Thomas Muller has been mocked by football fans online after Bayern Munich were thumped 4-1 by Barcelona in their Champions League clash on Wednesday night.
The Catalan titans went ahead in the 1st minute through Raphinha, with Harry Kane then drawing Bayern level.
However, Barcelona upped the ante and continued their stunning form under Hansi Flick following two more goals from Raphinha.
Former Bayern star Robert Lewandowski also bagged against his old club to complete the rout, with the German giants a shadow of the side that won the entire competition under Flick in 2020.

That year, Bayern memorably beat Barcelona 8-2.
Muller netted twice that night and has scored a total of eight goals against the LaLiga side throughout the course of his career.

And fans on social media were quick to stick the knife into the Germany international, who has mocked Barcelona himself in the past.
“This picture has just cured 4 years of trauma,” were the words of one fan.
A second said: “The moral of the lesson is to always stay humble Thomas Muller.”
“This Thomas Muller new wallpaper definitely means a lot to Barça fans than the actual victory,” were the words of a third user.
Another wrote: “Oh Thomas Muller is sad, inject it into my vein.”

“We didn’t have the possession and control that we aimed for. We didn’t play like we were able to play; that’s what I meant.
“Maybe it’s only human, when losing 4-1, to step up again and to try again, but it’s not that easy.
“We had good possession of the ball, so maybe the scoreline was a little bit of a strange result.
“We have to respect that they are a good team, that Raphinha had an almost perfect night, while we missed good chances.”
