Bayern Munich are being pushed harder this season, says Muller

The German forward has admitted that Bayern have lost a bit of their “magic” in their current campaign.

Bayern Munchen

won the second treble of their club’s history in their 2019-20 campaign under Hansi Flick. The German giants finished Bundesliga 14 points clear of

Borussia Dortmund

and completed their domestic dominance by winning the DFB Pokal for the 20th time. However, Bayern have failed to display the same quality of football in their performances this season as they have suffered three draws and two defeats in their 19 league matches until now. The Bavarians were also knocked out of the DFB Pokal after a shock defeat against second-tier side

Holstein Kiel

. In a post-match interview after Bayern’s 4-1 win over

Hoffenheim

,

Thomas Muller

has spoken about his team’s form and their performances.

"The ease from the previous season has faded a little. We couldn't quite take the magic from the summer into the new season.

"In November and December we had many close results with an unusually high number of goals conceded. It takes a lot more to be at the top in the Bundesliga."

Asked about the high expectations from the fans and its effect on the team's performances, Muller responded:

"The public and the whole league are thirsting for Bayern to finally be thrown from the throne. You are constantly under observation, there is always a magnifying glass on it.

"Every single player has to show himself and the outside world that he can go this level."

Muller also commented on his individual performances and speculations over his future at Bayern.

"I'll leave that completely open. Currently, it's really fun and I'm as fit as a gym shoe,"

said Muller.

"My game currently feels good. It is less prone to errors than it was ten years ago.

"Technically, I am more technically savvy today and in any case a more complete footballer than I was then."
