‘Maybe Bayern can get Robben out of retirement!’ – Muller jokes about bringing winger back for more Schalke magic

Thomas Muller has joked that Bayern Munich should be looking to bring Arjen Robben out of retirement for a DFB-Pokal quarter-final clash with Schalke.

The Bundesliga champions are preparing for a meeting with familiar foes in the last eight of domestic cup competition and that has conjured up memories of a famous meeting between the two clubs from back in 2010.

On that occasion, a dramatic semi-final encounter was settled in thrilling fashion when Dutch winger Robben was at the peak of his powers and scored a stunning solo goal in extra time to book Bayern a place in the final.
