Bayern announce that after consultation with the coach and the medical staff, it was decided that Thomas Müller would stay in Munich and doesn't travel with the team to Asia due to muscular problems on his left hip
Thomas Müller: "I would like to thank Oli and Brazzo for the time we spent together. The highlight was of course our Champions League win in Portugal in 2020. I knew them as board members and as players, and also off the pitch as people. We always had a good relationship"
Joshua Kimmich still has no agent and represents himself. The midfielder has absolutely no intention of leaving Bayern and is not in talks with Barcelona. Kimmich is the future captain of Bayern [@Plettigoal]
Would you understand if Thomas Müller comes to you after the season & tells you he's leaving?
Kahn: "That's not going to happen. Thomas is fit, never injured and has a very strong character. He's extremely important. I'm certain that Thomas will still play so many games for us"
Streich on Musiala promising to give him his shirt: "It's a bit embarrassing for me to collect shirts here and there. But I do that for (my) kids. I don't hang the shirts in my bedroom."
Salihamidžić: "I called Julian yesterday, we spoke again. Of course he's disappointed, I'm emotionally upset too, but we had to do our job. It will certainly take a month or two, but then I'll invite him to dinner and we'll talk. We can look each other in the eyes in the future"
Hansi Flick on Mesut Özil's retirement: "Mesut Özil was one of our incredible players. At the peak of his career, he was one of the best footballers in the world. He helped shape the national team for almost a decade" [dfb]
Kingsley Coman on PSG's failure in the Champions League compared to Bayern: "It's difficult to say, there are small details. The difference is undoubtedly linked to the fact that Bayern has been a big club for many years and that Europe is inscribed in its DNA" [@RMCsport]
Jamal Musiala: "It was a very, very important win for us. It was crucial to keep the intensity high."
Musiala happy for Gnabry: "We know what qualities Serge has. It was a nice goal, we're very happy about that"

Thomas Müller: "Against Messi, things always go well at all levels in terms of results. At club level, Cristiano Ronaldo was our problem when he was at Real Madrid. But I have the greatest respect for Messi's World Cup performance" [@georg_holzner]
Why did Bayern never spend €100m on a player, you don't want to or you can't?
Kahn to @lequipe: "There's a philosophy: we only spend what we earn. And investing a lot of money on a single player is always a big risk. Everything must be done wisely."
