Following their 3-1 MLS Cup final loss to Inter Miami, Thomas Müller praised the Vancouver Whitecaps’ historic season, achieved amid club sale uncertainty, stating that the defeat “hurts, but in the best way it could hurt.”
Vancouver Whitecaps concluded their best season in MLS history by reaching the MLS Cup Final, ultimately falling 3-1 to Inter Miami CF.
This historic run unfolded despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding a potential sale of the club. Following the match, star Thomas Müller chose to focus on the team’s achievement rather than the defeat.
Müller reflected on the experience and the team’s pride in their progress. He told reporters:
“It hurts, but in the best way it could hurt… We could be proud to be part of this process… A little bit unlucky with the moment when [Emmanuel] Sabbi hit the post.”
Manager Jesper Sørensen added: “I told the team that when you reach out for something, it hurts even more when you don’t get it.”
