\"EuroLviv (Ukraine): <\/strong>Ahead of his country’s Euro 2012 campaign, Germany’s attacking midfielder Thomas Muller said Friday he had banished the memory of the Champions League final defeat to Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Muller was one of eight Bayern Munich players in the German side to taste last month’s bitter loss on penalties, which came after the 22-year-old had appeared to win it with a header seven minutes from time. Didier Drogba equalised for the Londoners before sealing the trophy with the deciding penalty.<\/p>\n

“Of course, with Bayern we have a season behind us that looked good up to a point,” Muller said, referring to his team also making the German Cup final, where they suffered another defeat, that time to league winners Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

Losing the Champions League final at their home stadium the Allianz Arena “doesn’t make you happy”, Muller said.<\/p>\n

“But it doesn’t affect me now. This changes so quickly in football. That was two weeks ago,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Germans join Spain as the chief favourites for the Euro 2012 title, but must first escape from the so-called group of death with Portugal, whom they face Saturday, the Netherlands and Denmark.<\/p>\n

Muller has 32 goals in 106 appearances for Bayern, and 10 goals in 27 games for his country. He starred in all 10 of Germany’s qualification games. (IANS)<\/em><\/p>\n
