Bayern München wasted no time in making their presence felt against Barcelona, and Thomas Müller reaped the benefits from that good start.
The German footballer found the back of the net with a precise shot after just four minutes, following a swift assist by Robert Lewandowski.
The record-breaking striker thus had one more reason to celebrate a milestone he had set even before th game kicked off.

With this goal, Müller also confirmed just how much he likes playing against Barcelona. The player had only accomplished that many goals against Arsenal in this tournament...until today.
Thomas Muller has now scored five goals in five appearances against Barcelona in the #UCL
