Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller probably didn't mean to score with this effort, but score he did, to give his side a 1-0 lead over Olympiacos.
Muller sent into the box what looked like a cross from over 25 yards out, presumably seeking the foot or head of Robert Lewandowski, but watched as the ball sailed high over Olympiacos goalkeeper Roberto, who got his fingertips on it, but couldn't make the save.
Muller sported a cheeky smile as teammates surrounded him to celebrate a goal that was borne out of circumstance rather than creativity. But he'll take it, just like the rest.
