Bayern Munich striker Thomas Muller insists they can survive Robert Lewandowski's departure.

Lewandowski was sold by Bayern to Barcelona last week.

Muller told BILD: "We are not going to play with ten just because Lewy is gone. Now there will be chances for other players. Maybe we'll score less, but that doesn't mean we won't succeed as a team.

“ All parties decided that Lewy should leave the club, there were good reasons for that.

"We had a special bond on the pitch, it was something that was developing, it didn't happen right away when he arrived from Dortmund, we worked on it, at all times we knew where the other was."
