Vincent Kompany slammed for ‘humiliating’ Bayern Munich player vs Celtic
Thomas Muller was on the pitch for just 24 seconds as Bayern Munich knocked Celtic out of the Champions League (Getty) Lothar Matthaus has accused Vincent Kompany of ‘humiliating’ Thomas Muller during Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw with Celtic in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Bayern were on the brink of extra time and a potential penalty shootout after Nicolas Kuhn put Celtic in front in the second half at the Allianz Arena to level the tie at 2-2 on aggregate. Alphonso Davies rescued Bayern by scoring in the third minute of injury time to send the Bundesliga leaders through to the Champions League knockout phase. Moments after Davies’ goal, Kompany brought on Muller as a substitute to replace Jamal Musiala but the 35-year-old was on the pitch for just 24 seconds before the referee blew his whistle for full time. Matthaus says he was ‘shocked’ by Kompany’s decision and claims Muller should not have been used as a player to bring on in order to run down the clock. Alphonso Davies’ injury-time equaliser rescued Bayern against Celtic (Getty) ‘This is humiliating,’ Matthaus told Sky Sport Germany. ‘It made me sad and I feel sorry for him. I was shocked. ‘Thomas Muller doesn’t have to put himself through that. He is one of the greatest and most successful players of all time. ‘So for those few seconds, the coach can take another player. If that is the perspective for the future, then he should do something else. ‘I don’t think he enjoyed it. For what? So that he can be credited with another Champions League appearance? I would have felt stupid if I were him.’ When asked about Kompany’s decision in the mixed zone after the game, Muller simply said: ‘It’s fine.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
