Speaking in pre-match press conference, Müller said Sadio Mane has been warning him since days not to pass the ball to the Polish who was his former teammate.
“Sadio [Mane] has been jokingly telling me for the last 10 days to be careful not to accidentally pass the ball to [Lewandowski],” he told the media.
“Robert Lewandowski is a great player, but I hope we can show him today that he made a mistake by leaving Bayern Munich.
“We have to play our game tomorrow and not focus too much on Lewy. Our connection on the pitch developed over the years. But now we have a lot of flexible players up front and we don’t have that one target man.
“The opponents don’t know who the target is in attack, but we have to make it work.”
