Mueller admitted the club had missed out on following up the 2013 treble win with further successes in the Champions League. In last season's semi-final against Atletico Madrid (2-2 on aggregate), the "wrong team" made it into the final on away goals, said Mueller. This time around Bayern was eliminated by Real but there was not much between the two continued the striker. He also feels that there is almost no gap between his club and the other top European outfits.

When in China this summer, the team will be aiming to prove to its fans there that it is a top side on a par with the world's very best. Muller is also looking forward to meeting many people in China which would be inspiring for him personally. Chinese fans, he added, stand for a great enthusiasm in all things football.

He will be eager to explore more of the country and discover more the culture. Many young people love football in China and many support FC Bayern. Looking back at the enthusiastic welcome they received in 2017, he is still amazed by the never-ending support given by Chinese fans. It was incredible to see so many people cheering the team at the airport, during the training sessions took place and at the games.

When talking about the development of football in China, Mueller expects the nation to produce top class players in the next ten years.

Practice, practice and even more practice is his recipe for the success of the country's young footballers. They should also be ambitious and cool-headed. He says this is essential for China's football to lay good foundations and work their way up. It would generate a love of the game among the youngsters who would in turn inspire even more kids to take up the sport.
