Muller slams Bayern Munich’s creativity

Meanwhile, Muller has slammed his fellow Bayern Munich players for having no creative ideas, after their 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, SB Nation reports.

The Bavarians looked firmly in control of a game, but that quickly vanished as Frankfurt equalised and saw the game ended a one-all draw.

It is now the third consecutive draw Bayern has had in the Bundesliga since the resumption of football after the 2022 FIFA World Cup, as they have failed to win any game since the restart.

Muller reverses decision to retire

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Muller making a dramatic turnaround on his decision to retire from Germany's national team, following a disappointing World Cup tournament.

The 33-year-old forward had tendered his resignation from international football after Die Mannschaft crashed out in the group stages of the 2022 tournament.

Muller has now made a U-turn and decided to remain available for selection, should he be called upon for upcoming international fixtures or tournaments.
