Watch: Muller uses passport as fake phone to avoid reporters

Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Thomas Muller is usually quite friendly with members of the press, but was evidently not quite in the mood to stop for a chat on his way through the arrivals gate at Munich airport.

It's why he walked by deep in conversation, eyes forward, too busy for an impromptu interview - while pressing his passport against his ear instead of his phone.

It worked, as Muller went undisturbed upon his return from winter training camp in Doha ahead of an away trip to SC Freiburg next Friday.
