Overview
- Sky released the 60‑minute documentary “Müller‑Wohlfahrt – Der Arzt der Champions” on Tuesday, which profiles the 84‑year‑old doctor and his five‑decade career with top athletes.
- In interviews tied to the film Müller‑Wohlfahrt said he felt abandoned by Bayern bosses Uli Hoeneß and Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge during the April 2015 clash with coach Pep Guardiola when he and his medical staff stepped away.
- The film collects praise from world‑class athletes that underscores his influence while also revisiting his long‑term use of the calf‑blood serum Actovegin, a treatment described as effective by supporters but viewed as controversial by some.
- Coverage reaffirms the known sequence: the 2015 public rupture after Bayern’s 1:3 loss in Porto, players such as Arjen Robben continuing to consult him privately, and Müller‑Wohlfahrt’s later return to the club after Guardiola left in 2017.
- The documentary refocuses debate on how medical authority is governed at elite clubs and what oversight or standards should guide treatments, and it has not prompted any official admissions or actions from FC Bayern so far.
