Julian Nagelsmann blasts Thomas Muller after Bayern Munich dumped out of Champions League

Bayern Munich manager Julian Naglesmann has blasted Thomas Muller for his late miss after the German giants were knocked out the Champions League by Villarreal.

Unai Emery 's men stunned the Allianz Arena and snatched a late 1-1 draw which sent them through to the semi-finals on aggregate, having recorded a historic win last week in Spain. Talisman Robert Lewandowski scored to level to the tie on Tuesday night, as Bayern once again dominated possession, but Muller squandered a glorious opportunity to put the Bundesliga behemoths ahead on aggregate.

The legendary German forward somehow headed wide and post-match, Nagelsmann told Prime Video Deutschland: "Thomas has to score that, you don't get many of those." His miss allowed Villarreal to stay in the game and substitute Samuel Chukwueze to bag a late equalise, only four minutes after coming on, which gave Emery's side the lead again.
