Bayern Munich ace Thomas Muller bags a double against Besiktas after he is given ‘valuable tips’… from his wife’s horse
THOMAS MULLER had his shooting boots on in Bayern Munich's 5-0 thrashing over Champions League opponents Besiktas on Wednesday.
The Germany ace scored twice in the rout and his wife may have revealed the secrets to his success which involves one of their horses.
Muller's missus, who competes internationally in the dressage, owns her stables and the pair have a horse called Dave.

"I enjoy it a lot. They make me feel comfortable, the attitude and what they look like and (the way they) live their lives."
