Thomas Muller backs 'in-form' Bayern Munich to reach Champions League final

The Bayern legend, now playing for MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps, won the competition twice with the German giants in 2013 and 2020. Speaking to Sport Bild, Muller said the current squad has the balance and hunger needed for another deep run.

"I say they will make it to the final," Muller explained. "Tactically they are very well organised, they have strong individual players and they are especially well stocked defensively."

He also highlighted the importance of key attacking stars remaining available during the decisive months of the season. "In attack, it helps if the main figures like Harry Kane and Michael Olise stay fit through the spring. You can feel the confidence and hunger in this team," he added.

Bayern have already shown their strength in the competition this campaign. Vincent Kompany's side finished second in the Champions League league phase standings to secure direct qualification for the round of 16, which will be played in March.

The Bavarian club have combined defensive solidity with attacking quality, with Kane among the standout performers during the European run so far. Their consistent form both domestically and in Europe has fuelled optimism among supporters and former players alike.

Muller believes that momentum, combined with tactical discipline and squad depth, gives Bayern a realistic chance of reaching another final. With the knockout stages fast approaching, the German champions will now aim to turn that belief into results as they chase a seventh European crown.
