Müller believes he still has time with Bayern as farewell looms
Munich's Thomas Müller and Leipzig's Lukas Klostermann (r) in action during the German Bundesliga soccer match between RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich at Red Bull Arena. Hendrik Schmidt/dpa Thomas Müller is convinced that he still has time left at Bayern Munich during the Club World Cup in the United States as his departure from his boyhood club looms. Bayern have advanced to the knock-out stages of the competition, but every match from now on could be Müller's final game for the Bavarians. Advertisement "Yes, of course. But I've known that for a long time. It's still fun to play. Giving your all is fun. And when it's over, it's over!" Müller said. The Bayern icon will leave the club after 25 years of service as his contract expires this summer and he wasn't given a new deal. "The tournament is picking up speed now," he said as he hopes that the last 16 against Brazil's Flamengo on Sunday won't be the final stop. The goal is to reach the final on July 13 in New York. "Of course, these win-or-go-home games are always edgy. You're kind of sitting on a packed suitcase. But I'm convinced we'll be here for some time." Advertisement His team-mates, especially long-serving players like Leon Goretzka, also "don't even want to think" about a Bayern without the unique Müller. "I think we'll get sentimental soon enough," Goretzka said. It's still unclear what Müller will do in the future away from Bayern. MLS club FC Cincinnati have said that they made an offer to have the 2014 World Cup champion in their squad. Media reports also suggest that Müller could take a job as a TV pundit for the 2026 World Cup.

Why did Jonathan Tah choose Bayern Munich? Let him tell you
Jonathan Tah's move from Bayer Leverkusen was a long time coming, but for the Germany international, it was an easy decision. 'I wanted to move and ultimately chose FC Bayern because I feel I can take another step here. I'm very ambitious; I want to keep getting better. With this successful, big club, with the current team that FC Bayern already has, and with coach Vincent Kompany, who wanted me and was a defender himself, I can get even more out of myself at FC Bayern. That's why I'm in Munich,' Tah told Sport Bild journalists Tobi Altschäffl and Heiko Niedderer (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). 'And for me personally, titles are of course important: I've developed a taste for it in Leverkusen and want more – at the DFB and at my new club.' Advertisement Tah seems to be making a smooth transition. If he can continue his solid play, he could even win over some of his Bayern Munich fanbase detractors.

Vincent Kompany: "Every win is difficult, so it is a brilliant win"
FC Bayern coach Vincent Kompany spoke to the media after his side's 2-1 victory against Boca Juniors in the second match of the group stage at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup tournament. With the result, FC Bayern became the first team to qualify for the knockout stages, 2-0-0 with a +11 goal differential (12-1). When asked to give an overall summary of the match, Kompany said, 'Really pleased - we have seen how tough it has been for the European teams to play against the South American teams. I thought we did really well, managed the emotions of the game - would like not to concede, but we stayed calm, and the way we finished the game was really mature as well'. Advertisement He added, 'Solid performance - if we had to be hypercritical, I think we have to score a few more goals, and that we would not have this, I would not say nervy finish, but the chance we have for the opponent to get back into the game - othwerise, it is the Club World Cup, every win is difficult so it is a brilliant win'. When asked about Boca Juniors' energy in the second half and whether they are in better physical shape compared to the Bayern players, Kompany said: 'I think in the first half, we were playing the game we wanted to have - in the second half, they are a team with heart and passion, they came back into it'. He continued, saying, 'We made some mistakes - it was not like we were conceding big chances, but momentum shifts really quickly; striker has one chance, scored, well done to him, but then, we just got back in the game, we got more dangerous, we combined with a bit more purpose. I am happy because part of the emotions of these games in this tournament is to stay calm, and I feel like it was a German-esque like performance in that sense'. Regarding the upcoming match against SL Benfica on Tuesday, and whether it will be an opportunity to 'rotate' players and give certain players added minutes of experience, Kompany stated: 'I do not like the word rotation, it is a seven-game competition; the main thing for us is to win the first tournament, that being the group stages'. Advertisement 'In the second tournament [the knockouts], you have all the energy to go game-by-game and like today, maybe win a little bit late, but to have these moments - we will see from a physical point of view what is necessary, but otherwise, we want to go with good momentum into the next stages'. Lastly, he was asked about the atmosphere at Hard Rock Stadium, and said: 'It was amazing. If you are not here, it is sometimes hard to understand it, but being here is an experience, a privilege. Any of us [at Bayern], we are used to so many big evenings, big moments, and still, this is something totally different - interesting from a fan perspective, if you take away the money, if you take away all of that, it is just incredibly interesting, and we are happy to start with two wins'.
