Thomas Muller can’t wait for Sunday’s World Cup final against Argentina at the ‘sacred’ Maracana.
Germany take on the Albicelestes in the finale of this summer’s tournament, and the Bayern Munich forward has indicated that the stadium in Rio will make this extra special.
“Unfortunately we haven’t had time to go sightseeing in Rio and discover this magical city,” he told reporters.
“But there is a special reason why we can’t wait to play this game and that’s the Maracana.
“It’s changed over the years, but when you read about the history you realise what a sacred stage this is to play football on.
“I see the Maracana as the ideal place to lift the World Cup on Sunday.
“If we want to win we’re going to have to mark Messi – but I don’t see that being a problem.”
