Thomas Muller’s sense of humour is unmatched, and he displayed it towards Aurelien Tchouameni after the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid settled for a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena, with Vinicius Jr’s brace cancelling out Leroy Sane and Harry Kane's goals.

The two sides will clash again at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu to decide who goes through to the final at Wembley Stadium and face the winner of the tie between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

Muller accuses Tchouameni of stealing tactics

Muller and Tchouameni returned to their teams' starting lineup after sitting out the second leg of the quarter-final. The German for tactical reasons and the Frenchman due to suspension.

The veteran forward was granting an interview to CBS Sports Golazo after the match when he spotted the Madrid midfielder approaching the media area for his interview later.

“Tchouaméni is listening for the tactics for the next game,” he said.

The comment cracked up the entire studio before the 24-year-old showed briefly on the screen and disappeared.

According to fcbayern.com, the 34-year-old made his 150th Champions League appearance last night. He expressed unhappiness at Bayern's failure to get the result.

“You have to be careful every minute. Toni Kroos is laughing, but he knows it's always the same. So I'm not happy today, but it was okay,” he said.

The German, who made his UCL debut in 2008, also surpassed former Madrid forward Karim Benzema, who is fourth in the list for most knockout stage appearances with 68.

Muller calls out Kai Havertz

Sports Brief reported on Muller calling out Kai Havertz on social media after Bayern Munich were drawn against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final.

The versatile forward has a habit of publicly commenting on ties. Recently, he called out Robert Lewandowski when Bayern drew Barcelona.
