The German forward has a reputation for routinely mocking opposing teams, teammates, and even supporters. After his side knocked Paris Saint-Germain and Lionel Messi from the UEFA Champions League in the last 16, he went ahead to throw shade at them.

“Against Messi, things have always gone well at all levels in terms of results. At club level, our problem was Cristiano when he was at Real Madrid, but I have all the respect in the world for Messi’s performance… Individually, it was incredible. (Messi) threw the team on his back. It is not easy to play against a team like the PSG”, Muller told Kicker last week.
