“When you see the way ‘Lewy’ is playing right now, he needs to win the thing on Monday,” Mueller remarked Saturday after Bayern’s 1-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld kept them atop the Bundesliga table.

“At the present, no one is playing for club and country with such consistency.”

“There’s no reason to even bring it up.”
