Player Reflections

Regarding his achievement, Müller stated, “Today, I’m more interested in winning the Canadian championship than my personal trophy collection. It’s a wonderful number, but in the end, what I’m looking for and what brings me pleasure is the feeling with the boys, with the fans.”

He further added, “The feeling of winning and showing that not only can we win titles, but also fight in tough moments, is great. I know we’ve already won the Canadian championship four times in a row. You play against teams from lower leagues. But you still have to do your job.”

Whitecaps’ Ongoing Dominance and Future Prospects

This title is the fourth in succession and the fifth overall for Vancouver Whitecaps. Their latest success guarantees qualification for the CONCACAF Cup in the new 2026 season.
