Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany confirmed that “the whole of Munich” will support Thomas Muller and the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS Cup final against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami. Muller boasts a strong record against Messi, including a 2014 World Cup final win, and has quickly adapted to MLS.
Muller’s immediate impact in MLS comes as no surprise to Kompany, who praised his former player’s ability to reach finals. Vancouver, finishing second in the West, made a historic run to their first MLS Cup final by eliminating FC Dallas, Los Angeles FC, and San Diego FC.
