The German footballer shared his thoughts on Lionel Messi's possible appearance at the 2026 World Cup.
Thomas Müller, midfielder for the US club Vancouver Whitecaps, spoke about the possible participation of Argentine national team captain Lionel Messi in the 2026 World Cup.
İdman.Biz reports that in an interview with MagentaTV, Müller said that it would be interesting for Messi to play in the World Cup and emphasized that this would seriously affect the team's balance.
"In my opinion, it would be interesting for him to be there. In the MLS final, when the ball reached him, he was very sharp, entered the necessary zones, and created many scoring opportunities. But I don't think such a spontaneous game would work the same way at the national team level now," Müller emphasized.
It should be noted that when the German star was transferred to Vancouver, he told his teammates, "I will hunt Messi again." The reason for this was the statistic that Müller had a clear advantage over Messi. In confrontations in the World Championships and the Champions League, Thomas Müller won 7 victories, while Lionel Messi won 3.
After the MLS Cup final, Müller announced that Messi had won this duel.
