WATCH: Arturo Vidal’s shameful dive to win penalty completely overshadows Thomas Muller’s milestone

Not his finest hour

Ben Kiely

It’s almost as if Arturo Vidal was waiting with his fly down, prepped to relieve himself all over Thomas Muller’s parade.

Bayern Munich secured their place into DFB-Pokal final with a 2-0 win over Werder Bremen on Tuesday night. Thomas Muller scored in each half at the Allianz Arena, taking him past 150 goals for the club, a feat which only four players in the club’s history have managed to complete.

However, Muller’s milestone was not what everyone was talking about after the game. The most memorable part of the match, for all the wrong reasons, was undoubtedly Arturo Vidal’s horrendous dive with 20 minutes left to play.

Vidal went down in a heap in the Bremen box after zero contact with an opposition defender.Muller converted the subsequent spot-kick to take his tally for the season up to an impressive 31.
