Thomas Muller was left out of Bayern Munich's starting XI on Saturday, leading him to speak out against the decision made by Carlo Ancelotti.

"I don't know exactly which qualities the coach wants to see," Muller told ARD. "But mine seem not to be 100 percent in demand."

Bayern started Thiago Alcantara in Muller's place. Muller eventually came on in the 73rd minute for Franck Ribery.

Ancelotti said tactics were the only reason Muller did not start the game.

"We tried to plan the game using the wide areas more and to have more possession in the middle," he said. "For this reason Thomas didn't start the game.

"He went in during the second part of the game and did well. It was only a technical decision."
