Why Is Bayern Munich Easier To Turn Off Lionel Messi Than Cristiano Ronaldo? This Is Thomas Muller's Answer
JAKARTA - Bayern Munich player Thomas Muller made a scathing satire for Paris Saint-Germain superstar (PSG), Lionel Messi. He said Messi was easier to beat than Cristiano Ronaldo.
He made this comment after Bayern eliminated PSG in the last 16 of the Champions League. The Bundesliga club qualified 3-0 after winning 2-0 in the second leg at the Allianz Arena, Thursday, March 9, early morning WIB.
"Facing Messi, everything is going well. If Cristiano Ronaldo is our problem when he plays at Real Madrid," said Muller.
Thomas Muller said he respected Messi, but Bayern already understood the Argentine's movement on the pitch.
"I really respect Messi's performance at the World Cup. Messi's individual performance at the World Cup is amazing," Muller said as quoted by The Mirror via Antara.
"However, it was not easy for him to play at PSG because it was difficult to get a good team balance," he added.
Lionel Messi did not have a good record when facing Bayern Munich, both in Barcelona and PSG uniforms. La Pulga only won twice.
He also drew only once and lost five times against the German representative.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo's record against Bayern Munich, all of them in the Real Madrid uniform, were five wins, one draw and two defeats.
