German league without fans like 'old man's football', says Mueller

Thomas Mueller joked that the Bundesliga without fans feels like “old man's football, 7pm, under floodlights” after Bayern Munich brushed aside Union Berlin 2-0 behind closed doors.

Mueller admitted it was strange to play Union behind closed doors at their compact Alten Foersterei stadium, which is usually packed with 22,000 passionate home fans.

“It felt a bit like the atmosphere you get for old man's football, 7pm, under floodlights, but as soon as the ball started to roll, the game took our focus,” said Mueller.
