'It is a strange feeling' - Muller's Bayern career ends with PSG defeat

Thomas Muller said "it is a strange feeling" after he played his final match for Bayern Munich.

The German club were knocked out of the Club World Cup after a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals.

Late goals from Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele secured PSG's spot in the last four, while Harry Kane had a goal ruled out for offside at the other end after PSG had been reduced to nine men.

This was Muller's final game for the Bundesliga giants, having announced his departure earlier in the season.

Muller won 33 trophies with Bayern, including 13 Bundesliga titles and two Champions League trophies.

He scored 250 goals during his time in Munich, while also providing 276 assists. The Bayern legend also won 362 of his 503 Bundesliga matches.

Muller said it will take time to process the end of his Bayern career, especially after the manner of their exit.

"Normally, I would have to process the loss today, and I will," said Muller.

"The usual procedure for that would be to get back to the team hotel and focus on the next challenge - but I'm going back to pack my bags and leave. I'll need time to fully process it! It's a very strange feeling to be honest.

"A defeat like this one is always difficult. The game had everything, and both teams showed great performances. We made life very difficult for them [PSG]. In the end, however, they had a few great chances.

"I personally always had the feeling that we were close [to scoring the equaliser], but a little bit was always missing. The game had a very wild final phase, also with the red cards, where the game got a little unfair. As I've said many times, you can't buy yourself anything with just a good performance."

Vincent Kompany's side were also dealt another blow when Jamal Musiala suffered a serious ankle injury following a collision with Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Muller admitted it was difficult to focus after his team-mate was stretchered off.

"I did not hear what exact injury he has, but stuff like this is always so incredibly tough," Muller added.

"You try to concentrate on the game, but the pictures stay in your head. At the end of the day, us players are not robots, but have personal relationships with one another.

"I wish him a good recovery; it's extremely bitter for him, as he has just come back from another injury."

Vincent Kompany confirmed after the game that Musiala had been taken to the hospital, with other reports emerging that suggest he may have broken a bone in his lower leg.

"He has had to go to hospital," Kompany told DAZN. "It didn't look good. The overwhelming feeling is, hopefully, it's not as bad as it looks, and he gets through this one.

"I've rarely been so angry at half-time, not with the players. For these youngsters [like Musiala], it's their life. A guy like Jamal lives for this.

"My blood boils at that moment, the fact that it happened to a guy who loves this sport and is very important to our team."
