Thomas Müller rues missed chances but is in no mood to complain | OneFootball

Thomas Müller has admitted that Bayern Munich should have beaten Mainz by more than one goal on Saturday, but was in no mood to complain about three points.

The reigning Bundesliga champions went 1-0 up thanks to Leon Goretzka’s first half goal, but then had to come back from 1-1 to win the game with a late Thiago strike.

After Borussia Dortmund’s drew with Hertha Berlin, it takes them to within two points at the top of the table, and the Germany international has insisted that now is not the time to be too analytical.

“Mainz often make life difficult for you at home, you saw that today,” he told reporters.

“We still had considerably more chances. We can live with the result. It’s not as if the league and the matches were walkovers for us at the moment. But we were dominant and should have extended the lead in the first half.

“After the break we were asleep during a throw-in but we bounced back well. We wanted to win here by more than just one goal, but we’re not in a position to complain about victories at the moment.”

Bayern’s next game will be away at SV Roedinghausen in the DFB-Pokal.
