On Wednesday night, Thomas Müller had to hold back his nerve as he watched Bayern Munich barely beаt Arsenal 1-0 in the quarterfinals. Thomas Tuchel put Raphaël Guerreiro on the left wing, and Noussair Mazraoui played very well, which stopped Bukayo Saka and the Gunners from scoring.

It worked out, and now Bayern is going to the semifinals to play Real Madrid, who is the defending champion of the Champions League. Real Madrid has won 14 Champions Leagues, two more than AC Milan, which is second on the all-time list. With six titles, Bayern and Liverpool are tied for third place.

A story from Bild says that Tuchel has officially promised that Müller will play in the two-leg semifinal. This makes a lot of sense because Müller is so good at making space and being a leader on the field. It’s not clear if he’ll start or come off the bench. In either case, Tuchel will need to come up with another brilliant strategy to beаt Carlo Ancelotti.

Müller wants to break his own records in the Champions League. It’s only two games behind Xavi for the fifth most of all time. Xavi also played for Barcelona, where he had his whole team. In an odd turn of events, Müller is currently the best player on European teams, just one game ahead of Toni Kroos, who is also German.
