Stuttgart loses 5-0 to FC Bayern. Bitter for Florian Müller personally, too. Once again he had to accept a heavy defeat against the record champions.

Despite a performance that was appealing at times, the Swabians were, as sporting director Sven Mislintat put it afterwards, “dismantled. But we don’t have to be ashamed of that.” The autumn champions from the south had “unbelievable quality. Especially in the front third” and can “dismantle teams at any time, not only in Germany, but also internationally. Top teams from other countries can also tell you a thing or two about that”.

We have to leave out the five minutes in which three goals are scored.

Florian Müller has also experienced several times what it feels like for the respective professionals. With his ex-club Mainz against the league leaders. On 17 March 2019, there was a 0:6, on 31 August 2019 a 1:6, both at Bayern. Against Leipzig, the VfB keeper had to digest a 0:5 in the FSV goal on 24 May 2020. The five-pointer this time “hurts, of course”, said the Olympic participant from Japan. “But we were brave, gave everything. We have to leave out the five minutes in which three goals were scored. Apart from that it was alright. “

Until 0:1, even a little more than that, and after the break until 0:2. But then came the minutes of play 69, 72 and 74, in which Bayern really made their opponents look bad in their stadium. “That’s when we invited Bayern with three mistakes.” And more besides. Nevertheless, it is important “not to let ourselves be dragged down. We have an important game on Sunday.” In Cologne, Stuttgart want to end a mixed first half of the season on a positive note with a success or partial success. And make them forget this 0:5 defeat.
