Müller, to the referee: “We played against the thugs of Europe and you get me yellow for that”

Thomas Müller left one of the anecdotes of the match between Bayern and Atlético. German striker saw the yellow card in the first half after a foul on Trippier and went into a rage. Now, with the empty stadiums where practically everything is heard, the Bayern player left a qualifier referring to Atlético.

With the scoreboard still without goals, after 20 minutes between fuss, he described the rojiblanco team as the “thug of Europe”. Thus, after seeing the warning, Michael Oliver shouted to the Englishman: “We are playing against the thugs of Europe and you take me yellow for that.” Asked about the expression in a press conference as the moment in which Bayern could wake up in the game, his coach Hans-Dieter Flick did not want to enter to assess the expression of his player and limited himself to indicating that “It can be said that we have presented ourselves very physical, especially against this team that plays the ball very aggressive and it was very important to show our face and show our quality. I think it's a deserved victory, it was the first game of the group, it's great how we performed on the pitch. “

Bayern players they complained a lot about the arbitration proceedings during the 2016 tie, where they accused Atlético of stopping the game with constant fouls. Something that seems to have engraved on Müller's retina. At the Allianz Arena meeting, closed for local win (4-0) despite the fact that the German and Lewandowski did not see the door, the rojiblanco team left with 13 fouls, four of them punished with yellow and the Bavarian team saw eight infractions sanctioned with two cards, Müller's and Alaba's sight, both in the first half.
