Thomas Muller’s sublime but accidental lob for Bayern vs Olympiakos

Thomas Muller’s opening goal that set Bayern Munich on their way to a 3-0 win over Olympiakos came with a fairly generous slice of luck.

Muller at first appeared to have scored a sublime lob during Bayern’s opening Champions League group match on Wednesday evening. But, speaking after the game Muller admitted he was attempting a cross for Robert Lewandowski: “I have to be honest and say the ball bobbled slightly before the opening goal. It was a little bit lucky but very important for us.”
