From Cristiano to Messi: Müller's change surprises everyone. What made him decide on the Argentinian? We tell you the details
If there is a player on the international scene to whom the majority, whether fans or fellow professionals, usually surrender due to his talent, that is Leo Messi. The Rosario native, although far from his best glories, still shows flashes of magic with Inter Miami in the MLS, a competition that has gradually welcomed several stars of world football who are facing the final stretches of their careers.
In this line, one of the most recent signings of the American tournament is the historic former player of Bayern Munich and the German national team, Thomas Müller, new player of the Vancouver Whitecaps. The German took advantage of his nascent stage in the MLS to grant an interview in which he praised the way the Argentine striker plays.
Müller changes his perception of Messi and Cristiano
In the first instance, Müller made a shocking revelation about the eternal debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, stating: "There has always been this discussion of Cristiano and Messi, but both are crazy. In my first 10 years as a professional, I always went with Cristiano," admitted the German striker.
Subsequently, Thomas explained why he now places the Rosario native above the Portuguese: "Messi is a bit more elegant in his way of playing. Now, being a little older and a little more 'romantic', I lean more towards style than performance."

| Leo Messi | 10 | 3 | 0 | 7 | 3 |
| Thomas Müller | 10 | 7 | 0 | 3 | 6 |
In turn, the legend of Bayern Munich detailed the moment when his change of criteria occurred: "After Messi won the World Cup with Argentina, I'm going with him," he confessed. And he closed his admiration with a forceful phrase: "He is the greatest player we have had in this sport," he stated.
Müller remembers his duels against FC Barcelona
Finally, Müller did not miss the opportunity to talk about FC Barcelona, a team against which he confessed that he did not know how they managed to decipher the formula: "In the end, I don't know how it worked so well. We had great defeats against Barcelona, in 2015, when they won the Champions League, it was one of them, but in the end I don't know how we did it," he concluded.
