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.
After receiving several minutes of treatment, Muller was able to continue playing... briefly.
While he was able to put his weight on his leg, he needed to be taken off as a substitute five minutes later.
Check out the bizarre moment in the video embedded below.
