Aurelien Tchouameni gatecrashed Thomas Muller’s CBS interview after the captivating 2-2 draw between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Vinicius Jr scored twice for the visitors, whilst Leroy Sane and Harry Kane were on target for the hosts, as the Champions League semi-final remains finely poised going into the second leg on May 8.
Muller cheekily joked that the Real Madrid star was ‘listening’ in a hope to gain an advantage for next week’s reverse fixture at the Bernabeu by being present for the post-match interview.
Muller said he felt ‘very good’ during the game, despite making his 150th Champions League appearance in the contest.
He then noticed Real’s Frenchman to the side, and said: ‘Tchouameni is listening for the tactics for the next game’, which caused the pundits in the studio to crack up with laughter.

Tchouameni then came on screen, and the pair of them shook hands, before the Frenchman quickly disappeared again, ahead of his own interview afterwards.
Muller admitted he was ‘not satisfied’ with the outcome of the first leg, as Bayern Munich squandered a 2-1 lead, but added ‘that’s Real Madrid’.
‘You have to be careful in every minute’, he added. ‘Toni Kroos is laughing, but he knows it’s always the same. So I’m not happy today, but it was okay.’
Since his tournament debut in 2009, he has made 150 appearances in the Champions League, a figure only reached by five other players.
