Bayern Munich will have to wait until January 10 to discover the length of Thomas Muller's impending Champions League suspension.
Thomas Muller could be suspended for Bayern Munich's two Champions League last-16 matches for kicking Nicolas Tagliafico in the head during Wednesday's 3-3 draw with Ajax. The Germany international was shown a straight red card in the 75th minute when, attempting to control a high cross-field pass, his studs made contact with Tagliafico, leaving an open wound to the defender's head.
Dangerous play
The 29-year-old may be dealt more than the manadatory one-match ban if UEFA deems the incident a serious offence at a hearing on 10 January.
Ajax centre-back Maximilian Wober also faces an anxious wait after he was dismissed for a rash challenge on Leon Goretzka eight minutes earlier. The entertaining draw in Amsterdam was enough for Bayern to advance as Group D winners, two points clear of the Eredivisie outfit.
Both clubs, along with Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk, will be subject to UEFA disciplinary proceedings and potential fines for a range of off-field indiscretions.

WHAT A GAME! We top the group but Ajax deserve the credit. They played with passion and motivation to win. 2 Red Cards 6 Goals!! Sรผle was a beast for Bayern, a little unlucky at the end but Boateng has been struggling, he really needs to up his game. I'd prefer a slower Hummels over a sluggish Boateng. Ribery gave the ball away too much. Gnabry was lighting it up early on. Lewandowski!!! What can you say about that man! Leading goal scorer in the UCL and in the top 5 leagues this season!! A shame he was left out of the Ballon d'Or top 30. Kovac made some good substitutions at the correct time. Super subs Coman and Thiago almost won it for Bayern coming 1-2 down to 3-2 lead in a matter of minutes! We topped the group and that's all that matters! Mia San Mia ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
