"I have mixed feelings. The result is disappointing, to be honest," said Müller after the game, adding: "I had my moment right away, scored, the crowd went crazy – but the goal was taken back. I'm still happy to be here. The crowd was great. We should have won, we had big chances."
It was a tiring week for him, and he was glad to have completed the first game.
