Double winners FC Bayern München extended their 100% record last night, regaining their grip on the top spot in the process. They recorded a comprehensive 3-0 victory over the previously unbeaten Hertha BSC in the Allianz Arena thanks to goals from Franck Ribéry, Thiago and Arjen Robben.
They had briefly slipped out of the top spot on Tuesday thanks to Borussia Dortmund’s impressive 5-1 win in Wolfsburg, however, Thomas Müller and Co. are now at the head of the once of the table. The Bayern forward spoke to DFB.de about the victory over Hertha, upcoming fixtures and BVB’s start after the final whistle.
Question: Mr. Müller, four Bundesliga games, four victories. What are your thoughts on the victory over Hertha BSC?
Thomas Müller: It was a successful outing for us. Everything went to plan. We pinned them into their own half early on. We were probably more dominant in the first half of than the second, but we didn’t score the goals need to wrap up the game earlier. We were more clinical after the break. All in all, we put in a good attacking performance considering the state of the pitch.
Question: The turf in the Allianz Arena hasn’t been great recently. AS a result of this are you looking forward to this weekend’s away game in Hamburg?
Müller: Regardless of location, the answer would be yes. There are better pitches out there currently, however, it is what it is.
Question: HSV are struggling currently. Is that some sort of an advantage, considering the fact that you face Atlético Madrid in the Champions League just a few days later?
Müller: We’re favourites going into the game and need to live up to that. We’re not going to receive any gifts. We always have to put in good performances in order to achieve things.

Question: Dortmund won 5-1 in Wolfsburg on Tuesday and remain hot on your heels...
Müller: There are numerous teams in the division that have the potential to take points off us. We know what Dortmund can do. They’ve scored 17 goals across their last three competitive games, which is rather impressive.
Question:Arjen Robben returned last night and capped it off with a goal. How happy are you to see him back again?
Müller: Very. The way the supporters reacted to his introduction says it all, as far as I’m concerned. It was a typical Robben goal too – cut inside and hit it into the back of the net. It was aa great moment for him and the team in general.
