The duel between FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund is a football classic. This is already shown by Thomas Müller’s numbers. Because it is his 29th assignment in a game against BVB. He equalizes the record of his buddy Mats Hummel.
With his 29th assignment in the Bundesliga classic, Thomas Müller hired the record of his buddy Mats Hummel. The 35-year-old, who will leave FC Bayern at the end of the season after 17 years of professional, stands against Borussia Dortmund as a captain in the starting XI.
Overall, it is already the 45th duel for Müller with BVB in all competitions, so far he won 26 with four draws and 14 defeats. The Hummels, who played one year older, who played for both clubs, played the cracker a total of 40 times. He won 15 duels with four draws and 21 bankruptcies.
“Because Thomas always brings something,” said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany at Sky to bring Müller from the start: “He is a legend. I see a way in his role to help the team. It’s always about the team.”
BVB coach Niko Kovac, who had once trained Müller at FC Bayern, said: “I am always happy when the best players play. That doesn’t make things easier for us, he can light the audience. That means for us: We have to accelerate even more than anyway.”
Müller’s last starting fine dated March 8, when he was born on the 2: 3 against VfL Bochum from the start. In the last game of the Munich-the 1-2 in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League against Inter Milan, Müller had shot a joker goal to compensate.
In addition to the change from Müller with Raphael Guerreiro, Kompany did not make any changes. At Borussia, Niklas Süle is in the initial formation. Salih Özcan can also begin because coach Niko Kovac exchanges a total of five players after the 0: 4 at FC Barcelona.
