Bayern Munich stalwart Thomas Muller will start in tomorrow’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Inter Milan.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Vincent Kompany will rely on the 35-year-old to inspire a comeback.

Indeed, the runaway Bundesliga leaders head to the San Siro with a mountain to climb after a first-leg defeat.

Lautaro Martinez and Davide Frattesi propelled Inter to a crucial 2-1 win at the Allianz Arena last week.

Therefore, Bayern Munich must pull off the improbable and win on Inter’s home ground to reach the semi-finals.

As the longest-serving stalwart in the current crop, Thomas Muller has unparalleled influence in the dressing room.

Furthermore, he has been Bayern’s most talismanic figure for years.

With 57 European goals, he’s one of the club’s most iconic players.

Meanwhile, tomorrow will be his 163rd game in European football, equaling Lionel Messi’s number of continental appearances.

Muller will be part of the support cast behind Harry Kane, with Michael Olise and Leroy Sane likely to join them in attack.
