Bundesliga star suffers one of the most embarrassing injuries you’ll ever see

His manager must have been fuming

This Bundesliga star’s game went from amazingly well to horrifyingly awful in the blink of an eye.

Hamburg’s Nicolai Muller grabbed the only goal of his side’s Bundesliga victory over Augsburg at the weekend.

Muller showed killer instinct to place the ball home on the far post, getting on the end of a cross that missed pretty much everyone else. Having only scored five league goals in last season’s campaign, Muller may not be used to celebrating appropriately.

Having only scored five league goals in last season’s campaign, Muller may not be used to celebrating appropriately. This really showed when he attempted to give his lovely effort the celebration it warranted.

It all started with a twirl, which is embarrassing in itself and rarely bodes well for the rest of the move.

At the mid-way point of his pirouette routine, Muller took flight.

He wound up his right leg and used it as a launching pad. He raised his fight in the air on the ascent in a celebration reminiscent of one you might see from Italy’s favourite princess-saving plumber, Mario.

As cringey as the leap was, we must admit it was executed quite well. He got some good hang-time, but he may have used up all his focus on only half of the move.

For you see, what goes up, must come down and Muller did not stick the landing at all.

Whatever way he fell back down to the Earth, he immediately dropped to his knees and began clutching his right leg while screaming in agony. His teammates swarmed him, not realising that he was hurt.

Soon it became apparent that Muller was in a bad way. He rolled onto his back and started screaming more aggressively which caused concern among his teammates.

The surrounding players raised their hands, not in celebration this time, but rather to signify the physio to come check the fallen winger out.
