Thomas Müller Snubs Ronaldo in Bundesliga vs Premier League Legends XI — Loyalty or Bias?
In a spirited and eyebrow-raising selection, Bayern Munich icon Thomas Müller has made headlines after snubbing Cristiano Ronaldo in his all-time combined Bundesliga vs Premier League legends XI — sparking fresh debates among fans worldwide.
In an interview with GOAL, the German forward, known for his sharp football intelligence and dry humor, was asked to pick one legend from each league across every position. But instead of a balanced list, Müller’s loyalty to former teammates and the Bundesliga was on full display.
🚫 No Room for CR7?
In what will surely shock Ronaldo fans, Müller left out the five-time Ballon d'Or winner in favour of Franck Ribery in the attack line.
The front three? Ribery, Robben, and Lewandowski — a legendary Bayern trio, no doubt, but omitting Ronaldo, Henry, or Bale has raised questions.
Was this Müller being cheeky, loyal, or just honest?
🔐 Müller’s XI Breakdown:
🧤Goalkeeper:
Manuel Neuer (over Petr Cech) — A no-brainer for many, considering Müller and Neuer's shared Bayern and Germany legacy.
🛡️ Defence:
Vincent Kompany (PL) – the only Premier League representative.
David Alaba, Philipp Lahm, Mats Hummels – all Bundesliga regulars and close allies.
🎯 Midfield:
Michael Ballack, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thiago Alcantara – over PL maestros like Gerrard, Silva, and Toure.
🔥 Attack:
Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Robert Lewandowski – famously Müller’s Bayern comrades.
💬 Opinion: Respectful Loyalty or Overprotective Bias?
It's natural for a player to back his teammates — especially those with whom he’s lifted countless trophies. Müller's list speaks volumes of the chemistry, respect, and memories shared on the pitch.
But leaving out Cristiano Ronaldo — one of the most decorated and consistent performers in both leagues — feels like either a personal preference… or an intentional provocation. 😅
While many may see Müller’s list as “too Bayern,” others admire his honesty and the message it sends: "I stick with those who went to war with me."
🤔 What Do You Think?
Should Ronaldo have made the XI?
Was Müller too Bayern-biased?
