After debutant Harry Kane shared tales of his first championship party extravaganza at an upscale restaurant, it's Thomas Müller's turn to bask in the glory! The star striker can now look forward to a homegrown celebration in FC Bayern's stadium, replete with heartwarming moments. On the penultimate game of the season, FC Bayern will receive the coveted trophy yet again, and not just on the last matchday.
This jubilant occasion with the most treasured trophy in German club football will be the central highlight of a Thomas Müller farewell party filled with goosebumps moments at FC Bayern.
Beer sprinkles instead of Champagne pops
Kane gave fans a glimpse into his first celebration bash on Instagram. "What a night! What a party with the players and staff," said the English captain about the wet and lively hours spent at Munich's Käfer restaurant. "I can't wait to enjoy the next few weeks and celebrate with the fans in the stadium on Saturday," he added the next day.
The champagne-drenched party continued with music blaring to well beyond midnight, featuring party classics, humongous cigars, and a slew of charming moments captured in several snapshots posted online. England's captain Kane was seen arm in arm with DFB captain Joshua Kimmich and buddy Eric Dier, singing hits like "Sweet Caroline" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads." Kimmich was also pictured with a giant Champagne bottle and soaking wet trousers.
Trophy time
With a charming smile, Kane reminisced about his cherished memory from the celebration, "I'm sure everyone feels it a bit today." Before that, he can gain insights from the 13-time champion, Thomas Müller. For Kane, there will be memorable beer sprinkles rather than Champagne showers, as was the case in Käfer's luxury restaurant.
The German Football League announced the exciting news on Monday morning, "We are champions again - and the trophy is back home next Saturday."
"We now have time to enjoy that we have won the Bundesliga," said coach Vincent Kompany, relishing "an incredible feeling" after FC Bayern secured the 34th German championship in total.
Fond farewell and famous farewell kit
The coming Saturday will be momentous for Thomas Müller. The venerable club icon will play his final home game for FC Bayern after 25 years. To pay a fitting tribute, the stadium will celebrate the championship trophy presentation and also Müller's farewell, "a Bavarian institution," appropriately. Echoing the sentiment, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen shared his thoughts, "An emotional farewell."
The end of Müller's extraordinary career will then culminate in the XXL Club World Cup in the U.S.A, slated between June 14 and July 13. "There is indeed still one title to be distributed in this season," said Dreesen.
By then, it will likely be clear whether Müller will conclude his remarkable career after the Bayern era or dare another foreign adventure, perhaps in the US league.
"Next Saturday, we're looking forward to celebrating together with the fans at the stadium and later on the town hall balcony," said sporting director Max Eberl, who, like Kane, is a championship debutant. Amidst a sea of red and white flags and countless ardent Bayern fans, the German champions of FC Bayern will present themselves with their trophies on the town hall balcony at Marienplatz on May 18th.
Besides the thrilling memories of the first championship celebration, Monday at FC Bayern was all about remembrance. The club leadership honored the football legend Franz Beckenbauer, referred to as the "Kaiser," at the inauguration of the Franz Beckenbauer Platz in front of the Allianz Arena. Beckenbauer, who passed away in 2024, will again be remembered with the Franz Beckenbauer Platz.
