"Muller has won seven of his 10 overall meetings against Messi, the most notable of those clashes coming in the 2014 World Cup final, while he has also scored six times across those matches to the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner's three. And like Messi, Muller needed almost no time to adapt to MLS. Only Anders Dreyer (20), Denis Bouanga (19) and Son Heung-min (18) have registered more goal contributions than the German's 14 among players from teams in the Western Conference."
"The 36-year-old is Bayern's all-time record holder for appearances (756) and the most Bundesliga matches (503), while he has also recorded the most assists in the German top-flight for the club (175). Kompany, who coached Muller during his final season with Bayern, believes it is no surprise that Muller already has the chance to achieve MLS glory. "We hope he wins. The whole of Munich will be behind Vancouver," said Kompany."
Vincent Kompany said the whole of Munich will support Thomas Müller and the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS Cup final. The Whitecaps face Inter Miami at Chase Stadium, and Müller has faced Lionel Messi 10 times, winning seven and scoring six goals to Messi's three, including their 2014 World Cup final meeting. Müller registered 14 goal contributions in MLS quickly, behind only three Western Conference players. The 36-year-old holds Bayern records for appearances (756), Bundesliga matches (503) and club assists (175). Vancouver reached their first MLS Cup final by eliminating FC Dallas, Los Angeles FC and San Diego FC.
