German soccer legend Thomas Müller is heading to North America as he joins MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps. On Tuesday, Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal between the Canadian camp and the 35-year-old.

Departing on what the 35-year-old has repeatedly called a new “adventure” after 25 years with Bayern Munich, Müller officially began his new chapter on Sunday, playing 30 minutes in his MLS debut in a 1–1 draw against the Houston Dynamo .

Minutes after entering the game Mueller, a World Cup-winner, blasted a ball into the back of the net, but it was ruled offside

Aging European stars moving to MLS is nothing new. But giving Messi credit suggests a problem the league could face in a few years.

The 2014 World Cup champion also confirmed that there is no hesitancy towards BC Place’s artificial turf surface.
