After the surprising end in the DFB Cup at Holstein Kiel, Thomas Müller had a strange exchange of words with the ARD reporter Valeska Homburg.

Now the Bayern player apologized.

The 31-year-old didn't want to take the blame that much.

After the harmless - perhaps somewhat superfluous in this situation - question about the mood in Bayern's dressing room after the cup-off, Müller said a little indignantly: "You are laughing here now." To which Homburg replied: "No, I'm not laughing."

However, Müller didn’t give up and said: “Of course you laughed!” The interview only continued after the reporter asked another question before Müller finally disappeared.

After all, the striker was the only Bayern professional who presented himself after the historical from the media.

A few hours later, the Bayern star apologized on Instagram for his verbal dropout: “Phew.

The last minute shock is still in our limbs.

Nevertheless, congratulations at this point to Holstein Kiel on getting ahead, that was a little lost in the interview earlier than with all the frustration. "

Müller talks about Homburg

In response to his dispute with Homburg, he wrote: “Valeska Homburg, we could both have managed that a little better - no offense.” Müller added the hashtags “must be able to lose”, “but not mine at all” and “nothing to get used to”.

Homburg himself has meanwhile also commented on the incident.

The reporter told “Bild”: “It was full of adrenaline and so was I.

It wasn't a laugh, it was a reflex to ease the mood.

Sorry for that, Thomas Müller. "

With her question about the mood, she wanted to elicit something "atmospheric" from the footballer.

“That can be done better.

No offense, Thomas Müller.

We are fine with each other.

I think his reaction to yesterday's interview is very nice. "

On the circumstances of the interview after the cup game, Homburg added: “As agreed, Bayern came to the interview after the game.

I think it's great that Thomas Müller comes out of the dressing room after such a game and asks himself the questions.

That shows character. "

Meanwhile, there was a bad mood at Hans-Dieter Flick.

The Bayern coach put his players under pressure after the cup ended: “We have to look ahead now, we have to work a lot.

There is also no longer any excuse.

Of course it's a shock, we are hugely disappointed. "

The defeat against Kiel was the first cup game in 17 years in which Bayern were defeated by a lower class opponent.

Over the years, the record champions had also always reached at least the last sixteen.
