"Maybe Real Madrid is an example to us. I've played for a lot of coaches, including Carlo Ancelotti, who has won the most trophies.
"After things that don't go well, it's all about getting back up and keeping your confidence. We'd do well to follow that."

Thomas Muller played under Ancelotti when the veteran Italian manager was coach of Bayern Munich between 2016 and 2017, leading the club to the Bundesliga title in his only season.
