Club legend puts collective before own ego: Müller is Bayern's luxury reservist. In 2024, Müller sat on the bench three times in a row.
Despite a major staff shortage, the offensive star was not in the starting line-up last Saturday in Augsburg (3:2). After Kingsley Coman (27/torn medial ligament) sustained a serious knee injury, he was not substituted; instead of Müller, talent Mathys Tel (18) was preferred. It wasn't until the 89th minute that coach Thomas Tuchel let him play.
