On Tuesday, atthe Allianz Arena, BayerndefeatedBarcelona2-0 in the UEFA Champions League Group Stage. Robert Lewandowski, who departed the Bundesliga giants this summer after eight years of brilliant service, was unable to score on his homecoming to Munich.
The Pole’s return to face his old team was an emotional one. When the Blaugrana new No. 9 returned came back, he was welcomed by his old teammates in the tunnel. The group responded well to the welcome, with the exception of Thomas Muller, who winked rather than shake Lewandowski’s hand.
The latter, who even celebrated his33rd birthday that day was topped off with a victory against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. However, what started as a picture-perfect evening turned into a terrifying nightmare.
Whathappened to Thomas Muller of Bayern on his birthday?
As reported in German media outlets,Thomas Muller had his house broken into and more than six figures worth of property taken.On Tuesday night, during the evening, the villa of the forward in the little village of Wettlkam, in the municipality of Otterfing south of Munich, was broken into.
German daily BILD said that police have established that cash, jewelry, and other valuables were taken from Muller’s home while he was helping Bayern. “Tuesday evening, several unknown persons robbed a house in Otterfingand tookmoney, jewelry and valuables,” the local police department has announced in a news statement that they have placed a value of €500,000on the stolen property.

The 33-year-old departed the Allianz Arena quickly and had no time for the media, which came as a surprise since the vice-captain normally spoke to the press after games. He later said that he had to attend a “private appointment,” which everyone assumed to be a birthday celebration.
Muller, Aubameyang, and Carvajalare just one of the many
