Quite remarkable how Muller is in the MLS Championship finals in his very first season. One of the most underrated players of our generation...

HWH doesn't matter. Is Muller career better than Messi's career individually? Muller is nowhere close to Messi, and he was carried to this final by his teammates, but Messi Carrie Inter Miami To The Final. Without Messi, Inter Miami wouldn't be here. He deserves his credits. From Relegation to the best team in MLS, that alone is an achievement and it's worth celebrating.

It's not remarkable at all. He joined one of the best teams in MLS, while Messi joined the worst and turned it into a winning team... that's remarkable.

Bro I literally don't know anyone apart from Muller in that team. He makes the team much better. Don't mean to involve stats but he has 13g/a in 12 appearances as a mid

Ofc Messi has done great, I never compared the 2. But now Messi has Alba, Suarez, Busquets, De Paul. Muller has got a team in the finals that didn't even make it to the quarters in the last 5 years...

I agree he makes the team better, but their team was playing decent before too.For the last few years they played playoffs every year. And before Messi I didn’t knew any players from Miami either😂 And actually I still don’t know them😂
They have made it to the playoffs but they have not reached even quarter finals for that matter in the last 5 years. Muller helped them reach the finals in his first season.
