Thomas Muller said he did not hesitate for a second about letting Arjen Robben take Bayern Munich's second penalty in their 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, even though he was on a hat trick at the time.
Having convinced Arturo Vidal to let him take the first spot kick, which saw him move on to five goals for the season in three games, he had to convince Vidal again to step aside and let Robben take -- and score -- the next penalty.
"I'm a team player," Muller told Sky Sport Deutschland. "Arturo was Juventus' penalty-taker and he asked me if he could take it, but it's all about being part of a team at Bayern Munich.
"We are getting along quite nicely."
Bayern boss Pep Guardiola said he was "obviously very, very pleased" with his side's dominating performance against a fellow Champions League side.
"We've played against big, big rivals," Guardiola said. "I watch almost every game played by Roger [Schmidt]'s team and they usually create five, six, seven, eight or nine clear-cut chances, but today they only had Hakan Calhanoglu's free kick.
"Your build-up play in the first third is very important against this team. We urgently need to improve the final ball."
Neither of the penalties should have been given in the eyes of Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt, although he did not want to use that as an excuse for his side's defeat.
"I don't think you need to find excuses when you lose at Bayern Munich," he said. "We showed at the start of the second half that we wanted to make a game of it, but then when you go 2-0 down to a penalty which did not necessarily have to be given, then it knocks the stuffing out of you.
"You can give [the first penalty], but I don't think we would have got it had it been for us.
"I think neither of them should have been given in truth. When things like that happen in the penalty area, I would not expect a penalty even for us.
"Bayern were the better team. I would say that we were up against the best team in the world -- we saw what a team they are and what quality they have.
"You need to have a perfect day to get something here in Munich, and once it was 2-0, we lost our belief and that was it."
Leverkusen midfielder Christoph Kramer also did not want to "blame the defeat on the penalties," acknowledging like his coach that Bayern once again seem to be in a different league.
Both sides came into the game level on points at the top of the table, but Bayern end the night at the top of the standings.
"Absolutely, you've got to have a good day and everything go for you to get something against Bayern, but we lacked both," the German World Cup winner said.
"We weren't in our best shape after our midweek [Champions League] game, but it was a deserved defeat. It could have been worse and we've just got to accept this.
"We couldn't cope with them. If you're not 100 percent against Bayern -- and we were at 90 percent after Wednesday -- then you've got no chance."
