Mueller ready to show Chelsea what Germany is missing
A year after being dumped by Germany head coach Joachim Loew, Thomas Mueller is set to showcase why he is so important for Bayern Munich - and Robert Lewandowski - at Chelsea in the Champions League.
Alongside Erling Braut Haaland, Bayern's star striker Lewandowski is joint top-scorer in the Champions League with 10 goals going into the last 16, first-leg clash on Tuesday.
In order to keep him fresh, Mueller was a second-half replacement in Friday's 3-2 league win over bottom side Paderborn when Lewandowski netted twice.
The Poland striker is on a career-high 38 goals after 32 games in all competitions and is happiest with Mueller alongside him.
"It's easier with Thomas next to me, he helps me out a lot," Lewandowski has said of Mueller.
"We always have one player more in the penalty area when he plays, I have more space and not always two or three opponents against me."
