Thomas Muller Apologises for Kicking Ajax's Nicolas Tagliafico in the Head

Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller has apologised for kicking Ajax defender Nicolas Tagliafico in the head during Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash at the Johan Cruyff Arena:

Nico Tagliafico

@esmuellert_ I know, I'm fine, thanks for asking! good luck @esmuellert_

The 29-year-old was sent off on 75 minutes for his challenge on the Argentinian, which earned him a straight red card from referee Clement Turpin.

The high challenge left Tagliafico requiring treatment on the pitch, and he needed staples to stem the bleeding from a head wound, per Tom Farmery of MailOnline.
