in a classic Müller goal. At 35, he had already secured an assist for Michael Olise's third goal, twisting swiftly after a precise through ball from Raphaël Guerreiro and dropping the ball into the box. He also scored the game's fifth goal, finding space after Olise's cross and having no trouble firing the ball into the net. With his brace, he now has an impressive 250 goals in all competitions for the Munich team. He may soon add another accolade—his 35th (!) title.
The Cincinnati crowd adored Müller from the get-go. They might get to see him again in the future. The Major League Soccer, which coincidentally continues despite the World Cup, is considered a potential destination for the twilight of his career. Müller might then opt for a move to Los Angeles.
Even among the ruins, Müller was the one who drew all the eyes. Auckland's overwhelmed amateurs were eager to take souvenir selfies with him. They didn't want Jamal Musiala, who returned with a hat-trick following his injury, or even Harry Kane, who is simply a global superstar. Müller is the icon, the legend. Alongside Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, he is arguably the most influential figure of this titanic tournament. And he's making the most of it.
"A character test": aced!"
Football: Performance under the Spotlight: Paris Saint-Germain Outshines Atletico Madrid in Blistering Heat Müller initially wanted to retrieve the Per Mertesacker ice bucket first. The sweltering 80% humidity had weighed on him and the team more than the opposition. But with the first hurdle easily jumped over, he sent a message to the title contenders, who are most likely to come from Europe, possibly Paris. Champions League winners PSG didn't waste any time and dispatched top team Atletico Madrid 4-0. "We had little trouble adapting," Müller observed, with Bayern taking things "massively easy" and thus "emphasizing our ambitions." The "character test": passed!
Müller, who has now become the first player to score in both the Nations League and Club World Cup, knows that the following games will be tougher. "The win and the magnitude of the win mean nothing for the next games," he said. After the better preparation, the next opponents in Group C on June 20 in Miami are Argentinian side Boca Juniors and on June 24 in Charlotte, Portuguese record champions Benfica Lisbon. Müller is definitely ready: "We're really looking forward to Boca."
