Thomas Muller formed a top class partnership with Robert Lewandowski during his time at the club.

Lewandowski joined Barcelona during the summer transfer window, and Sadio Mane moved from Liverpool to Bayern Munich.

Muller has revealed that Mane has been teasing him not to pass the ball to his former teammate.

Muller told SPORT: “Sadio has been joking telling me not to make a mistake and pass the ball to Lewandowski during the game.

“We have to play our game tomorrow and not focus too much on Lewy.

“Our connection on the pitch grew over time. But now we have a lot of versatile players up front and we don’t have a single reference. Opponents don’t know who the regular striker is and we have to make it work.”

Muller admitted he’s expecting a tough game between the two sides, one which the neutral would enjoy.

He also said: “We want to impose ourselves in duels and we want to be scathing after losing the ball. The game will be open. I think tomorrow will be a game that the neutral spectator will like.”
