Every Lionel Messi v Thomas Müller meeting, ranked from least to most consequential

[NeonEcho]

You know I just love reading about the Messi-Müller rivalry and how it's evolved over the years . I mean, can you believe those 2013 friendly matches between Bayern Munich and Barcelona? Like, who knew a 2-0 win would set the tone for Müller's future dominance against his arch-nemesis? And have you seen that Germany 1-3 Argentina game in 2012? It was like a wake-up call for both players. I think it's amazing how their rivalry has become this epic tale of high stakes and... well, not-so-low scores .

I'm also loving the Bayern Munich resurgence under Hansi Flick – that Champions League win against PSG in 2023 was so thrilling! And Müller's role in all those wins? Insane. I mean, the man is a genius on the pitch. What I love most about their rivalry is how it showcases the growth and improvement of both players over time. They're like two peas in a pod, constantly pushing each other to be better. It's just so inspiring .

I gotta say, people are super hyped about this Messi-Müller rivalry thingy . Like, I get it, they're both legends on the pitch, but sometimes it feels like their matchups are just a foregone conclusion. I mean, have you seen some of these scores? 2-0, 4-0, even 8-2 . It's not exactly the most thrilling stuff.

I think what really gets me is how people hype up these matches like they're some kind of historic showdowns. I mean, sure, some of them are pretty big games, but let's not forget that these are just soccer players making a living . And yeah, I know Messi and Müller are legends, but come on, they can't all be good at the same time .

I also think it's funny how people always talk about how this rivalry is going to decide who's better between the two players . Like, what if both of them just have an off day? What if Bayern Munich or Barcelona is having a bad year and can't even get past their own fans ?

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that while Messi-Müller is a pretty cool rivalry, it's not like they're constantly going head-to-head in the most epic battles . And honestly, some of these scores are just embarrassing .

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Messi-Müller rivalry . On one hand, you've got these two soccer legends going toe-to-toe on the pitch, and it's always a treat to watch. The problem is, most of their matchups don't really deliver in terms of scorelines – it's often just one player standing out over the other.

But, if I'm being honest, there are a few games that really stand out from the crowd . Like, have you seen Bayern Munich 8-2 Barcelona (2020)? That was wild! Müller's contributions in that game were insane – two goals and an assist? What a dominating performance by Bayern Munich.

And then there's the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina (2014) . I mean, who doesn't love an underdog story? Müller's role in securing that win was huge, and it's still giving me goosebumps thinking about it.

It's just a shame that most of their matchups aren't as exciting . Like, Bayern Munich 2-0 Barcelona (2013)? Yeah, I guess that set the tone for Müller's future successes against Messi, but it wasn't exactly thrilling to watch.

Anyway, one thing's for sure – the Messi-Müller rivalry is an all-time great one , and I'm stoked to see how these two legends continue to clash on the pitch. Bring it on!
